    Anna Delvey has demanded an apology from ABC’s “The View,” claiming co-host Whoopi Goldberg got a key fact about her case wrong.

    On Thursday, the hosts of the long-running talk show laid into Delvey and their own network for casting the convicted con artist — who posed as an heiress to bilk businesses and individuals out of more than $250,000 — on reality contest “Dancing With the Stars.”

    Amid the lambasting, Goldberg said, “She still owes people money. I don’t understand why she gets to stay [in the US]!”

    But Delvey addressed the hosts in a statement to Page Six Friday, writing:

    “While you are entitled to your own opinions, you should at least get your facts straight. I served my time and paid everyone back in full three-plus years ago. Looking forward to your on-air correction. Stay nasty ladies, but don’t forget to vote Sept. 17!”

    (That’s the date when fans can vote for her first performance on the ballroom competition show.)

    To all of you who don't like Whoopi, well, this time, she has nothing to apologize for, and I wouldn't if anything she should be apologizing to the people that she ripped off, just because you think that you may have paid for your crimes doesn't erase the fact that you are a convicted criminal and if anybody who research you will see that you are a convicted criminal. I think you should just keep your mouth shut and try not to bring too much attention to you. Because it's not going away👺
