NEW YORK (AP) Its a weekday afternoon and Anna Sorokin is on house arrest in a New York apartment building that has been condemned as imminently perilous to life. So shes attempting to capture outside attention and relieving her boredom in the most quotidian way: starting a podcast.

So many people became famous for bad things and were able to kind of segue it into something different, she recently told The Associated Press in her East Village apartment.

The main theme of my podcast is productive rule-breaking, she said of The Anna Delvey Show.

For now, she wants to reimagine her public image to shake her reputation of being a con artist and a scammer.

Im on 24/7 house arrest. Im only allowed to leave for my parole check-ins, my ICE check-ins and for medical emergencies, she said. Behind her is a life-size cutout of her likeness created by artist Kenny Schachter which, like Sorokin herself, is wearing an ankle monitoring device.
