Anna Delvey wasn’t going to dance through the pain. 

The fake heiress didn’t mince words when sharing how she felt about her negative experience on Dancing With the Stars after being axed during the show’s first round of eliminations.

“I feel that the show so obviously used me to drive up the ratings, that they never had any plans to give me any chance to grow and only cared about exploiting me for attention,” Anna told NBC News in an email statement. “It was predatory of them to try [to] make me feel inadequate and stupid all while I did get progressively better yet they chose to disregard that.” 

E! News has reached out to ABC for a response regarding Anna’s latest comments but has not yet heard back. 

This isn’t the first time Anna, who was cut alongside fellow competitor Tori Spelling and their respective pro partners Ezra Sosa and Pasha Pashkov during the Sept. 24 episode, has shared her candid take on her short-lived experience on the series. In fact, the 33-year-old also recently defended her viral comment where she said she took away “nothing” from her time on the series.

“You guys told me what I'm supposed to do,” she said directed at DWTS producers during the Sept. 28 episode of Tori’s MisSPELLING podcast. “I tried to do it, and then I still was rejected. I'm taking away nothing. This is what I'm taking away from it because your advice was worthless.”

Anna, whose conviction of grand larceny and theft of services for defrauding wealthy individuals and businesses led to criticism over her casting, expressed how being on the show wasn’t worth the hassle after her early elimination.

“It felt like they put so much effort trying to get me on a show, make me feel comfortable, just to eliminate me this early," she added. “It just felt a bit upsetting to me. It felt like a waste of time for me to do all of this for them to just discard me so easily.”

Meanwhile, Tori also noted on her podcast that she was surprised she was voted off so soon. And her estranged husband Dean McDermott echoed those sentiments.

“I actually thought Dancing With the Stars was a dance competition and not a popularity contest but it’s not the first time I’ve been wrong,” Dean said in a Sept. 26 Instagram video. “You did a great job. I think you should still be on the show. But that’s just me. I’m biased. So proud of you. Keep kicking ass, Tori. You’re awesome.”

Tori and Anna may have evacuated the dance floor, but keep reading to see who is still in the running for this season’s Mirrorball.
