Anna Delvey, known for swindling people out of money while she posed as a German heiress, has reportedly been cast in the next season of Dancing with the Stars.
On Friday, Page Six claimed that the 33-year-old con artist has been granted permission to travel to Los Angeles for the competition series after her house arrest terms were modified.
The scammer, who was portrayed by actress Julia Garner in the Netflix miniseries Inventing Anna, was jailed in 2019 for her crimes.
In 2022 she began house arrest as she waited to find out if she’d be allowed to remain in the United States following her complete prison stint.
She was recently allowed to start working again and to travel within 70 miles of where she lives on the east coast.

Additionally, Anna was given a Social Security number and permitted to use social media again.
She will not be the first-time Dancing With The Stars competitor to have served time behind bars.
Rapper Lil Kim, comedian Tommy Chong, and entertainer Steve O have previously joined the series after their sentences.
Delvey, however, is the first star who is known solely for her conviction.
She returned to Instagram last week after her two-year ban from online platforms came to an end.
The media personality quickly amassed more than one million followers as she promoted an forthcoming television show.
Based around what she’s famous for, the program will see contestants take their best stab at ‘deception, lying and not letting people see the real you.’
She’s also helmed a public relations business, cheekily named OutLaw Agency.

As part of her return to the public eye, next month during New York Fashion Week Anna will produce shows for up-and-coming designers.
She continues to work on her memoir, and is pitching a talk show to production companies.
Delvey told Daily Mail: ‘I’m grateful to be able to control my own narrative again.
‘When my lawyers called me with the decision, it was overwhelming, a big relief — the same kind of feeling I had when I got out of jail.’
She acknowledged, ‘I made mistakes but I’ve grown up and I’m in a different mindset now. I want to get on with the rest of my life. I hope people will see that I’ve changed and that I’m not the same person, and they’ll give me the opportunity to move on.’
