Fox News
"Dancing with the Stars" contestant and convicted felon Anna "Delvey" Sorokin is ripping the show for it's "predatory" behavior.
"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," Sorokin told NBC News via email. "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." "It’s supposed to be a dance competition and not a popularity contest." Caroline Thayer is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital. Follow Caroline Thayer on Twitter at @carolinejthayer.

"It felt like I was never really given a fair chance by the viewers or some of the judges given their nonsensical scoring," shared Sorokin, who scored an 18 and 17 (out of 30 total points) for the two dances she performed each week. "It’s supposed to be a dance competition and not a popularity contest."
