A few weeks ago, witnessing the spectacle of "Allegedly" in a swanky hotel in Manhattan's Lower East Side, I found myself facing an uncomfortable question for any journalist: Had I become part of the Anna Delvey Industrial Complex?
Sorokin can't shake her reputation as a scammer, but she can make a living off of it.Īs a reporter, I've talked to Sorokin numerous times, and broken news about her case. And now, there's an art collection - "Allegedly," which consists of 20 drawings Sorokin created from immigration detention, represents the new pinnacle of what I like to call the "Anna Delvey Industrial Complex." There's a crop of books, podcast episodes, Instagram fan accounts. There's "Inventing Anna" on Netflix, starring Julia Garner. Kris Jenner works hard, but Anna Sorokin works harder. She's a master of leveraging her own notoriety. Whether Sorokin is directly involved with each facet doesn't matter. Her scamming story, using the made-up name Anna Delvey, has formed not so much a cottage industry as a full-scale economic engine. In the years since Anna Sorokin was found guilty of her "fake heiress" scam, she has been tirelessly recrafting her image. Gazing at her drawings at a swanky downtown hotel party, I saw myself - literally. The notorious subject of Netflix's "Inventing Anna" is reinventing herself as an artist.
