Sorokin explained that his daughter left the town of Eschweiler for more metropolitan cities because they catered to her love of art and fashion. It was in Paris that she began using the name Delvey, although her parents previously said they “do not recognise the surname”. There, she earned just 400 euros a month from her internship with Purple, a French fashion magazine, and remained financially dependent on her parents, Delvey told The New York Times in 2019. She predominantly grew up in Eschweiler, Germany where her father worked as an executive at a transport company.Īt age 19, Delvey left Germany to pursue a fashion degree in Paris. “But she did find a way - a dishonest and shameful way - and it’s landed her in prison and now in an immigration center awaiting deportation,” Sorokin said.Īnna Delvey, 31, was born in Domodedovo, a working-class suburb south of Moscow. He added, “I don’t think she has ever once said that she loves me but would tell me instead: ‘I’m your only daughter and you have to help me and give me money. At the moment because she is in detention the amounts are small … but even in there she hasn’t learned how to control her finances.” “I’ve sent her thousands of dollars in the past. We’re grateful.“I speak to Anna three or four times a week from the immigration centre in New York and the conversation is always the same - she needs money,” the 58-year-old said. Anna is currently in an immigration detention center because her residence permit has expired.Ĭurious about the interview? You can see it below: She did everything to earn her place in the elite and how she got there was of no concern to her. In 2021 she was paroled from the women’s prison after a 4-year sentence and in the interview you can hear the accent as well as the fierce remarks that also occur in the series. Speaking of which, there is a recent interview of the real Anna Sorokin in which she tells her story. ![]() If you hear Anna speak herself you will hear where it comes from. The real Anna (Delvey) Sorokin Interview with the ‘real’ AnnaĪctress Julia Garner takes on Miss Delvey and even adopts her German/Russian accent, much to the annoyance of many viewers. Some characters and names are different and of course some events are slightly exaggerated or reenacted differently. In her eyes, she has never ‘stolen’ but people have always paid for her voluntarily.Īs surreal as the story may seem at times, most things in the series really happened. Anna has pranked more people but she herself doesn’t understand what people are getting so worked up about. This she obviously did not pay back and Rachel got into big trouble as a result. She also forged checks and loans and fooled even the smartest people.Īnna even once borrowed (or rather stole) 60,000 euros from the Vanity Fair business credit card of her “friend” Rachel Williams. She regularly had others pay for her with the promise that she would transfer the money later. For four years, she pretended to be a truly wealthy socialite and won a place in the New York elite. Inventing Annaįor example, Anna tells us that she is a stone-age German heiress and that she would receive a large sum of money on her 26th birthday. Furthermore, the series dives deeper into all the tricks of the Russian Sorokin, which is quite shocking at times. She has a scoop and visits the convicted Anna in prison. The series presents itself as a combination of fact and fiction and tells the story of a New York journalist who picks up Anna’s story and wants to write about it. Inventing Anna is Netflix’s latest hit, based on the real events surrounding fake heiress and fraudster named Anna Delvey (real name: Anna Sorokin). ![]()
