Anna Sorokin: Rabbit Scandal, Redemption, and Reclaiming Her Voice

Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Anna Sorokin who recast herself as Anna Delvey the notorious fake heiress has dominated headlines again in the past week not for art parties or courtroom drama but for an animal scandal that set New York buzzing. According to NBC News and widely repeated by People and the New York Times Sorokin became the center of a social media firestorm after three rabbits she was seen posing with in a Tribeca photo shoot resurfaced abandoned in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. The animal rescue community responded with outrage as screenshots of angry messages and even death threats filled Sorokin’s revived Instagram, making this arguably the biggest flashpoint around her since her grand larceny conviction. Sorokin insists she is not to blame stating the rabbits were borrowed from a 19-year-old hairstylist for the shoot and she even covered his Uber fare to return them to their owner in Yonkers. According to Newser, it was the hairstylist who admitted abandoning the animals claiming he panicked due to being unable to keep pets at home. The rabbits were quickly rescued by volunteers and placed in foster homes. Sorokin, amid widespread vitriol, posted evidence of the backlash on Instagram and donated a thousand dollars to a rabbit rescue in what looks like a bid for rehabilitation and perhaps public absolution.

At the same time Anna Sorokin has reclaimed her social media voice after a long ICE-imposed hiatus. People magazine broke the story that on August 16th Sorokin relaunched her Instagram with a garden photo shoot captioned Stockholm syndrome and hinted at a new era of openness and engagement. She thanked Judge Conroy and her legal team for restoring her social media under First Amendment arguments and directly addressed her one million-plus followers promising to be much more visible and active going forward. She also gave a nod to The Anonymous a USA Network reality show about deception in which she plans to take a visible supportive role.

Adding further to her current biographical significance Anna spoke to Variety and OK Magazine in separate interviews making a rare admission of deep regret over her scams and the pain she caused emphasizing her intention to move forward without deluding herself over her public image. She confirmed she paid back all restitution and legal fees highlighted her refusal to rely on public funds and distanced herself from the more sensational fictionalized sides of her persona as shown in Inventing Anna. Sorokin even weighed in on the Netflix series acknowledging Julia Garner’s portrayal but stressing it did not capture her true reality or motivations.

In summary Anna Sorokin is everywhere—at the crossroads of scandal and contrition fighting to control her narrative and never straying too far from the limelight.
