Anna Sorokin's Social Media Comeback: Navigating Fame, Infamy, and the Real Fake Persona

Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Anna Sorokin made fresh headlines this week after a US court granted her permission to return to social media following years of restriction. After her 2019 conviction for defrauding New York’s elite by posing as “Anna Delvey,” Sorokin became infamous—her story fueled a relentless media cycle and inspired Netflix’s Inventing Anna. According to Page Six, the recent legal decision ends the internet ban that had kept her off major digital platforms as part of conditions imposed after her release from prison and during her immigration house arrest. Sorokin still reportedly wears an ankle monitor as ICE determines whether she may remain in the US or faces deportation to Germany, a process that appears ongoing according to statements by her attorney to local and national media this week. This restoration of her online voice represents a long-awaited chance for Sorokin to reconnect with her extensive public following and repurpose her controversial legacy in real time.

In a spectacle entirely characteristic of her complicated relationship with fame, Sorokin quickly found herself at the center of fresh social media controversy. Early social posts and comments after her return have drawn rapid media attention—notably, she was roasted online last week for a bold, unpopular take on Taylor Swift, with Parade reporting a viral backlash and a lively debate among Swifties and Delvey-watchers alike. Her renewed access to Instagram has triggered a surge of commentary. Some praise her savviness, while others remain critical, characterizing her posts as glib or tone-deaf, echoing Rolling Stone’s description of her recent New York art show as “the death of culture.”

The renewed public platform comes amid reports that Sorokin continues working on her art, teasing new collections and expressing hopes for physical freedom to expand creative efforts. Up Magazine reflects a kind of resigned fascination, noting Sorokin’s penchant for manipulating both the media and her audience, while she openly courts controversy and new commercial opportunities including possible fashion brand collaborations. At the same time, her legal limbo and polarizing persona linger as dominant themes across both mainstream and gossip press. In perhaps the most quintessentially Sorokin move, she even demanded a correction from The View after co-hosts misstated details of her criminal case.

The sum effect of this week’s developments is the cementing of Anna Sorokin as a perennial figure in the culture wars over celebrity, image, and authenticity. With her social media return, the next chapter is set to unfold in public view, promising still more headlines as she navigates art, notoriety, immigration, and her own performance as a “real fake.”
