Anna Delvey Made Her ‘DWTS’ Debut and the Reactions Were Not Great

Twitter users said that Delvey’s lackluster performance created a palpably uncomfortable atmosphere in the ballroom, commenting on the “awkward silence” and the way she seemed to “suck all the energy and happiness” out of the room.

Instagram commenters agreed. One person wrote, “The silence during the performance was deafening.” TikTok creators who posted the show said, “She really could not be more uninterested.”

And then there were Delvey’s interactions with her pro-dancer partner, Ezra Sosa. After the performance, host Julianne Hough asked the couple how they were feeling. This is usually where people say something like, “My partner was so supportive” or, “I’m proud of my effort.” Delvey responded, “I feel happy that I don’t have to do this dance again.” TikTok commenters joked, “Poor Ezra! Smiling thru the pain,” and, “Ezra is fighting for his life.” Said one Instagram commenter, “Her last sassy remark made me so mad for Ezra. He put his time, work, and energy into that dance to make you look good and you say that?”
