Anna Delvey Won’t Watch Netflix’s ‘Inventing Anna’: It Doesn’t ‘Sound Appealing’

usmagazine.com:

Sitting it out. Anna Delvey shared her feelings about the upcoming Netflix series, Inventing Anna, and she isn’t looking forward to seeing how it tells her life story.“While the world is pondering Julia Garner‘s take on my accent in Inventing Anna … the real me sits in a cell in Orange County Jail in upstate New York, in quarantine isolation,” Delvey, 31, wrote in an essay for Insider on Wednesday, February 2.

She is currently being held by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, who alleged that she violated the conditions of her parole following her February 2021 release from prison.Delvey — whose real name is Anna Sorokin — served two years in prison after being convicted on four counts of theft services, three counts of grand larceny and one count of attempted grand larceny in April 2019.

After posting on social media following her February 2021 release, Delvey was once again arrested, with law enforcement claiming that her Instagram posts showed a lack of remorse for her crimes.“So, no — it doesn’t look like I’ll be watching Inventing Anna anytime soon,” the Russia native wrote. “Even if I were to pull some strings and make it happen, nothing about seeing a fictionalized version of myself in this criminal-insane-asylum setting sounds appealing to me.”Delvey went on to say that she feels like an “afterthought” to the show’s creators, who have based the plot on “hours of phone conversations and visits” in order to tell her story “through a journalist’s perspective.” Inventing Anna is also inspired by a 2018 New York Magazine article that detailed how she posed as a rich German heiress in order to secure loans to open a lavish art club in the mid-2010s.
