Convicted con artist Anna Delvey is reportedly writing a new book and working on a documentary while dealing with ongoing immigration problems in the United States.
Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, rose to fame after being convicted of fraud for posing as a wealthy German heiress. Delvey first became a public figure after her case inspired the Netflix series Invent Anna.
She is now under house arrest in New York while immigration authorities continue deportation proceedings against her.
The new memoir would cover her life before and after her fraud case. It will also focus on her lawsuit and her current legal situation.
The book is reportedly already partially written. There is also a documentary project in development.
Delvey has said the goal is to change the way she is viewed in the media. She wants to distract from her past crimes.
“There’s this assumption that life freezes the moment the internet defines who you are, but in reality you still have to keep evolving while everyone else continues to project an outdated version of you onto the screen,” she said. TMZ.
She has described the project as a way to talk about “media, perception, ambition, reputation and the economics of attention.”
Since leaving prison, she has remained in the public eye through media appearances and collaborations. She previously appeared on Dancing with the stars. Under guidance, she has also worked with lifestyle and media brands.
Delvey is currently fighting to remain in the US as immigration officials push for her deportation to Germany due to visa violations.
