From Fake Heiress to Reality TV Star: Anna Sorokin's Unscripted Saga Continues

Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Anna Sorokin—the infamous “fake heiress” whose scams inspired the Netflix drama Inventing Anna—has remained a fixture of New York’s social and media scene despite her legal troubles. In the past few days, Sorokin’s already headline-dense life has added fresh controversy, pop culture flare, and reality television intrigue. While some developments are recent, others build on ongoing legal and media battles that continue to define her public persona.In the realm of unscripted TV, Sorokin has confirmed she is shooting a new reality series, Delvey’s Dinner Club, from her East Village apartment, where she remains under house arrest while her U.S. immigration case is unresolved, according to press releases from Wheelhouse and Butternut as reported by Popsugar and ET Canada. The show promises intimate dinner parties with actors, musicians, journalists, and thought leaders—talking criminal justice, image rehabilitation, and her future—while also documenting her daily life in confinement. There’s no announced broadcaster yet, but the concept is generating buzz for blending personal reflection with reality TV spectacle.On the style front, Sorokin made waves at New York Fashion Week, walking in several shows—including one for SHAO—flaunting a head-turning sea foam green sequin skirt and sheer collared blouse, according to reporting by AOL and PEOPLE. She also modeled for Private Policy and Untitled & Co, embracing looks she described as “very Paris Hilton” and “early aughts.” Notably, she did all this while wearing her court-ordered ankle monitor, a detail she didn’t shy away from—telling PEOPLE, “The sea foam green goes well with my hair color,” and later laughing off the “fake heiress” label, which she insists she “hates.”Social media remains a battleground. After a period of court-ordered silence online—Page Six reports a judge had revoked restrictions—Sorokin has returned to posting, recently sparking backlash for critiquing Taylor Swift’s new album. Parade and AOL note that her sharp, unpopular takes on Swift’s career (including a tweet that asked if Swift was “the first person to catch CTE by proxy”) have drawn swift backlash from fans. Sorokin has positioned herself as unapologetically plugged into pop culture, sometimes responding directly to former Dancing With the Stars partner Ezra Sosa after he threw shade her way.Her participation in Dancing With the Stars earlier this year remains a flashpoint. ABC’s official casting described her as “an artist, fashion icon and infamous NYC socialite,” but AOL reports the show—and Whoopi Goldberg—faced backlash for featuring a convicted con artist. Sorokin herself told PEOPLE she had ICE’s permission to compete, bringing her house arrest into the national spotlight once again.Recent reports from AOL suggest Sorokin quietly won a major legal victory last month—being released from house arrest—but this has not been confirmed by court filings or mainstream outlets, so treat this as speculative until further verification. She is still free to travel within a 75-mile radius of New York City, so she’s been spotted at movie premieres and fashion shows, per AOL, but her long-term status in the U.S. remains in limbo.In summary: Anna Sorokin is leveraging her notoriety into a budding reality TV career, remains a polarizing fashion and social media figure, and continues to navigate the legal and public relations fallout from her criminal past. Her every move—from a catwalk strut to a Twitter rant—generates headlines, ensuring her story is far from over.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
