Anna Delvey has demanded an apology from ABC’s “The View,” claiming co-host Whoopi Goldberg got a key fact about her case wrong.
On Thursday, the hosts of the long-running talk show laid into Delvey and their own network for casting the convicted con artist — who posed as an heiress to bilk businesses and individuals out of more than $250,000 — on reality contest “Dancing With the Stars.”
Amid the lambasting, Goldberg said, “She still owes people money. I don’t understand why she gets to stay [in the US]!”
But Delvey addressed the hosts in a statement to Page Six Friday, writing:
“While you are entitled to your own opinions, you should at least get your facts straight. I served my time and paid everyone back in full three-plus years ago. Looking forward to your on-air correction. Stay nasty ladies, but don’t forget to vote Sept. 17!”
(That’s the date when fans can vote for her first performance on the ballroom competition show.)
As Page Six first reported, Delvey — who was released from prison in February 2021 but remains under house arrest at the behest of ICE while she waits to find out if she can stay in the US — has been given special permission by a judge to travel to LA to compete on the show.
She had already been given an Social Security Number and permission to work in the US.
She’ll wear her ankle monitor during her routines with dance pro partner, Ezra Sosa.
Delvey was reportedly able to pay back much of the money she stole with cash she earned from Netflix show “Inventing Anna.”
