Kelly Cutrone defends Anna Delvey's 'brilliant' reaction to being eliminated from 'DWTS'

Kelly Cutrone stands by Anna Delvey after her exit from “Dancing With the Stars”.

The publicist exclusively told Page Six that haters should “leave the f*** alone” Delvey, 33, after her reaction to being fired from the ABC show went viral.

On Tuesday night, co-host Julianne Hough asked the 33-year-old “fake heiress” what she would “take away” from her time on the show – to which Delvey replied: “Nothing.”

Cutrone, 58, praised the “brilliant” response on Wednesday and made it clear that Delvey was not “rude.”

She explained: “Everyone wants everything with a perfect little bow, but that's not how she is. She has a different personality type.”

“Society needs to stop bullying people who don't have the personality it wants others to have,” Cutrone continued. “That wasn't her thing. She tried. She responded.”

The former “America's Next Top Model” judge joked that Delvey released T-shirts with the words “Nothing” printed on them after making headlines.

She also addressed Delvey's interview with Us Weekly earlier this month, in which she said the Mirrorball trophy would end up in “storage” if she and her partner Ezra Sosa won the competition.

“Half of their stuff is in boxes,” Cutrone noted. “That's no disrespect to Mirrorball. It's a practical response.”

She described the recent backlash as “bullying” and “a lot of fuss about nothing.”

Cutrone also called Delvey “honest and iconic” in Instagram Stories on Tuesday – and 23-year-old Sosa said the same thing in an interview with “ExtraTV.”

In August, Page Six broke the news that Delvey – whose real name is Anna Sorokin – would be joining “DWTS,” and the following month, Sosa was announced as her professional partner.

Cutrone attended the premiere on September 17, and Julia Fox – who is close friends with both women – recently attended rehearsals with Delvey and Sosa.

Before their time on Season 33 came to an end, the duo took the stage for a cha-cha and a quickstep, and Delvey shined with her ankle bracelet in both performances.

“We worked with the costume department,” Delvey, who has been under house arrest since 2022, told Page Six exclusively last week. “We couldn't leave the anklet bare, so we decided to match it (to my dress).”

While Cutrone could not comment on whether Delvey will be in the finale in November, all eliminated contestants have returned to the stage in previous seasons.
