Anna Sorokin's Controversial Comeback: From DWTS to Dinner Parties and Apologies

Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Anna Sorokin has managed to keep her name in the headlines yet again over the past few days. Most notably, controversy erupted after ABC confirmed her return for the Dancing With The Stars Season 33 finale. This announcement followed months of speculation stoked by cryptic social media posts from Sorokin herself and immediately reignited debate due to her status as one of the most infamous convicted fraudsters of the decade. The network had previously faced backlash for her casting earlier in the season—not just from fans online but also from commentators on shows like The View, who questioned why the show would platform someone whose fame is inseparable from her crimes. According to coverage by Monsters and Critics and The Things, Sorokin’s stint on DWTS was brief and surrounded by “rude comments” and considerable backlash, making her the most controversial name on the roster this season.

In the entrepreneurship and media space, attention is also on Sorokin’s upcoming reality program, Delvey’s Dinner Club, which will be filmed from her East Village apartment while she remains under house arrest. ET Canada and Butternut, the company producing the show, have confirmed that the unscripted series will follow Sorokin discussing her criminal past with high-profile guests, touching on her reputation and her efforts at image rehab. Interest in the project is reportedly high, given its blend of true crime notoriety and celebrity culture.

A rare moment of apparent contrition also surfaced recently. According to Fact In Face, Sorokin publicly apologized for her past deception, finally admitting that “a lot of people suffered” due to her actions. This marks a notable turn from her previously unapologetic public stance, and it’s being watched closely by both her critics and supporters as she pursues a second act in the public eye.

Social media continues to bubble with clips and discussions about Sorokin—hashtags like #annadelvey and #inventinganna are trending on both TikTok and Instagram, particularly after a viral campaign promoting her efforts to “build something” new from her notoriety. Whether her dinner club will be a genuine attempt at accountability or merely another step in rebranding her infamy is still a subject of debate.

Meanwhile, AOL reports that Anna remains in the custody of US immigration authorities, meaning her business activities and public appearances continue to be shaped by the limits of her house arrest and ongoing legal matters. All told, the last few days have only reinforced Anna Sorokin’s uncanny knack for staying relevant—sometimes infamous, sometimes apologetic, but always headline material.
