Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors
Anna Delvey may be taking “nothing” away from her experience on Dancing with the Stars, but her dance partner and choreographer, Ezra Sosa, is keeping a piece of her with him permanently — in the form of a tattoo.
Sosa, 23, revealed on TikTok that he’s decorated his upper back with a delicate cursive “nothing” and the number 33, in honor of his first season as a dance partner on Dancing with the Stars.
Delvey, 33, along with fellow contestant Tori Spelling, were the first to be eliminated from the competition series, and when host Julianne Hough asked Delvey what she would take away from the experience, she responded by simply saying, “Nothing.”

“I’m such an idiot,” Sosa joked in the TikTok caption. The dance pro mouthed along to the now-viral audio in which the fake heiress delivered her infamous answer, and he smiled cheekily at the camera as he delivered Julianne Hough’s response. “There you have it, absolutely nothing.”
Some viewers, as well as judge Carrie Ann Inaba, criticized Delvey for her curt response after being eliminated on DWTS.
“I was taken aback by her comment when asked what she learned from being on the show, and she flatly said, ‘Nothing,'” Inaba told Entertainment Weekly. “That was dismissive not only of the opportunity she was given, of her wonderful and supportive partner Ezra in his debut season, but also of all of us who work on the show — from the dancers to behind the scenes to the creative team.”
Delvey doubled down on her statement when speaking to fellow contestant Tori Spelling, 51, on Spelling’s podcast. “You guys told me what I’m supposed to do. I tried to do it, and then I still was rejected,” Delvey told Spelling. “Your advice was worthless.”
It seems Sosa and Delvey are still in touch, as she commented another one-word response on the TikTok. “Exactly,” she wrote, in a comment that has received more than 70 thousand likes.
