Anna Delvey, fake heiress, returns to social media following court decision

A judge has granted Anna Delvey permission to return to social media, according to Page Six. The “fake heiress” expressed her relief at being able to “control [her] own narrative again” following the decision.

Delvey was famously incarcerated in 2019 for impersonating an aristocrat and defrauding various businesses of approximately $200,000.

After her release from prison, Delvey was placed under house arrest by immigration authorities while she awaited a decision on whether she would be permitted to stay in the US or face deportation to Germany.

In addition to being fitted with an ankle monitor, the judge prohibited Delvey—whose real name is Anna Sorokin—from posting online.

Her lawyers argued last year in court documents that the restrictions “serve absolutely no purpose in mitigating any flight risk or threat to the community that Ms. Sorokin may present and clearly violate her constitutional rights.”

We have now learned that the court has reversed its decision, allowing her to return to social media starting Friday evening.

This return not only offers Delvey a chance to rehabilitate her public image but may also open up new business opportunities for her.

She has launched a “pop-up agency,” the OutLaw Agency, in collaboration with fashion industry icon Kelly Cutrone, hosted a Fashion Week show for designer Shao Yang of Shao New York, and even used one of her immigration court appearances to showcase Yang’s designs by wearing a custom outfit.

Delvey expressed her gratitude on Friday, saying, “I would like to thank the United States government court system and especially my lawyers John Sandweg and Catherine Hunstad they for fighting for my First Amendment rights. I’m also grateful and thrilled to be able to control my own narrative once again on social media.”
