Anna Sorokin—also known as fake German heiress Anna Delvey—is speaking out about Rachel Williams’ lawsuit against Netflix, and it appears she has minimal sympathy for her former friend.

Williams formally filed against the streamer for defamation on Monday over her portrayal in Inventing Anna, claiming that Netflix “made a deliberate decision” to portray her as a “greedy, snobbish, disloyal, dishonest, cowardly, manipulative and opportunistic person.”

Williams, a former Vanity Fair staffer, befriended Sorokin in 2018 and was later allegedly conned into racking up $62,000 on a corporate credit card when the two took a trip to Morocco. William eventually turned her friend into the police after begging Sorokin to repay her to avoid being fired or criminally charged.

In the true crime limited series, Williams (played by Katie Lowes) is depicted abandoning Sorokin (Julia Garner) in Morocco when she was in trouble, dropping the influencer as a friend when she was unable to pay for things, and lying about helping authorities apprehend Sorokin—all things that Williams she never said or did.

But Sorokin, who is currently in ICE detention while awaiting a deportation appeal, says she found the series’ portrayal of Williams to be spot on.

“Will gladly make myself available to testify about the accuracy of your depiction Rachel,” she said in a now-expired Instagram story, alongside a post from The Hollywood Reporter. “You know where to find me.”

In a statement shared with Showbiz Cheat Sheet, the con artist added, “[The] truth hurts.”

Shonda Rhimes Says Some Aspects of Series Were Invented to ‘Make the Story Really Sing’

Although Inventing Anna showrunner Shonda Rhimes didn’t set out to make a biopic, she says that many of the elements of the series were facts.

But, she admits, there were fictionalized aspects involved. “There was also stuff that we invented because it needed to be invented to make the story really sing and be what it should be,” Rhimes told The Hollywood Reporter.

Though Rhimes says portraying the characters in Inventing Anna as accurately as possible was of the highest importance to her, some creative liberty was necessary due to restraints.

“We couldn’t talk to Rachel. We had to rely on other people’s stories and do some inventing and, in that [case], we did hear a bunch from Anna about that,” she said.

“But in reality, that was important to me. Because I didn’t want that character to be treated badly or portrayed in a way that felt nasty. I wanted to make sure that all of these women felt like the three-dimensional women they were, and so we worked really hard on that.”

Inventing Anna is streaming now on Netflix.
