The world became intrigued by the story of Anna Delvey<\/a> (n\u00e9e Anna Sorokin) all over again in early 2022, (three years after her very public trial in 2019 where she was convicted of attempted grand larceny, grand larceny and theft), thanks to the Shonda Rhimes Netflix series<\/a> Inventing Anna.<\/em> Since then, Sorokin has been vocal in getting her story out there \u2014 even while currently detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement \u2014 and is ready to move on and create a “more accurate” version of herself than the media portrayed her to be.<\/p>\n

She’s sharing her side in a new interview with The Untitled Magazine<\/a><\/em> (out Sept. 29). \u201cI\u2019m not guilty of the narrative the prosecution put out there. Not everything said about me was necessarily true,” Sorokin told Untitled<\/em>, GRAZIA USA<\/em> can exclusively report. “I feel like I\u2019m not guilty of the crimes the media charged me with.”<\/p>\n

From 2013 to 2017, Sorokin posed as a German heiress moving her way up in New York society while swindling important figures, banks and hotels of over $200,000. After serving two years (she was released for good behavior) she says she “never had the intention to commit fraud.”<\/p>\n

“If you understand fraud, the definition is that you criminally deprive somebody of money or things,” she tells The Untitled Magazine<\/em>‘s Indira Cesarine. “Nobody in the world can tell me what my intentions were. I know the way I was hoping for it to come out, and it just didn\u2019t happen that way. I did something wrong, but it doesn\u2019t make me universally, a hundred percent, an awful person.”<\/p>\n

In addition to giving an interview for the magazine’s REBEL issue, Sorokin also created her own artwork titled \u201cNo Regrets\u201d for The Untitled Space gallery exhibition. In the “sarcastic” art that’s meant to serve as commentary, she depicted a woman wearing a Gucci gown, which was inspired by Naomi Campbell (who pleaded guilty of assault charges in 2000). The figure stands in front of a Department of Corrections truck with the words “No Regrets” written across the picture.<\/p>\n
