Anna Delvey Claps Back At DWTS Alum Maks: “He Must Be Poor” & DWTS Live Discussion Season 33, Episode 2

Anna Delvey didn’t appreciate the shade thrown her way by former Dancing With the Stars stars professional, Maks Chmerkovskiy.

On the TMZ podcast, the pro dancer explained he doesn’t think Anna, a convicted con artist on house arrest, should be allowed to compete for the coveted Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy. Anna Delvey and her professional partner, Ezra Sosa, are competing against Maks’s brother, Val.

Anna’s friend & fashion publicist, Kelly Cutrone (yes, THE Kelly Cutrone from MTV’s The Hills) reposted a screenshot of Maks’ viral story saying “Anna Is A Shitty Dancer.” She added additional text in support her Anna.

Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port’s former boss told Maks, “No one cares about your opinion. Dance yourself into a new reality.”

Anna Delvey entered the chat:

All roads lead to Bravo:

Of course, Maks’s brothers is pro-dancer Val Chmerkovskiy. Val’s celebrity partner is Bravo TV star, Phaedra Parks.

This is a full-family circle for Phaedra. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star competed against Maks on season two of The Traitors. Now, she’s partnered with his brother, Val, on season 33 of Dancing With the Stars..

The entire season 33 cast returns for week two:
