Anna Delvey's Viral Comeback: Dancing, Fashion, and Deportation Drama

Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Anna Sorokin has dominated headlines all week with what can only be called a viral comeback blitz. Her return to public life began when a New York court finally granted her permission to rejoin social media after a multi-year ban stemming from her post-prison house arrest. Page Six and Telegrafi both buzzed about the decision, as did Sorokin herself, who re-launched her Instagram presence under her notorious Anna Delvey persona Friday night. That alone would have been enough for a multi-day news cycle given her previous digital exile. But Anna’s appetite for spectacle extended well beyond her phone screen.

ABC announced Sorokin as a contestant for the 33rd season of Dancing With the Stars, triggering a fresh wave of controversy and snark. She is the first-ever participant required to dance while wearing an ankle monitor. Her pro partner Ezra Sosa accompanied her to the season’s LA tapings, a setup that reportedly required last-minute ICE approval. Social media was divided: the hashtag DWTSfelon briefly trended, with users debating whether a convicted fraudster deserved the primetime spotlight. JoJo Siwa publicly backed her, insisting, “That’s the drama we need!” but Variety profiles confirmed her inclusion brought a much younger audience to the veteran dance show, whose current season just notched historic ratings.

There’s more. In typical Delvey style, Anna has been teasing a big New York Fashion Week play—both producing and walking in a runway show for designer SHAO, often seen at SoHo events with dance partner Sosa in tow. Rumors swirled that she’s coproducing as many as five Fashion Week events alongside PR heavyweight Kelly Cutrone. She has also hinted at launching her own label, with longer-term ambitions geared toward blending art and fashion. At the recent UPRISE 2025: The Art of Resistance summit, she told Us Weekly she’s now living in her own Manhattan apartment and working on a new art collection for release next spring, her first major project since the notorious sketches she sold from ICE house arrest.

On the legal front, Sorokin’s deportation case is still pending, which AOL and Us Weekly warn could derail her business ventures at any time. Meanwhile, she batted down a bizarre accusation linking her to a luxury pet influencer scandal, posting a flat denial on Instagram. Her story’s constant churn continues to draw interest from business media, with new mentions in 99Signals’ list of “Best Scam Documentaries” and a round-up of celebrity scandals by Morning Brew. In summary, Anna Sorokin is rewriting her own legend—leveraging fame, infamy, and social media savvy into her most visible transformation yet, while the clock still ticks on her uncertain U.S. residency and every move could be her last in the spotlight.
