![]() ![]() In a scene from Inventing Anna, Sorokin leaves Williams behind on a lavish trip in Morocco after her credit card is declined. Her writings on Sorokin are being turned into an HBO drama that is currently being developed by Lena Dunham. Williams wrote about her friendship with Sorokin for Vanity Fair and has published a book about the affair, My Friend Anna: the True Story of the Fake Heiress of New York City (2019). Eventually, once she realises Sorokin’s stories are lies, Williams assists in the sting operation that leads to Sorokin’s 2017 arrest in Los Angeles. In the series, which was produced by Shonda Rhimes based on reporting by journalist Jessica Pressler for New York magazine, Williams is seen accepting gifts from and going on expensive trips with Sorokin-who posed as the fake German heiress Anna Delvey, claimed a net worth of $60m and claimed she was starting an exclusive contemporary art space and private club in Manhattan. She alleges that nearly every detail of the character based on her is fabricated. In the lawsuit, Williams, a former photo editor at Vanity Fair, claims that the show portrayed her in an unflattering light. The lawsuit was filed by Alex Rufus-Issacs, Williams’s lawyer, in District Court in Delaware, Netflix’s home base. On Monday the writer Rachel Williams, a former friend of Sorokin’s, filed a lawsuit alleging defamation and false light invasion of privacy by Netflix, according to documents obtained by Deadline, claiming the show’s portrayal of her was a “hatchet job”. The Netflix series Inventing Anna made headlines when it premiered last February for its salacious depiction of the con artist Anna Sorokin (alias Anna Delvey), but now the series is in the news because one of the people it depicts has taken issue with her portrayal.
