  • Anna Delvey: Bunnies, Backlash, and Blurred Lines of Reality

    Anna Delvey: Bunnies, Backlash, and Blurred Lines of Reality
    Nov 19 2025
    Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    According to NBC News and AOL in one of the more bizarre turns for my reputation this week I became the headline after being accused of abandoning three pet rabbits in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park following a photo shoot in Tribeca. The social media backlash was immediate and fierce—hundreds of death threats, my Instagram inbox flooded with messages people telling me to disappear or worse. After sharing the hateful messages to my Instagram story to show my followers what I was dealing with some users even called for legal charges. All of this over bunnies that were, in fact, not even mine. I’d borrowed the rabbits for the shoot after asking my followers if anyone had a bunny for a quick influencer moment in Manhattan. The person who supplied them, a 19-year-old named Christian Batty, later admitted on his own Instagram that he panicked and dumped the rabbits in the park, absolving me of involvement after much public confusion and after my own receipts and texts were posted. I donated a thousand dollars to All About Rabbits Rescue in the aftermath and made it clear I was not responsible for what happened after that photo op.

    The New York Times noted that the rabbits were eventually rescued by a local blogger, thank goodness. I addressed concerns that this could affect my ongoing immigration battle; deportation risks have hovered over me, but I maintained I did nothing wrong and felt targeted by animal activists and trolls, especially as I am still under house arrest and unable to leave New York’s 75-mile radius due to immigration court restrictions. As of now, my Instagram, with its million-plus followers, is still alive but bordering on unusable from all the traffic of hate.

    Meanwhile, even as my legal and personal drama unfolds, my public fascination factor continues. Headlines still invoke Inventing Anna, thanks to Julia Garner’s Emmy-winning turn as me in the Netflix miniseries. While Garner’s career surges and media revisit my story every time a new project of hers gets buzz, I myself am forging ahead on unscripted ventures like Delvey’s Dinner Club, a show filmed in my East Village apartment under house arrest, chronicling my attempts at image rehab and life under ongoing scrutiny, as IMDB and Variety have reported. Major business activities remain mostly tied to media and entertainment, rather than any finance or nightlife schemes reminiscent of my past.

    Despite every attempt to reclaim the narrative or move forward in business or society, my every public appearance, post, or event seems to be interpreted through a lens of scandal—witness the bunny saga—and online mentions daily range from pop culture fascination to moral outrage. There have been no court developments pointing toward imminent deportation this week, so my fate in the US remains as liminal as ever. According to Entrepreneur, rumors occasionally spark about me being shipped to Germany, but my legal team states I am still in New York awaiting the courts. For now, my public persona is found at this curious intersection of notoriety, media obsession, and the unpredictable churn of the internet rumor mill.

  • Anna Delvey's Viral Comeback: Dancing, Fashion, and Deportation Drama

    Anna Delvey's Viral Comeback: Dancing, Fashion, and Deportation Drama
    Nov 16 2025
    Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Anna Sorokin has dominated headlines all week with what can only be called a viral comeback blitz. Her return to public life began when a New York court finally granted her permission to rejoin social media after a multi-year ban stemming from her post-prison house arrest. Page Six and Telegrafi both buzzed about the decision, as did Sorokin herself, who re-launched her Instagram presence under her notorious Anna Delvey persona Friday night. That alone would have been enough for a multi-day news cycle given her previous digital exile. But Anna’s appetite for spectacle extended well beyond her phone screen.

    ABC announced Sorokin as a contestant for the 33rd season of Dancing With the Stars, triggering a fresh wave of controversy and snark. She is the first-ever participant required to dance while wearing an ankle monitor. Her pro partner Ezra Sosa accompanied her to the season’s LA tapings, a setup that reportedly required last-minute ICE approval. Social media was divided: the hashtag DWTSfelon briefly trended, with users debating whether a convicted fraudster deserved the primetime spotlight. JoJo Siwa publicly backed her, insisting, “That’s the drama we need!” but Variety profiles confirmed her inclusion brought a much younger audience to the veteran dance show, whose current season just notched historic ratings.

    There’s more. In typical Delvey style, Anna has been teasing a big New York Fashion Week play—both producing and walking in a runway show for designer SHAO, often seen at SoHo events with dance partner Sosa in tow. Rumors swirled that she’s coproducing as many as five Fashion Week events alongside PR heavyweight Kelly Cutrone. She has also hinted at launching her own label, with longer-term ambitions geared toward blending art and fashion. At the recent UPRISE 2025: The Art of Resistance summit, she told Us Weekly she’s now living in her own Manhattan apartment and working on a new art collection for release next spring, her first major project since the notorious sketches she sold from ICE house arrest.

    On the legal front, Sorokin’s deportation case is still pending, which AOL and Us Weekly warn could derail her business ventures at any time. Meanwhile, she batted down a bizarre accusation linking her to a luxury pet influencer scandal, posting a flat denial on Instagram. Her story’s constant churn continues to draw interest from business media, with new mentions in 99Signals’ list of “Best Scam Documentaries” and a round-up of celebrity scandals by Morning Brew. In summary, Anna Sorokin is rewriting her own legend—leveraging fame, infamy, and social media savvy into her most visible transformation yet, while the clock still ticks on her uncertain U.S. residency and every move could be her last in the spotlight.

  • Anna Sorokin's Viral Comeback: From Dancing with an Ankle Monitor to NYFW Headliner

    Anna Sorokin's Viral Comeback: From Dancing with an Ankle Monitor to NYFW Headliner
    Nov 12 2025
    Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Anna Sorokin is back on the cultural stage and, true to form, she’s making her return impossible to ignore. According to both Page Six and Telegrafi, a New York court has finally granted Sorokin permission to return to social media after years of forced silence following her release from house arrest in 2022. The comeback kicked off with a viral Instagram carousel of garden photos shot by Oliver Halfin and captioned simply Stockholm syndrome, signaling to her million-plus followers that the Anna Delvey era is far from over (as reported by People and AOL). The new freedom to post is not just symbolic—Sorokin has told People that regaining her voice online is a vital first step, thanking her legal team and stating she’s ready to share more news soon.

    But that’s just the beginning. Making a move that blends legal risk and tabloid spectacle, Anna Sorokin is now officially a contestant on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars Season 33—the first ever to dance with a court-mandated ankle monitor visibly strapped to her custom glamour looks, her pro partner Ezra Sosa by her side. ABC confirmed it was only a week before the cast reveal that she received ICE permission to leave her New York base and film in Los Angeles, as covered by Spreaker on November 9. Predictably, social media erupted with both mockery and support over having a convicted scammer become mainstream reality TV fodder, but there’s no denying it paid off: Variety and The New York Times report the show’s early numbers were the best for the franchise in years, largely thanks to Sorokin’s brief but viral appearance.

    Never content to sit back, Anna used the opportunity to tease her next act: headlining and producing a New York Fashion Week show for designer SHAO, both on the runway and behind the scenes, as well as coproducing multiple events with fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone. Us Weekly caught up with her at the UPRISE 2025: The Art of Resistance event, where she confirmed renting her own Manhattan apartment, a new start after months upstate, and revealed she’s at work on an art collection and plotting a fashion label—turning that infamy into influence one Instagram at a time.

    Of course, legal shadows persist. Her high-profile deportation case remains unresolved according to AOL and Us Weekly, so any TV or business deal could be upended at a moment’s notice. And while she recently had to jump on Instagram to squash a tabloid rumor linking her to an influencer bunny scandal, Sorokin seems unfazed, weaponizing headlines in her slow roll from disgraced con artist to polarizing pop brand—a transformation sure to keep both law reporters and gossip columnists on high alert for what Anna Delvey does next.

  • From Rikers to the Runway: Anna Sorokin's Viral Comeback Blitz

    From Rikers to the Runway: Anna Sorokin's Viral Comeback Blitz
    Nov 9 2025
    Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Anna Sorokin, infamous for her "Anna Delvey" persona and whose story inspired the Netflix hit Inventing Anna, has made major headlines in just the past few days. According to Page Six and Telegrafi, a New York court has finally granted her permission to return to social media, ending a long-standing mandate that kept her offline since her 2022 release from house arrest. Sorokin herself announced she would be back posting as Anna Delvey starting Friday evening, and her return has already sparked a frenzy on Instagram, not least because of her taste for provocative self-presentation and her unique brand of social commentary.

    But Sorokin’s comeback is bigger than just social media. ABC officially announced her as a contestant on the 33rd season of Dancing With the Stars, marking the first time the competition will feature someone dancing with an ankle monitor still strapped on. Her inclusion, with pro dancer Ezra Sosa as her partner, drew both snark and support across social channels, where posts like "Why are we having a convicted felon on a TV show?" trended briefly on Instagram. In media appearances, Sorokin explained she needed special approval from ICE to film in Los Angeles—permission that only came a week before the cast reveal. Never one to miss an opportunity, she also teased major plans for New York Fashion Week, including both producing and walking in a show for designer SHAO with her dance partner along for the ride, and claimed she is coproducing up to five events with fashion power player Kelly Cutrone.

    On the business and art side, Sorokin sat down with Us Weekly at the UPRISE 2025: The Art of Resistance event to confirm she’s finally scored her own Manhattan apartment after months living upstate, and that she’s already working on a new art collection—her first since producing sold-out sketches while under ICE house arrest. She says she’s channeling the freedom after house arrest into new pieces and possibly her own fashion label, hinting at longer-term ambitions in art and style. Sources like The New York Times have noted how Sorokin’s brief but viral Dancing With the Stars stint brought a new, younger audience to the franchise, and Variety reports the show drew record ratings for its current season.

    Sorokin’s deportation case is still pending, according to AOL and Us Weekly, meaning her U.S. residency hangs in the balance and any business move or media deal—like her rumored collaborations with fashion labels or further TV appearances—could be disrupted at any moment. There was a minor kerfuffle in animal news tabloid cycles over accusations she was tied to an influencer scandal involving luxury bunnies; Sorokin herself took to Instagram to deny all involvement. All told, Anna Sorokin is playing the pop culture long game, using every headline and hashtag as another step in the transformation from disgraced fraudster to fully-fledged, if still polarizing, media brand.

  • Anna Sorokin's Bunny Blunder: Fake Heiress Faces Backlash and Death Threats

    Anna Sorokin's Bunny Blunder: Fake Heiress Faces Backlash and Death Threats
    Nov 5 2025
    Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Anna Sorokin, best known as the "fake heiress" behind the Anna Delvey persona and the Netflix hit Inventing Anna, has dominated headlines yet again heading into November 2025. The most talked-about story erupted after a photoshoot in Tribeca, where she posed with three pet rabbits for Instagram. Days later, these same bunnies were spotted abandoned in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, sparking a tidal wave of social media outrage and headlines like Anna Sorokin Says She Received Hundreds of Death Threats Over Bunnies Abandoned in Brooklyn Park, as noted by NBC News and AOL. Sorokin adamantly denied any responsibility, claiming she paid a local acquaintance, Christian Batty, to return the rabbits to their owner. When Batty initially denied but later admitted to dumping the rabbits due to panic and inexperience, Sorokin released message screenshots and demanded accountability, saying Batty was “old enough to move to New York and live on his own, he should have enough common sense to handle rabbits.”

    With animal rescue forums posting about the abandoned bunnies and Sorokin’s Instagram filling with a wave of vitriolic hate messages—many calling for violence—the scandal quickly eclipsed her previous transgressions in the public imagination. She went so far as to show dozens of the most hateful messages she received, commenting that animal activism can turn disturbingly personal. Seeking damage control, she donated $1,000 to All About Rabbits Rescue and insisted no harm was intended during the photoshoot, stating, “We would put them down for, I don’t know, a minute or two, take a picture and pick them up... And they seemed to be happy,” while admitting she’s not a “bunny professional.” The New York Times confirmed the rabbits were swiftly rescued by a local blogger.

    Amid this public furor, Sorokin remains under house arrest with her immigration case unresolved, restricted by an ankle monitor and unable to travel beyond her New York apartment’s 75-mile radius. Despite these constraints, she’s been newly allowed to return to social media, with Page Six reporting that a court reversed earlier restrictions, restoring her digital presence just as the scandal peaked.

    On the business and entertainment front, Anna Delvey’s name surfaced in connection with new art collaborations and ongoing efforts to leverage her brand—ambitions she claims are hindered by legal and physical limitations. Meanwhile, her inclusion in discussions of controversial “Dancing With the Stars” casting, as reported by TV Insider and Just Jared, generated more buzz, demonstrating her continued polarizing power in pop culture. For fans and critics alike, every move Anna Sorokin makes is headline fodder, with personal drama and career ambitions constantly colliding in the public eye. No other major verified news about Sorokin appeared this week, though speculation about further business ventures and legal twists continues to swirl across social channels and entertainment media.

  • Anna Delvey's Comeback: From Fake Heiress to Reality Star and Rebel Artist

    Anna Delvey's Comeback: From Fake Heiress to Reality Star and Rebel Artist
    Nov 2 2025
    Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Anna Sorokin, now permitted to return to social media after a long court battle according to Page Six, re-entered the digital conversation Friday evening, sparking significant buzz about what she will share and how she will leverage her restored online presence. Sorokin, widely known by her alias Anna Delvey, continues to captivate public attention as the notorious “fake heiress” whose story was dramatized in the hit Netflix miniseries Inventing Anna. After being released from prison and placed under ICE house arrest, complete with an ankle monitor, Sorokin’s legal team argued the social media ban violated her constitutional rights, provoking heated debate among legal pundits and culture commentators.

    Major headlines this week include Sorokin's upcoming appearance as a contestant on the 33rd season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, revealed by ABC in early September and confirmed to be airing September 17. She will perform while sporting her ankle monitor, a symbolic badge of both her notoriety and ongoing legal drama. According to Extra and ABC press, Sorokin had to seek special permission from ICE just to film in Los Angeles, and everything came together at the last minute. She’s been paired with professional dancer Ezra Sosa, whom she’s already planning to take to New York Fashion Week. In her own words, she’s producing several runway shows with fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone this season; last year’s fashion show on her own rooftop marked the beginning of her foray into event production. Social media responses have been overwhelmingly polarizing, with critics denouncing ABC for “glamorizing criminals” and others lamenting the “celebrification” of a convicted fraudster.

    Meanwhile, Sorokin’s art career continues to spark intrigue and skepticism. Office Magazine reports her participation in The REBEL exhibition, where she debuted original work reflecting her experiences in jail and ICE detention, a self-deprecating commentary on her saga and the broader American culture of incarceration. The show positions Delvey as a new kind of “rebel” artist, fighting for authenticity and prison reform awareness, though the actual quality of her artwork remains the subject of debate among curators.

    On social media, Sorokin is once again active, her Instagram already populated with glamorous behind-the-scenes looks tied to her reality TV comeback and fashion industry collaborations. Delvey has teased a new collection of art and hinted at fashion brand partnerships, saying she looks forward to experimenting with new materials and styles once “free.” Speculation persists that her renewed freedom could increase her influence in New York’s art and party scene, though no major business deals have been officially confirmed.

    Amid the resurgence of her public image, her former friend Rachel DeLoache Williams continues seeking legal redress, recently suing Netflix for defamation related to the portrayal in Inventing Anna. Sorokin herself, however, seems dedicated to her transformation from infamous fraudster to controversial cultural figure—blurring the lines between criminal infamy, artistic reinvention, and celebrity spectacle.

  • Anna Sorokin: From Fake Heiress to Viral Villain - The Enduring Allure of an Infamous Icon

    Anna Sorokin: From Fake Heiress to Viral Villain - The Enduring Allure of an Infamous Icon
    Oct 29 2025
    Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Anna Sorokin, also known to the world as Anna Delvey, continues to prove she’s a headline magnet. According to AOL News, Sorokin is still in US immigration custody, despite recent internet rumors suggesting she was facing imminent deportation. This clarity, straight from her lawyer, effectively killed speculation that she might soon exit the very stage where she’s built her post-conviction infamy. While still under house arrest, Sorokin hasn’t missed a beat in stoking her own mythos. In a recent exclusive with Forbes, she described turning her situation into content by launching a new dinner party series from her Manhattan apartment. These invite-only gatherings, attended by influencers, artists, and select media, are said to blend art, entrepreneurship, and her signature brand of drama, with Sorokin herself acting as both host and provocateur.

    That sense of performative spectacle tracks with her much-discussed pivot from fake heiress to emerging artist. UP Magazine reports her “Allegedly” collection—sketches and visual journal entries she created while detained—remains popular in the art-news cycle. Sorokin has announced she’s working on new pieces and talked up deals in the works with fashion brands for collaborative projects, although those relationships appear to still be in negotiation and are not yet finalized, leaving some of the buzz in the realm of unconfirmed possibility. The media, for its part, remains fixated: Rolling Stone even called her show ‘the death of culture.’

    Then there’s the dancefloor drama: Anna Sorokin’s surprising casting on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ turned heads across social media and reality TV commentary. According to CBS News and Breakfast Television, public reaction swung from fascination to outrage, debating whether her notoriety should translate to mainstream entertainment. After her recent elimination, Sorokin made a typically pointed comment—IMDB noted it was, in her words, “more of a choreography critique than a loss for the culture,” instantly spawning memes and snarky Twitter commentary.

    ABC’s 20/20 pushed out another fresh “Sinfluencer of Soho” feature, revisiting her saga with new interviews and scrutinizing her embrace of anti-hero status. The segment is trending both for its deep dive into her ongoing legal strategy and for platforming Sorokin as a cultural indicator: is she exploiting her own infamy, or is the public simply complicit in her carefully constructed spectacle?

    Business-wise, the only confirmed development is Sorokin continuing to market her art and personal brand from legal limbo. Forbes reports that she’s vocal about turning her pen-and-paper hustle into a profitable business model and teasing exclusives to her most loyal Instagram followers, where she posts wry, self-aware updates. The fashion partnerships and any suggestion of an early ICE release remain speculative until confirmed by official statements or filings. For now, Anna Sorokin is once again a trending headline, still in custody, still drawing both scorn and fascination, and—true to form—still making sure the world is watching.

  • Anna Sorokin: From Soho Grifter to Reality TV Star | Controversy, Commerce, and Survival

    Anna Sorokin: From Soho Grifter to Reality TV Star | Controversy, Commerce, and Survival
    Oct 29 2025
    Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Anna Sorokin has been back in the headlines this past week, and not just because her infamy as the so-called Soho grifter persists. The biggest splash came with her unexpected slot on Dancing With the Stars, a move both controversial and undeniably headline-grabbing. Breakfast Television called her participation “controversial,” with some pundits questioning whether offering such a platform to a convicted fraudster signifies our collective embrace of spectacle over substance. At the same time, her appearance has revitalized debates about celebrity redemption and the ever-blurring line between notoriety and fame. Forbes recently caught up with Anna, who remains on house arrest and is reportedly still in the custody of US immigration authorities, as confirmed by her legal team this week. During the interview, Anna showcased her knack for self-invention, touting a new dinner party series featuring curated guest lists and themed discussions from her apartment—which, given her circumstances, she now refers to as her “social experiment in constrained hospitality.”

    On the business front, Anna claims she’s closing in on new art collaborations with several fashion brands, hoping her pending legal situation will allow her freedom to experiment beyond pen sketches and prison socks. Her last major show “Allegedly” at New York’s Public Hotel garnered media reviews ranging from Rolling Stone’s “the death of culture” to lighter thinkpieces dissecting her faceless motifs and irreverent quotations. The batch of pieces—created in ICE detention and tinged by irony—are now rumored as material for a forthcoming digital collection and possible merchandise drops. As reported by Panoply in their audio biography series and echoed across gossip columns, Sorokin seems intent on spoon-feeding the media “thinkpiece fodder,” resisting earnestness, and leaning into her post-ironic persona.

    Social media continues to buzz about her, with fans and detractors battling in comment sections, meme pages retooling her quotes, and fashion influencers speculating about her rumored “Delvey Crimes” pop-up in Brooklyn next month. TV is also circling her story: ABC’s 20/20 re-broadcasted its Sinfluencer of Soho episode last Friday and CBS News confirmed she will headline a new unscripted reality series tracking life under house arrest. Sources say filming has already started, and Anna herself has teased “a level of authenticity TV never dared.” While much of her future remains shadowed by legal uncertainty and speculation, one thing is clear—Anna Sorokin has turned survival into spectacle and controversy into commerce, and this past week she’s doubled down on her role as society’s favorite real fake.
