UPDATED with attorney’s statement: A lawyer for Anna Delvey says the Dancing with the stars participant is “grateful” that The view “corrected their false and defamatory statements” and accepted the “apology.”

Whether the daytime talk show actually apologized is subject to interpretation.

“We are grateful that The view has corrected their false and defamatory statements about Ms. Delvey,” attorney Duncan Levin said in a statement provided to Deadline following today’s ruling Display episode. “Like so many others, Anna has made mistakes and, most importantly, she has made amends by both serving her time in prison and paying off all of her debts in full. Anna deserves a second chance and accepts The view“apologies.”

In today’s episode, Display co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin updated a September 5 discussion in which she and several of her co-hosts criticized Delvey’s casting for the dance competition, suggesting that Delvey — formerly Anna Sorokin and subject of the Netflix docuseries Inventing Anna —still owed compensation to some of its victims.

In a short clip at the end of today’s episode, Griffin, appearing alone, reads a statement straight into the camera.

“We recently talked about Anna Delvey, the convicted fraudster, and noted that she was on Dancing with the stars and question the fairness of her participation on the show, as it is an opportunity that most other convicted criminals and immigrants seeking asylum simply do not get.

“After that conversation, we heard from Miss Delvey’s attorney who vehemently objected to our statement that she still owed money to people. He claimed that statement falsely suggested that she still owed restitution to her fraud victims. And he provided a document from the Office of Victim Services that he claims proves that all of Miss Delvey’s restitution has been paid in full and that all of her victims have been fully compensated, end quote.

“We are all looking forward to the new season of Dancing with the stars premieres tomorrow night on ABC.”

In the September 5 episode of The viewhosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin and Griffin criticized the convicted con artist’s participation in the upcoming season of the ABC dance competition. Among other things, they said that Delvey still owes money to a number of people and institutions she defrauded.

During that episode, The view aired a short clip of Delvey and her professional dance partner Ezra Sosa joking about the bejeweled ankle bracelet Delvey is required to wear, even though she has said she has permission from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, to perform DWTS system. Then Goldberg said, “I think back to all those families whose family members have been arrested by ICE, who have gone to court to get their father, brother, mother back, and this woman, they gave her permission to do this? … Is there a two-tiered system at ICE?”

Delvey was convicted in 2019 in a New York state court of theft and other crimes after posing as a German heiress and scamming thousands of dollars from various people and institutions. After serving two years in prison, she was released on probation but was taken into custody by ICE for overstaying her visa. She appealed, and last year she was ordered to wear an ankle monitor while confined to her Manhattan apartment.

Hostin said during that conversation, “If you think about it, she scammed so many people, and then she spent about two years in prison and then another 18 months in prison for overstaying her welcome, overstaying her visa. So she committed another crime, and what did she get? A bejeweled anklet and a spot on a TV show.”

Hostin compared Delvey’s DWTS casting for Gypsy-Rose Blanchard who became a reality TV star after being released from prison on charges of second-degree murder in the death of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard.

Griffin disagreed with the comparison.

“I’m here for a redemption arc, not a rehab arc,” Griffin said, adding that Blanchard, like Martha Stewart before her, took responsibility before returning to the public eye. “Gypsy-Rose has had her day,” she said, adding that Delvey “still owes people money.”

“Scammers often remain scammers,” said Griffin, who DWTS fellow players “be on your guard.”

Shortly after the September 5 episode aired, Delvey posted a message on X asking for a correction. “While you are entitled to your own opinion,” Delvey wrote, “you should at least get your facts straight. I have served my sentence and paid everyone back in full, over 3 years ago. I look forward to your correction on the radio.”

In a statement to the New York Post Delvey amended that message at the time by adding: “Stay naughty ladies…”
