Ezra Sosa, Anna Delvey’s ‘DWTS’ partner, reveals new tattoo after her famous exit comment
Ezra Sosa, who partnered with Anna Delvey on “Dancing with the Stars,” did something significant.
As a newcomer to Season 33 of the ABC dance competition, Sosa has tattooed Delvey’s now-famous “nothing” words on his back. He shared on Instagram that this tattoo symbolizes his first season as a pro dancer on “DWTS.”
“There’s been a lot to reflect on, but much more good than I anticipated. It wasn’t an easy journey,” Sosa mentioned on Instagram on Thursday. “The highs were truly amazing, but the lows presented challenges I wasn’t ready for. While there might be better ways to process everything, this tattoo felt like the right choice.”
On the show’s episode aired on September 24, co-host Julianne Hough asked Delvey what she learned from her time on “DWTS” after she and actress Tori Spelling were eliminated together.
Delvey simply answered, “Nothing.”
This moment quickly went viral, and Hough later described the comment as “iconic” in her post on Instagram the following day.
Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, joined Season 33 of “DWTS” after being accused of deceiving people to support her extravagant lifestyle and business endeavors, reportedly stealing $275,000 from hotels, financial institutions, and wealthy individuals. She was convicted of grand larceny in 2019 and served just over three years of her four- to 12-year sentence. Her life inspired the popular Netflix series “Inventing Anna.”
Throughout the competition, Delvey and Sosa faced public backlash regarding her casting. But Sosa emphasized that it is essential to acknowledge his experiences rather than ignore them. He wrote on Instagram, “It’s about reclaiming control over my narrative.”
“This tattoo serves as a personal reminder that I have the power to shape my life moving forward, even if I can’t alter my past. It’s about embracing every facet of my journey and progressing with a clear perspective, knowing this is my story, dictated by me,” he further elaborated.
Sosa also included screenshots of text exchanges with Delvey, where she gave her “kind of okay” approval for the tattoo.
In one screenshot, Sosa showed Delvey a photo of the tattoo, to which she reacted, “oh wow! Nice.” He then asked for her approval about the tattoo, and she jokingly responded, “too late not to lol.”
Finally, when he inquired if she liked it, Delvey replied, “I do.”
