On September 16, Alyssa Farah Griffin commented before the episode concluded, casting doubt on any change in Delvey’s behavior, and suggesting that "con artists tend to remain con artists." This followed a broadcast on September 5, where the show's hosts expressed their dissatisfaction with the reality competition's decision to cast Delvey, highlighting her criminal charges and lack of apparent remorse.
Griffin addressed objections from Delvey’s attorney regarding a claim that she still owed money to her victims. Delvey’s attorney produced evidence, including a letter from the Office of Victim Services, confirming that all victims had been compensated and that Delvey had fully paid her restitution.
In response, Levin expressed gratitude for the retraction of "The View's" earlier remarks. He emphasized that while Delvey acknowledges her past mistakes, she has made amends by serving her sentence and repaying her debts. Levin asserts that Delvey deserves another chance.
Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, was arrested in 2017 for defrauding wealthy individuals, banks, and hotels by posing as a wealthy German heiress. In 2019, she faced charges of theft of services and grand larceny. She settled the court order with the $320,000 she received from Netflix for the rights to her story, which was adapted into the 2022 TV show "Inventing Anna."
