As USA Today reports, this is technically true, although not quite as dramatic as it sounds. One Inventing Anna plot line centres on accusations that Delvey once stole a plane. She was convicted and sentenced to four years in prison in 2019, but was issued an earlier release date due to good behaviour. Did Anna Sorokin go to jail?Īs portrayed in the drama, Anna Sorokin (known to her pals as Anna Delvey) was accused of defrauding New York’s elite out of thousands of dollars. “To be clear, there wasn’t a murder wall. The “murder wall” in Vivian’s nursery is also a work of fiction. Although, ScreenRant notes that Pressler never convinced Anna to actually go to trial, as hinted in the Netflix drama.
However, much like in the series, Pressler really did lend Anna clothes for the trial. “It was definitely not exactly the way it was on the show,” Pressler divulged. However, she didn’t have to fight quite as hard as her onscreen counterpart. Pressler also confirmed that, similarly to Vivian, her The Cut editors pushed back on her Anna Sorokin pitch. Although, she “definitely did not try to break into anyone’s home.” “ I was super pregnant while reporting that story,” Pressler revealed to Vulture, adding that Vivian’s trip to Germany in the show also really happened. In the series, Vivian is pregnant while working on the Anna Delvey story for the fictional Manhattan magazine. Vivian Kent (played by Anna Chlumsky) is based on real-life journalist Jessica Pressler. But how accurate is Netflix’s dramatisation of Pressler’s article? Find a fact check of some of Inventing Anna’s major characters and storylines, below. As we know, the show is based on the now-infamous article published by New York Magazine’s The Cut, titled “How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People.” Penned by journalist Jessica Pressler, whose on-screen counterpart features heavily in the Netflix series, the article told the true story of Russian-born fraudster Anna Delvey (real name Anna Sorokin) who, whilst presenting herself as a German heiress, scammed New York socialites out of thousands of dollars. Netflix’s Inventing Anna starts every episode by telling the audience: “This whole story is completely true, except for all the parts that are totally made up.” So, you’d be forgiven for being a little confused as to what’s real and what’s not.
