Anna Delvey's House Arrest Comeback: From Fake Heiress to Reality TV Star

About
Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

I am Anna Sorokin, and the past few days have been anything but quiet. The most consequential development for my long term story is my continuing turn from fake heiress to professional personality, with my house arrest, ankle monitor, and media machine all working in tandem. A recent Forbes video interview, noted by MIT News, spotlights me discussing life under house arrest and my new dinner party series Delvey’s Dinner Club, positioning me less as a defendant and more as a creator curating high profile guests around my own table. That project was first widely reported when The A.V. Club described it as an unscripted series where I host actors, musicians, and other public figures while effectively filming from confinement a reality show built around my infamy.

My immigration situation has stayed central: outlets like AOL and others continue to remind audiences that I am still on house arrest and awaiting the outcome of my deportation battle, a limbo that explains the ankle monitor which more recent explainers have revisited in detail as an emblem of my conditional freedom. According to AOL’s recap of my case, I remain under court supervision in New York after my ICE detention, out on bail but not truly free while appeals and immigration issues grind on.

On the pop culture front, the highest visibility storyline this week still echoes from Dancing With the Stars season 33. Entertainment coverage aggregated by The Hollywood Reporter and The Things notes that my brief run on the show is already being dissected: I competed with my ankle monitor on, was eliminated in the second episode, and signed off with a single, much analyzed word. OK Magazine reports how JoJo Siwa publicly pledged to vote for me and my partner Ezra Sosa, while Whoopi Goldberg slammed my casting on The View, questioning why a convicted fraudster who still “owes people money” should get this platform. I responded sharply, as OK and other outlets quote, insisting I have served my time, paid people back years ago, and calling on Goldberg to correct the record.

Social media wise, my own Instagram reactivation last year, covered in detail by People, still fuels current chatter and memes every time I post, especially around my garden shoot captioned Stockholm syndrome, which continues to be recycled as shorthand for my mix of contrition, bravado, and brand management. Any rumors in the last few days about new scams or secret financial backers are, as of now, unconfirmed blog speculation without backing from major news organizations.
