If you thought being legally housebound and banned from Instagram would stop Anna Delvey from being famous, think again. The fake heiress, who tricked the rich and famous of New York City into thinking she was a multimillionaire, and who then did jail time for her crimes, before being released last year and swiftly locked up again where she beat ICE’s threats of deportation, has… a brand new show.
The 32-year-old scammer has officially signed a deal for her own unscripted reality-TV series, Delvey’s Dinner Club, which will take place at her East Village apartment — the only place she’s legally allowed to be while under house arrest with an ankle monitor on.
According to the Food Network, Delvey (a.k.a. Anna Sorokin) will have friends and celebrities over for dinner for “unscripted conversations where no topic is off-limits.” The show is going to be produced by Wheelhouse Entertainment, which was co-created by another talk show host, none other than Jimmy Kimmel.
Delvey is apparently creating the show to let people know the “real her” after signing away the life rights to her story to Netflix for $320,000 after which the streaming giant created the Shonda Rhimes series, Inventing Anna.
“She’ll do it through what’s already become one of the hottest tables in town — invitation-only, intimate dinners at her home,” the press release states. “There, a Delvey-invited group of actors, musicians, founders, socialites, journalists and other esteemed guests will join her each week around a private-chef catered table.”
“Through fly-on-the-wall footage and interviews with Anna and her guests, Delvey’s Dinner Club will highlight the dichotomy of her house arrest-driven isolation during the day and the experience of company and festivity when she opens her apartment doors to her guests—and viewers—at night.”
As for who will receive an invite to her pad? Delvey told Page Six her dream guests would be Marina Abramovic, Madonna, Ottessa Moshfegh, Elon Musk, the Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, and Cy Vance, the Manhattan District Attorney who indicted Delvey in 2017 for charges including second-degree grand larceny and theft of services.
We can also likely expect Julia Fox, Delvey’s longtime friend, to pop over, as well as — here’s hoping — Neffatari Davis, the real-life person who inspired the character Neff in the Netflix series and Jessica Pressler, the journalist who wrote the original New York Magazine piece exposing Delvey.
