Anna Sorokin: Jailhouse Reality Star Sparks Outrage and Intrigue

Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Drama still swirls around Anna Sorokin, aka Anna Delvey, whose name remains indelibly linked to deception and reinvention. The biggest update in the past few days is her release from federal jail on a ten-thousand-dollar bail bond after a protracted stint in ICE detention for overstaying her visa since being picked up in March 2021. Bloomberg reported she's now under strict 24-hour home confinement with electronic monitoring and is barred from accessing social media. Her defense attorney, Duncan Levin, called the release a recognition by the court that Anna does not pose a danger to society. Her movements, however, remain tightly controlled as immigration matters are still unresolved, with her fate in the United States far from certain, a point highlighted by Variety and other major outlets.

Despite ongoing legal woes, Sorokin is making headlines for pivoting back into the public eye through high-profile business ventures. The past few days were abuzz with news that she will host Delvey’s Dinner Club, a reality TV project filming out of her East Village apartment during her house arrest. According to Deadline and ET Canada, the unscripted series will feature Sorokin dining with actors, musicians, journalists, and socialites, engaging in candid conversations about her infamous criminal past, her efforts to rehabilitate her reputation, and the loneliness of house arrest. The series is backed by production powerhouses Wheelhouse and Butternut—founded by TV veterans Courtney White and Brent Montgomery—signaling strong industry interest despite the controversy.

Criticism remains fierce. Whoopi Goldberg blasted the decision to involve Sorokin in entertainment projects like Delvey's Dinner Club and allegedly Dancing With the Stars, questioning on The View whether granting someone with a criminal record such visibility sends the wrong message while so many families suffer the consequences of immigration enforcement. On social media, posts and reels recirculating the story of her masquerade as a German heiress litter Instagram, with many reminding followers that despite her artful performances in Manhattan’s elite, she was never the heiress she claimed to be.

Amidst this whirlwind, Anna's presence even touched the art world—Office Magazine revealed she contributed an original artwork from behind bars to The Untitled Space’s REBEL exhibition, cementing her position as a pop culture antihero and an icon for rebellious self-reinvention. This layered public exposure may play a long game in shaping her post-criminal persona, keeping her infamous story—and questions about privilege, morality, and celebrity—front and center in the headlines.
