Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. The past several days have seen Anna Sorokin, also known as Anna Delvey, squarely in the tabloid and social media spotlight following a bizarre and controversial photoshoot involving rabbits. Last week, Sorokin, now infamous as the fake German heiress who conned Manhattan high society and spent years in prison and immigration detention, posted a series of striking images to her Instagram—which now has over a million followers. She appeared outside a Manhattan subway station in a blue mini dress and heels, holding two rabbits on bright red leashes and her signature blonde hair in one hand, while her court-ordered ankle monitor was in full view, a not-so-subtle nod to her ongoing house arrest according to The Independent. The fur really started flying days later when animal rescuers and vigilant social media users identified those same rabbits, now apparently abandoned in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. According to AOL News and the Brooklyn Magazine, the animals were spotted roaming the park and recognized from Sorokin’s Instagram. The public outrage was immediate and intense, with activists and regular followers alike flooding her direct messages and comment sections with hundreds of angry notes, and, according to Sorokin herself, actual death threats. She took to Instagram to plead her innocence, claiming she had nothing to do with the dumping and was deeply alarmed by the vitriol and threats pouring in. The Independent reports that Sorokin said she never handled the logistics of the shoot or the animals' care and called for an end to the harassment, but her explanation has done little to calm the storm. Digging deeper, it turns out her 19-year-old assistant, Christian Batty, confessed to releasing the rabbits in a moment of panic and poor judgment. According to a statement shared through Sorokin’s social media, Batty panicked due to a lack of pet-friendly housing and experience with animals and mistakenly thought releasing them in Prospect Park was somehow a safe option. Blogger Terry Chao, credited with rescuing at least one of the abandoned bunnies, confirmed that Batty had first contacted her to scout for bunnies used in the shoot and later helped recover a rabbit from the park. Brooklyn Magazine and AOL confirm that, after a tense few days and some teamwork, all the animals involved are now safe and receiving care. Major news outlets splashed headlines such as “Anna Delvey’s Abandoned Bunnies Cause Outrage in Prospect Park” and “Fake Heiress Faces Death Threats After Photoshoot Scandal,” placing Sorokin once again at the nexus of crime, controversy, and influencer culture. There is no evidence that police have been formally involved beyond media inquiries, and, for now, Sorokin remains defiant on social channels, defending her role while the internet continues to debate her legacy one crisis at a time.
