Kelly Cutrone is in Anna Delvey’s corner after her “Dancing With the Stars” exit.
The publicist exclusively told Page Six that haters need to let Delvey, 33, “f–king be” after her response to being eliminated from the ABC show went viral.
On Tuesday night, co-host Julianne Hough asked the “fake heiress,” 33, what she would “take away” from her time on the series — to which Delvey replied, “Nothing.”
Cutrone, 58, praised the “genius” response on Wednesday, clarifying that Delvey was not being “rude.”
She explained, “Everybody wants everything with a perfect little bow, but that’s not who she is. She’s a different type of personality.
“Society has to stop bullying people who don’t have the personality they want people to have,” Cutrone continued. “It was not her thing. She tried it. She answered.”
The former “America’s Next Top Model” judge joked about Delvey releasing “Nothing” T-shirts after headlines.
She also addressed Delvey’s interview with Us Weekly earlier this month in which she said the Mirrorball trophy would end up in “storage” if she and partner Ezra Sosa won the competition.
“Half of her stuff is in boxes,” Cutrone noted. “It’s not, like, disrespect to the Mirrorball. It’s a practical answer.”
She dubbed the recent backlash “bullying” and a “whole lot of hoopla for nothing.”
Cutrone also called Delvey “honest and iconic” via Instagram Stories Tuesday — and Sosa, 23, said the same while speaking to “ExtraTV.”
Page Six broke the news in August that Delvey — whose real name is Anna Sorokin — was joining “DWTS,” with Sosa announced as her professional partner the following month.
Cutrone attended the premiere on Sept. 17, and Julia Fox — who is close with both women — recently joined Delvey and Sosa at rehearsal.
The duo took the stage for a cha-cha and a quickstep before their time on Season 33 came to a close, and Delvey bedazzled her ankle monitor for both performances.
“We collaborated with the costume department,” Delvey, who has been under house arrest since 2022, exclusively told Page Six last week. “We could not leave the ankle bracelet naked, so we decided to match it [to my dress].”
While Cutrone could not speak to whether Delvey will attend the finale in November, eliminated contestants have all returned to the stage in previous seasons.
