![]() ![]() ![]() The culmination and the ultimate goal of her clandestine but skillful efforts are the Anna Delvey Foundation (ADF), which was to be, in her own words to Jessica Pressler, of New York Magazine, a “dynamic visual-arts center”, among other aspiring pursuits. Sorokin presents herself as a wealthy German heiress who lives in the lap of luxury and generously but frivolously spends money on friends, acquaintances, and even hotel staff she tips with hundred-dollar bills. The characters Val Baron ( James Cusati-Moyer) and Nora Radford ( Kate Burton) are an amalgam of these connections she makes. Beginning as a Purple Magazine intern in Paris, Sorokin eventually transferred to the magazine’s New York headquarters and befriended high-profile New Yorkers, including fashion designers and socialites. Born in Russia in 1991 and then moving to Germany as a child, the miniseries tracks the rise and fall of Sorokin in the ranks of New York social circles from her early to mid-twenties. Netflix veteran Julia Garner ( Ozark, Dirty John) stars as the title character, Anna Delvey (Sorokin). Sounds like Sorokin is about to have more inspiration for her courtroom art.Images via IMDb and Marie Claire Australia I don’t think this is necessarily true of Rachel Williams in real life I think this is true of the character Shonda wrote and what Shonda needed the character to be for the show.” She also said she had not met Williams personally. Katie Lowes, the actress who plays Williams in the series, told Vulture that her version of Williams is, “young, naïve, and had a privileged life. Why didn’t they do this for her, when they did for so many other characters in the Series? Perhaps the reason was that she had chosen to play for the other team, i.e., HBO.” Yes, the lawsuit claims that Netflix might have done Williams so dirty in the series because she sold her story rights to a competing company. “The devastating damage to her reputation could have been avoided if only Netflix had used a fictitious name and different details. “The reason why we have had to file this lawsuit is because Netflix used Rachel’s real name and biographical details, and made her out to be a horrible person, which she is not,” says Williams’s attorney, Alexander Rufus-Isaacs. Her case argues “that Netflix made a deliberate decision for dramatic purposes to show Williams doing or saying things in the Series which portray her as a greedy, snobbish, disloyal, dishonest, cowardly, manipulative and opportunistic person.” In addition to finding Inventing Anna inaccurate to her lived experience, Williams also thinks the show’s depiction of her was just plain rude to a legal degree. Williams published an article in 2018 about her time with Sorokin, and apparently the series got the details of their friendship all wrong: “Williams did not stop being friends with Sorokin because Sorokin was having problems in Morocco, but rather because she subsequently discovered on her return to New York that Sorokin was a liar and a con artist,” reads a statement from Williams’s lawyer in Delaware state court, per The Hollywood Reporter. Former Vanity Fair photo editor Rachel DeLoache Williams sued Netflix on Monday, August 29, for a defamatory depiction of her on Inventing Anna. Germany’s official scambassador to New York, Anna Sorokin/Anna Delvey, is back in the news cycle again, but this time she’s not the one in trouble. If Katie Lowes played me, I’d be flattered. ![]()
