Inventing Anna subject Rachel Williams is suing Netflix for defamation over her portrayal in the series.The former Vanity Fair photo editor took offence over the way she was framed in the series in connection to con artist Anna Sorokin, and filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix on Monday (August 29).Williams is portrayed by Katie Lowes in the series, and the character at first accepts expensive gifts and holidays from Sorokin but eventually gives her up to the authorities.The real-life woman claims that her character in the show is fabricated, and the lawsuit filed in Delaware federal court, obtained by Deadline Hollywood, alleges it paints Williams in a negative light while using her real first and last name, as well as employment and school history.“This action will show that Netflix made a deliberate decision for dramatic purposes to show Williams doing or saying things in the Series which portray her as a greedy, snobbish, disloyal, dishonest, cowardly, manipulative and opportunistic person,” the lawsuit reads.Addressing one scene in particular which appears to show Williams abandoning Sorokin in Morroco, Williams claims she had told Sorokin she had to leave early for work.The lawsuit continues: “Williams did not stop being friends with Sorokin because Sorokin was having problems in Morocco, but rather because she subsequently discovered on her return to New York that Sorokin was a liar and a con artist whose statements and promises had induced Williams to incur liabilities of around $62,000 on Sorokin’s behalf were false, and who only reimbursed her $5,000 despite numerous promises to reimburse her $70,000 to account for the full debt and any late fees incurred.”Netflix has not commented on the case.

This is a choice category this year that leans, like its male counterpart, to some heavyweight names playing other heavyweight names. It has clearly been a great year for female roles in Limited Series if you simply consider some of the women who didn’t make the cut, including Julia Roberts who was sensational as Martha Mitchell in Gaslight, Jessica Biel as the murderous Texas housewife in Candy, Elle Fanning as the conflicted Michelle Carter who talked her boyfriend into suicide in The Girl From Plainville, Oscar winners Anne Hathaway, Renée Zellweger, and on and on. But let’s now take the contest to those still standing in this highly competitive category.

article for Vanity Fair about her experience with Delvey, 31, before the May 2018 New York magazine article — which the show was based on — was published and wrote a book titled “My Friend Anna: The True Story of a Fake Heiress.”“Inventing Anna” follows Delvey — whose real name is Anna Sorokin — as she scams her way through New York City. She lies about being a German heiress, conning not only her friends but also banks and businessmen in an attempt to fund the lifestyle of a wannabe socialite.Williams claims that nearly everything about her character in the Netflix show is made up.“This action will show that Netflix made a deliberate decision for dramatic purposes to show Williams doing or saying things in the Series which portray her as a greedy, snobbish, disloyal, dishonest, cowardly, manipulative and opportunistic person,” the complaint, filed in federal court in Delaware, reads.The lawsuit states that the show consists of 16 separate sets of defamatory statements about the former Vanity Fair photo editor.“Netflix purposely used my real name, and real aspects of my life, to create a totally false and defamatory characterization of me.

In Inventing Anna, which is based on the New York story, Williams's essay is treated like a shallow, self-serving version of New York's in-depth reporting.
