It91裸聊视频檚 a weekday afternoon and Anna Sorokin is on house arrest in a New York apartment building that has been condemned as imminently perilous to life. So she91裸聊视频檚 attempting to capture outside attention and relieving her boredom in the most quotidian way: starting a podcast.

91裸聊视频淪o many people became famous for bad things and were able to kind of segue it into something different,91裸聊视频� she recently told The Associated Press in her East Village apartment.

91裸聊视频淭he main theme of my podcast is productive rule-breaking,91裸聊视频� she said of 91裸聊视频淭he Anna Delvey Show.91裸聊视频�

For now, she wants to reimagine her public image to shake her reputation of being a con artist and a scammer.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 on 24/7 house arrest. I91裸聊视频檓 only allowed to leave for my parole check-ins, my ICE check-ins and for medical emergencies,91裸聊视频� she said. Behind her is a life-size cutout of her likeness 91裸聊视频� created by artist Kenny Schachter 91裸聊视频� which, like Sorokin herself, is wearing an ankle monitoring device.

Going by the name Anna Delvey, she posed as a German heiress and lied about having a $67 million trust fund in order to apply for loans, run up debts and secure a historic building for a private arts club. She falsely claimed to be the daughter of a diplomat or an oil baron. Arrested in late 2017, she was convicted in 2019 on multiple counts of larceny and theft for bilking banks, hotels and wealthy New Yorkers out of $275,000.

She was sentenced to four to 12 years in prison. After serving three years in prison though 91裸聊视频� about half of which was at Rikers Island jail complex 91裸聊视频� Sorokin, a German citizen, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Later, she was released after posting a $10,000 bond in the fall to home confinement, pending a deportation hearing.

Now she91裸聊视频檚 taking advantage of her time at home by launching a weekly podcast series that she hopes will tell her side of the story, featuring various expert and celebrity guests. Sorokin91裸聊视频檚 conversations with Julia Fox, 91裸聊视频淧harma Bro91裸聊视频� Martin Shkreli and Ottessa Moshfegh will be on upcoming episodes, according to Reunion Audio, the podcast company, who have also said she is interviewing Emily Ratajkowski though her team has not confirmed that.

Sorokin91裸聊视频檚 fraud case became the basis for the Emmy-nominated Netflix series 91裸聊视频淚nventing Anna,91裸聊视频� based on a New York magazine story. Sorokin, played by three-time Emmy winner Julia Garner, said she was a consultant on the show, but didn91裸聊视频檛 have 91裸聊视频渁ny control91裸聊视频� over the final product.

91裸聊视频淔or me to say I91裸聊视频檓 rehabilitated would be to admit something was wrong with me to begin with. Like, I was just young. I made some mistakes,91裸聊视频� she said. 91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 trying to learn from them. My case, my criminal case is on direct appeal.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淚nventing Anna91裸聊视频� was inspired by real-life events, but every episode included a disclaimer that the story was true except for the parts that were made up.

91裸聊视频淚 know some of the stuff like definitely did not happen,91裸聊视频� Sorokin said. 91裸聊视频淏ut it91裸聊视频檚 not really up to me to sit here and go over the series piece-by-piece, because it91裸聊视频檚 literally a Shonda Rhimes interpretation.91裸聊视频�

While Sorokin was jailed, her fanbase grew 91裸聊视频� even organizing a 91裸聊视频淔ree Anna Delvey91裸聊视频� art show that included some of her drawings, as well as works by other artists. Since then, she has attempted to sell pencil drawings for up to $25,000.

The podcast gives her the opportunity to take back some control over the narrative, and it91裸聊视频檚 something she91裸聊视频檚 thought about doing for some time.

91裸聊视频淚 wanted to start recording in jail, actually over the jail phone because, you know, there are some rappers who record whole albums while being incarcerated. I was like, `Why not record a podcast?91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频� Sorokin said.

She was never able to do it, because it was 91裸聊视频渓ogistically difficult91裸聊视频� to record episodes, according to the podcast company.

As far as her time behind bars, Sorokin called prison a 91裸聊视频渢ransformative experience,91裸聊视频� saying that she91裸聊视频檚 no longer the person who was arrested in 2017.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 been five years, a bit more than five years since I got arrested. So, I just like 91裸聊视频� I changed. I learned so much,91裸聊视频� she said. Dressed in a white blouse, her signature black-ribbon tie and dark slacks, her ankle bracelet is clearly visible.

She lifts her pants leg to show it off and even explains how it works.

91裸聊视频淪ometimes you see the banks all operate the biggest fraud on a huge scale, but like if you bounce, I don91裸聊视频檛 know, a $500 check, then (it91裸聊视频檚) fraud,91裸聊视频� Sorokin said.

This week, Sorokin91裸聊视频檚 guest on 91裸聊视频淭he Anna Delvey Show91裸聊视频� was model and rocker Julia Cumming of the New York City band, Sunflower Bean.

During a discussion about what makes a real New Yorker, Cumming says Sorokin91裸聊视频檚 impact in the city qualifies her.

91裸聊视频淵ou are the first person I91裸聊视频檝e ever hung out with under house arrest,91裸聊视频� she said. 91裸聊视频淪o that91裸聊视频檚 a huge accomplishment.91裸聊视频�

Sorokin agreed that she didn91裸聊视频檛 know anyone under house arrest either.

Cumming responded: 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 like you and Lindsay Lohan,91裸聊视频� who was under house arrest in Los Angeles more than a decade ago.

Sorokin believes her notoriety makes it91裸聊视频檚 easy for her to bring guests on the show.

91裸聊视频淚 can get pretty much anybody up here,91裸聊视频� she said with brash confidence.

But there91裸聊视频檚 one guest she won91裸聊视频檛 be able to get: Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, who just began an 11-year prison sentence for overseeing a blood-testing hoax that became a parable about greed and hubris in Silicon Valley.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檇 love to speak to Elizabeth. I definitely think she91裸聊视频檚 an interesting person,91裸聊视频� Sorokin said. 91裸聊视频淚 can relate a little bit more is because we91裸聊视频檙e both females and have been trying to build something.91裸聊视频�

She would also consider having U.S. Rep. George Santos on the podcast, but doesn91裸聊视频檛 feel she has much in common with him. The New York Republican who fabricated an identity as a rich, Wall Street dealmaker while running for Congress, and was recently charged in a 13-count indictment that included fraud, money laundering, and theft of public funds.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 sure some of it is true, some of it 91裸聊视频� it91裸聊视频檚 not,91裸聊视频� Sorokin said of things written about Santos.

She added: 91裸聊视频淚 get so many requests to give George Santos advice, jail advice or something. I kind of stayed away from that.91裸聊视频�

So, for now, the subject of the 91裸聊视频淚nventing Anna91裸聊视频� series waits to find out if people tune into the podcast, available this week on all major platforms 91裸聊视频� and if her campaign to reinvent herself works.
