Ezra Sosa gets 'nothing' tattoo after Anna Delvey's infamous “Dancing With the Stars” exit line
The dance pro declared himself "such an idiot" for immortalizing his partner's parting words on his body.
Anna Delvey's memorable parting line from Dancing With the Stars is now immortalized on her dance partner's body.
Dance pro Ezra Sosa got the word "nothing" tattooed on his back in homage to the socialite scammer following their recent elimination from the competition series, he revealed in a TikTok video over the weekend. The clip of him showing off his new ink featured audio of the now-infamous moment between Delvey and host Julianne Hough, as well as a self-deprecating caption that said, "im such an idiot."
Following the episode 2 elimination, Hough asked Delvey what she would take away from the competition, to which Delvey bluntly replied, "Nothing."

Delvey doubled down on her viral comment during an appearance on fellow competitor Tori Spelling's podcast shortly after. "That was the truth," Delvey said. "You guys told me what I'm supposed to do. I tried to do it, and then I still was rejected. And, I'm taking away nothing. This is what I'm taking away from it, because your advice was worthless. The advice did not pay off for me, even though I tried to follow it."
At a recent reality TV party cohosted by PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly, Sosa called Delvey's elimination response "iconic," adding that he was "really happy" with her run on the show, no matter how short-lived. "With me being her partner on the show, I wanted her to show different sides of herself to America," he said, "but also I don't want her to ever change who she is, because I really think she's so brilliant."
The two remain pals. "We're texting every day," Sosa said. "Yes, we are. She's like, 'You have to come to New York!'"
Delvey is best known for posing as a German heiress to swindle thousands of dollars from banks, hotels, and many individuals. The subject of Inventing Anna, among other true-crime titles, Delvey was convicted in 2019 and released early from prison in 2021 on good behavior and put on house arrest. She famously sported an ankle monitor on DWTS.
Her casting on season 33 sparked backlash from viewers and even former dance pros, prompting Sosa to come to the defense of Delvey. "I know what she did was really controversial and not right and I can never justify that for her or for anyone in her life," Sosa said on social media following the premiere. But "no one deserves the amount of hate she’s getting right now," he said. "She deserves a second chance. She has stepped up to the plate."
