The former best friend of fake heiress and convicted scammer Anna Sorokin blasted Netflix for green-lighting a new series about Sorokin’s exploits, saying the streaming service is ‘effectively running a con woman’s P.R. — and putting money in her pocket.’
Rachel DeLoache Williams, a former Vanity fair photo editor who was friends with Sorokin when she was ‘Anna Delvey,’ alleges Sorokin scammed her out of $62,000 for a lavish Morocco trip.
Posing as a German heiress with a $67 million trust fund back in Europe named Anna Delvey, Sorokin scammed banks and New York’s downtown socialite scene out of thousands of dollars while living in Manhattan between 2013 to 2017.
Now, her former best friend and alleged victim of Sorokin’s scams is watching the fraudster become a star once again.
‘Despite my personal objections, I can understand the series’s appeal…’ Williams wrote in an essay for AirlMail published Friday. ‘For Anna and Netflix alike, attention is stock-in-trade. Consider that whatever scruples audiences may have with Inventing Anna, whether they celebrate or scrutinize its dubious depictions, any controversy that ensues is sure to attract an even wider audience.’
