Anna Sorokin, also known as Anna Delvey, the fake German heiress who swindled New York’s elite social scene and whose crimes inspired Netflix’s “Inventing Anna,” is going to be on Season 33 of ABC’s long-running dance competition show, which premieres on Sept. 17.
Social media users on X, formerly called Twitter, had mixed reactions to the news as Sorokin’s photo made its way onto the platform.
Sorokin is not the only notable casting choice for the upcoming season. Jenn Tran, the most recent “Bachelorette,” will be appearing, too. Tran’s casting was not mentioned during the excruciating three-hour “Bachelorette” live finale Tuesday night, in which producers forced Tran to rewatch her proposal to a man who later ended their engagement during a phone call.
Rounding out the rest of the dancers roster is former NFL wide receiver Danny Amendola; former “Bachelor” Joey Graziadei; NBA veteran Dwight Howard; model Brooks Nader; “Family Matters” actor Reginald VelJohnson; “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Phaedra Parks; “Pretty Little Liars: Summer School” actor Chandler Kinney; “Beverly Hills: 90210” actor Tori Spelling; and “Runaway Train” actor Eric Roberts.
