Convicted scammer Anna Sorokin more commonly known by the name Anna Delvey thinks the depiction of her in the hit Netflix series Inventing Anna in a bit of a con.

I dont think I ordered people around as much, Sorokin recently told Cosmopolitan of Julia Garners portrayal of her in the Shonda Rhimes -produced hit. I think Im more self-aware of the way I come across. Not all the time, but I just dont think Im so brazen and shameless.

The fake German heiress whos also known as the The SoHo Grifter was arrested in 2018 for swindling banks, luxury hotels and several individuals out of more than $200,000 to bankroll her lavish New York City lifestyle. A Manhattan jury convicted her on one count of attempted grand larceny, three counts of grand larceny and four counts of theft of services in 2019. She caught nationwide attention after her story was reported in a viral New York magazine article and an essay written by a former Vanity Fair photo editor who said she was forced to pay $62,000 after Sorokin invited her on a trip to Morocco and couldnt foot the bill.

Sorokin was released from prison in 2021, but six weeks later, she was rearrested by immigration authorities for having overstayed her visa. She is currently in ICE detention, where she is fighting deportation to Germany.

Sorokin spoke to Cosmopolitan about how Inventing Anna a dramatized version of her life in her 20s has shaped public opinion of her and the impact it has on her life right now.

I personally moved on a very long time ago and Im absolutely not in the same place, but Im also being affected by the way the world sees me and by what people think of me, she told the magazine. I exist in relation to everybody else and to the world, I dont just exist on my own.
