Anna ‘Delvey’ Sorokin Talks About House Arrest And Her New Dinner Party Series | Forbes

In an exclusive interview with Forbes, the fake German heiress known as Anna Delvey discusses her lucrative art career and her new reality series.
Anna Sorokin, the fake German heiress known as Anna Delvey who was convicted of fraud and was accused of scamming her way through elite New York City circles, will be the subject of a new reality show, which will be filmed while she’s on house arrest as her immigration case plays out.
Called Delvey’s Dinner Club, the series will film inside Sorokin’s East Village apartment-where she has been living since October, when she was released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody in New York- according to a press release.
Sorokin will host dinner parties at her home, where “actors, musicians, founders, socialites, journalists and other esteemed guests” will eat around “a private-chef catered table” for “candid conversations where no topic is off-limits,” and will also feature interviews with Sorokin and her guests.

I think fame will bite her back in the end, eventually. You control the media until the media starts controlling you. She might be seen as some sort of “Robin Hood” hustler today, but one day people will want to see her fail. It happens to every single individual who reaches for the star.

She'd make an interesting study for a psychologist. She's not at all ashamed or regretful. She talks of making a "mistake" as though it were a genuine mistake like forgetting to pay. She mentions "bad things" happening to someone as though her situation was a blow of misfortune. Her situation is entirely of her own making. She stole what she couldn't afford, lied and cheated. The worst was how she used her best friend and almost ruined that friend's life. Certainly morally wrong. Anna D/S doesn't even come across as a particularly interesting person. I admit though that her story and audacity is astounding and therefore fascinating. The question I would like to ask her is how could she continue to enjoy her stolen lifestyle when people were already pressuring her for payment that she didn't have. E.g in hotels or on holiday. Did she really block this problem out until the point of no return? Or did she actually spend a lot of time contemplating how to wriggle out of the situation?

The level of narciscims its just crazy. Now its gonna be interesting to hear what the decision of the inmigration court of appeals is. I know how the law is for for non citizens when they commit crimes and deportation is inevitable. There you have the case of theresa giudice s husband who went to jail for defrauding the IRS and was deported and no legal battle saved him. Of course he wasent young and as famous as anna. If she doesnt end up getting deported from the united states i would start to have serious questions about the justice system in the united states.

[@darinbashaw]

Just finished that Netflix series. Depending upon how much is true, the accent is pretty spot on, it's hard not to be impressed with this woman. Sure, she lied and scammed, but I don't think it was her intention to be a con artist. Maybe if she had gotten those 40 million dollar loans, she could have started that business and become a great success on her own merits.

[@MrDylanHole]

you're delusional

[@jy7558]

You’re delusional to think that, she was just spending the money on her lifestyle, she wasn’t a ‘boss girl’ at all. She’s a scam. Actually managing a business and turning a profit won’t be so easy, they were only willing to lend her because she had supposed collaterals not because her business ideas were sound.

[@grandtrinesong5949]

Exactly... Men on Wall St. do worse than she ever has every single day. She acknowledges that lying to try to get ahead was wrong, which is more than most predominantly male con artists in the U.S. will admit/acknowledge. Now she's using her influence to do good.

[@shanegibson9036]

She needed to steal 400,000usd from the woman who put a roof over her head to go shopping for clothes shoes bags in order to start her business?

Narcissistic people needs to be interviewed by people with stronger personality and experience, because as we can see here, she can easily manipulate interviewers that are not experienced.

[@joeklemmer759]

Why do we glamorize these crooks

[@mareveflowers2315]

What surprises me most is how societies can celebrate DELUSIONS! If a person believes to be morbidly OBESE, but is in fact skinny, we call this an eating disorder. Networks, such as Netflix, even singed a deal with this person when in fact, she should have received medical attention, NOT media attention! Our society doesn't thrive on discernment and logic anymore, but it is rather sinking on the basis of emotionality and shock value.

[@aelincat8455]

Look, I get why people hate her. But I find her incredibly fascinating and would absolutely love to speak to her. Especially without cameras to see if the persona is the same with or without an audience. She's very interesting and most scammers have a capitalist take where consumers are victimized, whereas she almost went the opposite direction.

[@SimonNickels]

Ironically she was faking being a wealthy heiress and now has ended up getting wealthy from faking it

unbelievable. She conned a lot of people and organisations and she's now being treated like a celebrity? You have government officials who might have sneaked in a few expenses that they shouldn't have and has been named and shamed and made to feel like some dirty disgusting people but has done good with their jobs and here you have someone who is being put on a pedestal for what she's done!!!

[@LorakMusic]

after the movie I've imagined her to be younger, slimmer and prettier

[@Patsy_Lo]

It’s a shameful reflection on how the world is structured - someone like her gets bookdeals, etc and interviews by Forbes? Why? Hardworking, honest, kind people who are helping to actually make the world a better place don’t get any recognitions. I feel sick just watching the titles.

[@Blonde_Somnambulist]

People are intrigued by the audacity of individuals like her. Societal norms do not apply, she lacks moral fibre, has a skewed perception of what positive human interaction looks like. She's utterly ruthless, and utterly fascinating. She's the car crash on the highway, you know you shouldn't stare , but cannot resist . Sadly, in the West, this narcissistic, capitalistic world we live in , society is producing corrupted individuals at the speed of a conveyor belt.

She's more of a low rent Zsa Zsa Gabor who's so desperate for attention it's really sad. She's someone who really believes there is no such thing as bad publicity. As a narcissist, the thought of remorse for anything she's done is not even part of the equation.

She would have just used men and get all their money but she didnt. She paid the friends back when she was able to. I think she was a true visionary, but didnt have the means to make that vision come to life, so she used her contacts but she went too far with it.
