Under the fake name Anna Delvey, Anna Sorokin pretended to be a German heiress living a life of luxury in New York. After being convicted of fraud and theft in 2019, Netflix released the drama series "Inventing Anna" a few years later, based on her life.
Now she's back in the spotlight. Anna Sorokin is one of the participants in the new season of the American "Let's Dance", "Dancing with the Stars".
But the question is how she can participate in the program, which is recorded in Los Angeles. The Immigration Service wants to deport Anna Sorokin back to her home country, Germany. She was released from prison in October 2022, but has been wearing an ankle monitor and is not allowed to move freely outside of New York.
The TV company ABC is joking about the situation when it calls her a "fashion icon with an ankle monitor" in its press release and shows her off in a gala dress and ankle monitor in a commercial for the program.
Among other stars who will be dancing this fall are actors Eric Roberts and Tori Spelling, as well as Stephen Nedoroscik, whose viral success on the pommel horse at the Olympic Games in Paris last summer secured an American team bronze in gymnastics.
