Anna Delvey is shrugging off her short-lived stint on US Dancing With the Stars.

After the “fake heiress” was eliminated in the most recent episode of the show — alongside pro partner Ezra Sosa, as well as Tori Spelling and Pasha Pashkov — co-host Julianne Hough asked Delvey what she would “take away from the competition.”

In the final seconds of the live show, the 33-year-old savagely replied, “Nothing.”

Sosa, 23, appeared surprised by his partner’s response but smiled as Hough exclaimed, “There you have it!”

Co-host Alfonso Ribeiro then chimed in, saying, “She’s not taking anything away? You had fun. Stop it.”

Social media users reacted to Delvey’s savage, single-word response via X, calling it an “incredible” moment.

“The absolute panic to when Julianne and Alfonso had to react to Anna Delvey saying she was taking NOTHING from the show,” one fan wrote, with another highlighting Hough’s “nervous laughter.”

A third added, “omg them trying to play it off like ‘NAH YOU HAD FUN HAHAHA’ I couldn’t stop laughing.”

While some labelled her “devotion to cattiness … amusing,” others slammed her as a “disrespectful and ungrateful” contestant.

“I feel badly for her partner,” one wrote of Sosa. “He deserved so much better.”

Ever since the duo were revealed as partners on September 4, Sosa has been supporting Delvey — who has been on house arrest since 2022 after serving nearly four years behind bars for theft-related charges — amid the backlash.

“They finally found her in the bathroom and she was crying,” he tearfully said in a TikTok video following last week’s Season 33 premiere. “It really did break my heart.”

The criticism has continued, with former DWTS pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy telling TMZ Podcast listeners that Delvey was a “sh***y dancer.”

The fashion publicist performed a cha-cha during the September 17 premiere with a bedazzled ankle monitor.

“We collaborated with the costume department,” she exclusively told Page Six at the time. “Obviously, we could not leave the ankle bracelet naked, so we decided to match it [to my dress].”
