Why Julianne Hough Gave Eric Roberts The ‘Anna Delvey’ Label
Reality TV lovers may enjoy watching swift choreography on Dancing With the Stars, but things aren’t always peachy behind the scenes. DWTS comes with its own level of drama beyond stage performances. Julianne Hough has been a cohost on DWTS since Season 32 of the show. Before landing the coveted gig, she actually took home the DWTS trophy at the end of Season 4 back in 2007. Most recently, it looks like Julianne offended another ex-contestant named Eric Roberts. These are the details of their drama.
Julian Hough And Eric Roberts Aren’t Getting Along
Julianne spoke with Eric after his elimination from DWTS. Since he didn’t have much say in response to any of her questions, she compared him to none other than Anna Delvey. As a reminder, after Anna was eliminated from the show, she made the claim that she took “nothing” away from the competition whatsoever. From Anna‘s perspective, starring on DWTS had no real impact on her life.
Julianne must’ve gotten that same energy from Eric based on the comparison she drew. Her words didn’t go over lightly with the actor, though. Eric told Us Weekly, “That really hurt my feelings. It really hurt my feelings. I was devastated at how badly I danced, and I was speechless. To be compared to somebody I don’t really know made me feel funny, but I’m fine.”
Dancing With the Stars might not have worked out well for Eric, but that doesn’t mean he’s not totally wrapped up in the entertainment industry still. The 68-year-old star has filmed other recent projects including Lumina, The Firing Squad, Megaloden: The Frenzy, and Babylon in recent years. Eric might not personally know Anna either, but that doesn’t mean Anna isn’t also moving in the right direction career-wise.
Actor Eric Roberts Doesn’t Want The ‘Anna Delvey’ Label
Eric took it as an insult to be compared to Anna since she’s a well-known con artist who swindled tons of upper-class New Yorkers out of their money. Slowly but surely, Anna has been doing her best to repair her image with a total rebrand.
Her participation on Dancing With the Stars with supposed to be a step in the right direction for her reputation. However, she claims that her time on the show wasn’t fulfilling in the slightest.

However, her presence on social media is now thriving more than ever after her stint on DWTS. That’s certainly a benefit for the former convict. With 1.1 million followers on Instagram alone, it’s safe to say Anna’s finally in a position to receive tons of high-paying brand deals in exchange for sponsored posts whenever the opportunities arise.
Do you think it was fair for Julianne to compare Eric to Anna? Do you think he was right to be offended? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
