Fake heiress and “fascinating” fraudster Anna Delvey deserves her spot on Dancing With the Stars, insists its showrunner Conrad Green, defending his decision to cast the convicted felon on the long-running reality TV competition’s thirty-third season.
“We’ve always tried to be a very broad church when it comes to the types of people, the types of backgrounds, the types of stories we have on the show," Green said in an interview with Variety. “A lot of people have watched the dramas of her life, and have followed her story, so I think there is an inherent curiosity about her.”
“Yes, she had the issues she’s had, but we’ve had other people on the show who’ve had criminal issues in the past,” Green continued. “She served her time. I think it’s perfectly valid for her to be on the show, and I think people have been really curious to see how she performs.”
