Under house arrest, fake heiress Anna 'Delvey' Sorokin launches podcast to rehab public image

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s a weekday morning and Anna Sorokin is on house arrest in a New York apartment building that has been condemned as imminently perilous to life. So she’s attempting to capture outside attention and relieving her boredom in the most quotidian way: starting a podcast. 

“So many people became famous for bad things and were able to kind of segue it into something different," she recently told The Associated Press in her East Village apartment. 

“The main theme of my podcast is productive rule-breaking,” she said of “The Anna Delvey Show.” 

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