Convicted fraudster Anna Delvey (née Anna Sorokin) is trying to launch her comeback. If you’re not familiar with Anna, she’s a Russian native who got famous after being caught posing as a German heiress and conning people, hotels, and banks out of $275,000. Netflix’s Inventing Anna is based on her scam. In 2018, Anna was convicted of larceny, theft, and other crimes, and sentenced to four to 12 years in prison. She was released in 2022 for good behavior, but shortly thereafter taken into custody by ICE for overstaying her visa. She was eventually released from their custody and sentenced to house arrest as she fights deportation. Anna’s house arrest was just lifted, but she’s wearing an ICE-mandated ankle monitor. Yeah, this chick’s got a lot going on, but that’s not slowing her down from making a return to the spotlight. A girl’s gotta grift, ya know?
Anna is going to be on the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars, as well as starring in a new reality TV show called The Anonymous, which is, appropriately, about deception. Before Anna’s new TV gigs get going, though, she’s also dabbling in modeling. Anna showed up at New York Fashion Week as a spectator and model for the Untitled&Co runway show. To show off her latest accessory, Anna decided to bejewel her ankle monitor for the occasion.
Fake heiress Anna Delvey showed off her bejewelled ankle tag during New York Fashion Week on Wednesday.
Attending the Untitled&Co runway show at The Altman Building, she added a silver and black jewels, in the shape of the brand’s logo, to her ankle monitor. Not shy of hiding the tag, Anna wore a quirky mini dress, with a graphic printed bodice and short rara skirt. She elevated her height with a pair of white stiletto heels and layered over a black blazer, accessorising with a tiara and rosette.
Anna, who modelled at the event, later changed into a leather maxi dress and a sheer sequinned two-piece for her second and third look.
She spent years posing as a wealthy heiress while defrauding a series of banks, hotels, and individuals out of $275,000 and is currently gearing up to feature on Dancing With the Stars. Anna was arrested in 2017 and found guilty of grand larceny, larceny in the second degree, and theft of services. The fraudster was sentenced to four to 12 years behind bars, and was released from prison in 2022 to house arrest. She was also banned from using social media.
Is it attention-grabby to bling out your ICE-ordered ankle tag while attending a fashion show? It sure is! But I’d expect nothing less, and why the hell not? It’s there for the blinging. I’d probably do the same thing if I were her. I think it may be the best part of that mess she’s wearing. As you can see from the pictures below, Anna also showed up to NYFW with a whole new face. I’m going to guess that change was not court-ordered, and I’m dying to know who paid for it. As for DWTS, I still think it’s absolutely wild that Anna is participating on it in the first place, but this is a show that’s also had Tucker Carlson, Sean Spicer, and Tom DeLay as contestants. Clearly, she’s their controversial figure archetype for this season. The lady has no morals but she’s got that hustle, and even prison couldn’t keep her down.

Why would anyone want to participate in giving this person more attention, much less associating with her at all? Bizarre.
That’s my question. Also if she was not white would anyone just be hanging around her and offering her tv gigs? This is so odd.
The face work funder…? My money is on Space Karen. Ya gotta support your own tribe.
Oh… oh heavens. All that filler… it’s grotesque. Although if she’s modeling our other celebrity heiresses, I suppose that aligns. I’m looking at you and your newest face, Ivanka.
Did she not check their work???
I find this whole thing really, really gross and disheartening. A perfect example of unequal justice and white girl privilege. And her new face really ages her.
I find this disheartening because she gets rewarded for criminal behavior. In a show for the whole family.
Another thing I feel is more known in Europe, but I would not be 100% in about the white girl privileges in this case, which are usually very very true. There is and has always been anti-slavic phobia, discrimination and racism against Eastern Europeans. Slavic people (or even people carrying a slavic last name – as do I for example) are in many cases still treated differently. “White but not quite.”
But she is not in Eastern Europe – she’s in America with the American Justice System – where she is very much being treated with white girl privilege.
🎯
I don’t really the point of the ankle tag at that point other than for her to have something to keep her relevant.
I get the point about discrimination against Eastern Europeans/ Slavic people but you also have to recognize that somebody like Anna Delvey is not doing anything to fight against prejudices. She’s only enhancing the image that Eastern Europeans/Slavic people are thieves, something that I remember the tv show Emily in Paris being criticized for when they had a Ukrainian character whose sole purpose was to be a thief for example.
I’d like to know who paid for any of this. It’s interesting that she and Laura Loomer are starting to convert on the same face. Perhaps they have the same surgeon.
If she wasn’t white she would have been deported already.
100% this
amazing that none of the MAGA folks are screaming about her essentially getting rewarded for overstaying her visa and demanding that this convicted criminal be deported
She might have been able to go into hiding and escape deportation had she not publicly debuted the new face. She’s unrecognizable.
Why would people voluntarily uglify themselves, in addition to making themselves look much older?
Why do all these shows etc offer AD a platform? Does the money she grifts at least go towards paying back the victims of her fraud?
And yes, she should have been deported long ago, back to Russia.
in polish dwts there was once a woman who was convicted of pimping, beating women she pimped and inciting to rape. And it wasn’t the first tv show she appeared in… Shame!
I’d imagine she’s going to be voted off very early. I saw snippets of her DWTS self introduction and a couple other interviews and she comes across as so unpleasant. Would love to know what her partner thinks…
DWTS will keep her on for the controversy. Don’t watch the show anymore because of stunts like this.
Those 2 images remind me that a little extra weight can be healthy. She looks middle aged in that second pic. I fear weight loss drugs are bringing back the waif girl. Waif by way of drugs.
Her plastic surgeon clearly hates her. And I can’t believe we haven’t deported this sack of dung yet. Other people get deported much faster, for much less.
Maybe I didn’t know what she looked like before, but she looks different to me and like she has had plastic surgery.
Hustlers gonna hustle.
But how on earth does anyone see a clearly over-filled face and think that looks better than the original. I am not even against plastic surgery and injectables but there is so much bad work and I just don’t understand why women want to look like that.
This is so heinous. I can’t.
She has a whole new face. I guess you can get bad fillers while on house arrest.
Looks like she also got new boobs to go with the new face. She looks even more like a whack job than before. Some people really will do anything to be famous. And who are these horrid people that keep propping her up & giving her exposure? Just as soulless & attention-grabbing as she is.
Oooof, that’s a lot of filler!
She looks terrible. Do we know if she’s really just 33? She looks 45 minimum. A poorly aging 45. I can’t tell if it’s just terrible injectables, she’s lying about her age, or both.
Wow, I don’t recognize her at all. She obviously had something done to her lips but she had more work done. How did she get approval to leave her apartment on house arrest for all the cosmetic procedures?!
She was a POC she would have been deported long time ago. How is she able to still monetize off her crimes. This is BS! And why isn’t Orange face screaming about her being an illegal immigrant… smh
Did she not scam people and businesses for way more than that, but so many of them did not come forward because they were rich and didn’t want the hassle or the media attention? She scammed several people who were “friends”, thinking they were so rich they would not notice? What’s next on DWTS? Drug dealers? That kid who shot protesters? If I was a fashion designer with real talent, I would not think that having her in my show would be a good PR move. The thirst is getting out of hand.
Hardworking, honest people who have lived in this country since they were babies get deported, because their parents didn’t complete paperwork or there was some kind of error, and they had no idea their citizenship didn’t get completed.
But this criminal who was supposed to be deported is still in our country and flouncing around on TV.
Felons who have done their time, can’t vote, drive cars, and barely get jobs. But this theif who is supposed to be on house arrest, has a BEDAZZZLED ankle monitor so she can dance with celebrities.
The justice system is truly broken.
