Anna Delvey's Bunny Blunder: Backlash, Death Threats, and Her Next Act

Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Anna Sorokin, known best as Anna Delvey from Netflix’s Inventing Anna, has once again landed at the center of New York scandal headlines this week after a bizarre bunny abandonment controversy hit social media and major news outlets. According to NBC News and The National Digest, Sorokin has faced a storm of backlash and hundreds of death threats after three rabbits she posed with for a Tribeca Instagram photo shoot were later discovered abandoned in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. Animal rescue advocates and online detectives quickly linked the abandoned animals to her now-viral Instagram images, sparking a wave of online outrage and relentless, vitriolic messages flooding her inbox—a situation Sorokin insists was a misunderstanding. She claims she had arranged for a 19-year-old acquaintance to return the rabbits to their owner in Yonkers after the shoot, but Uber receipts show the drop-off was near Prospect Park, where the rabbits were left. Sorokin adamantly denies responsibility, telling NBC that “everything I do is just wrong” and maintaining that she “had the best intentions.” With more than a million followers on Instagram, the reaction has been swift and brutal, including calls for self-harm and grotesque threats, which Sorokin publicly shared as evidence of the intensity and cruelty she faces. She’s since donated a thousand dollars to All About Rabbits Rescue and defended the use of leashes during the shoot, stressing she’s no “bunny professional,” but insists the animals seemed happy at the time.

This animal scandal arrives at a crucial moment for her, while she’s still under house arrest in Manhattan amid ongoing deportation proceedings after her grand larceny conviction. Her movements remain tightly restricted and she’s openly worried this incident could negatively impact her immigration battle. The saga lands as Sorokin promotes her next act—the unscripted series Delvey’s Dinner Club, produced by Butternut, which is set to be filmed inside her East Village apartment and pitched as a mix of intimate dinner parties with esteemed guests and reflections on her notorious past. According to IMDB and ET Canada, the show will chronicle her life under house arrest and her attempts at image rehabilitation. In a candid interview with OK Magazine, Sorokin has expressed deep regret over her crimes, underlining that she’s learned hard lessons, paid restitution in full, and is determined to move forward despite relentless judgment. She’s also commented on the Netflix portrayal, clarifying the series was more fiction than biography and making light of Shonda Rhimes’ dramatized interpretation. On the music front, Sorokin has used her house arrest to drop a new song, “What the Hell,” as AOL reports, further fueling her strange journey through infamy, notoriety, and now, media entrepreneurship. With every new headline, the question lingers: can Anna Sorokin ever escape her reputation as the ultimate New York anti-heroine, or is scandal now built into her brand?
