Dancing with The Stars host Julianne Hough threw shade at Anna Delvey during the show’s Season 33 finale on Tuesday.
The convicted con artist, 33, and her ankle monitor returned to the ballroom with her partner Ezra Sosa after being the first to be eliminated from the dance competition.
The duo danced alongside Tori Spelling and Pasha Pashkov to Whitney Houston’s hit “I Have Nothing,” a nod to Anna’s departing comment after her elimination, when she said she took “nothing” away from her time on the show.
Delvey was carried onto the stage as he belted out the words to the famous song.
After the performance, Julianne made fun of Anna as she looked straight into the camera and said, “You know, I have nothing.”
Anna smiled awkwardly in response to the jab, while her partner wiggled his finger teasingly.

The fashionista and entrepreneur, who was convicted of grand theft after posing as an heiress and whose life was portrayed in the Netflix show Inventing Anna, previously went viral for her one-word response to her elimination in September.
She was eliminated from season 33 during the Oscars Night episode, along with Spelling, 51.
“And Anna, what are you going to take away from this competition,” Hough asked Delvey at the time.
“Nothing,” Delvey said with a small laugh.
‘There you have it. Absolutely nothing,” Hough said.
‘You had fun. Stop it. Stop it,” host Alfonso Ribeiro, 53, said playfully.
“Yes, that’s right,” Hough told her.
Earlier in her elimination episode, Delvey told Sosa that she was initially “happy” after their first dance, but felt “upset” after reading critical comments about her online.
‘I’m used to people thinking negatively about me. I get upset for a moment, but then I just move on,” Delvey said in a confessional.
Delvey received a score of 17 for her Quickstep from the judges who urged her to bring more energy to her dancing, which she again did while wearing an ankle monitor.

Delvey was convicted of eight felonies, including grand theft, in 2019 and was released from prison in 2021.
She has fought against deportation to Germany and a judge allowed her to wear an ankle monitor as a condition of appearing on season 33 of DWTS.
Dancing With the Stars ended its 33rd season with a super-sized three-hour finale.
Fans were stunned last week when none of the top five contestants – Chandler Kinney, Ilona Maher, Danny Amendola, Joey Graziadei and Stephen Nedoroscik – were eliminated.
The finale will also feature special appearances from Mark Ballas and Derek Hough, along with the stars’ final appearances.
Delvey later spoke with Spelling during an episode of her podcast SPELLING that this is how she responded to her elimination: “Because that was the truth.”
“You told me what to do. I tried and was still rejected. And I’m not taking anything away,” Delvey said.
“I take this away, because your advice was worthless.”
Sosa eventually called her reaction “iconic” and later had it tattooed on his upper back

Anna spent years posing as a wealthy heiress while defrauding a series of banks, hotels and individuals out of $275,000 (seen at her trial)
Then she doubled down: “I really didn’t take much away from this experience.”
“I think I had to get defensive, especially after all the backlash I got when I was cast on the show, even though the producers [tried] to defend me.’
“And I think overall, everyone in the cast was very nice to me. But ultimately I don’t know.’
