This month, amid her ongoing immigration case for overstaying her visa, ABC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/anna-sorokin-dwight-howard-jenn-tran-headline-dancing-stars-rcna169519\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced<\/a> Sorokin would be among the 13 pop-culture figures to participate in the dance show alongside actress Tori Spelling and U.S. Olympians Ilona Maher and Stephen Nedoroscik.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">On Tuesday night, Sorokin and Spelling were eliminated after Sorookin performed a quickstep routine with her partner Ezra Sosa \u2014 her court-issued ankle monitor in full view \u2014 to KT Tunstall\u2019s \u201cSuddenly I See.\u201d<strong> <\/strong>The week prior, she performed a cha-cha dance to Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s \u201cEspresso\u201d and scored 18 out of 30 possible points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cIt felt like I was never really given a fair chance by the viewers or some of the judges\u2019 given their nonsensical scoring,\u201d Sorokin said. \u201cIt\u2019s supposed to be a dance competition and not a popularity contest.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"embed-widget embedWidget embed-widget--medium\" data-testid=\"embed-widget\"\/>\n<p class=\"\">Afterward, the show\u2019s co-host Julianne Hough asked what Sorokin would take away from the experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cNothing,\u201d she responded before laughing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Sorokin\u2019s on-stage quip, along with her admission later that her favorite part of the show was \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Entertainment\/wireStory\/anna-sorokin-eliminated-dancing-stars-round-cuts-114083579\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">getting eliminated<\/a>,\u201d has since become a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1407801\/anna-delvey-sums-up-her-dancing-with-the-stars-experience-with-just-one-word\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">viral meme<\/a> and the latest talking point in criticism aimed at ABC for casting her in the first place. To join the show, which Sorokin admitted she was \u201chesitant\u201d about, she had to get permission from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to compete in Los Angeles, far outside her 75-mile house arrest radius based in New York.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Viewers immediately expressed outrage when ABC announced that the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dgepress.com\/abc\/pressrelease\/dancing-with-the-stars-is-back-in-the-ballroom-with-an-all-new-celebrity-cast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">notorious ankle bracelet fashionista<\/a>\u201d would appear on the show\u2019s 33rd season, demanding the network \u201cstop glorifying\u201d a felon. \u201cDWTS\u201d alum and choreographer Maksim Chmerkovskiy called her a \u201cprofessional liar\u201d and mocked her dancing on a <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/1dRKqsw6IUYCj64kE6btcm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TMZ podcast<\/a>. \u201cThe View\u201d co-host Whoopi Goldberg lamented that Sorokin received \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/tv\/news\/anna-delvey-dancing-with-the-stars-the-view-1236131993\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">special treatment<\/a>\u201d from the government to compete.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Sorokin was released from a New York prison in February 2021 but was detained weeks later by ICE for overstaying her visa, landing back in prison for another 18 months.
