Trainer Kacy Duke Reacts After Watching 'Inventing Anna': 'What a Ride It's Been' (Exclusive)
etonline.com, celebrity trainer Kacy Duke is sharing how she really feels about the Netflix series. Portrayed by Laverne Cox, Duke was one of the many people sucked in and then conned by Anna Delvey, aka the “Fake German Heiress” convicted of scamming some of New York’s elite, high-end hotels and restaurants and banks out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. “Wow, what a ride it’s been,” Duke tells ET’s Lauren Zima after watching all nine episodes of the binge-worthy.
Even though it brought back some unpleasant memories of her experiences with Delvey, including being invited on the now infamous Morocco trip where things went awry, Duke says “to have your story told and the truth come out is pretty amazing.
It feels good in that way.” She adds, “It’s an experience, you know, to relive it.” After journalist Jessica Pressler first ignited a media frenzy with the 2018 magazine article, “How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People,” Delvey is now at the center of the star-studded series, with Julia Garner portraying her onscreen.
In the article, Duke was depicted as “a personal trainer–slash–life coach she’d found online, a svelte, ageless Oprah-esque figure who works with celebrities like Dakota Johnson.” And the scripted series recounted her experiences with Delvey, including being paid in cash for her training sessions that the expat bought for her and her friends, Neff Davis (Alexis Floyd) and Rachel Williams (Katie Lowes).
