It's her first arrest, and everything really starts to kind of unravel. And that's when this story hits the New York Post.
After her arraignment, she ditches and she goes to California.
This lavish lifestyle that Anna had been living, it all comes crashing down when the FBI bring her back to New York. Her lodgings are Rikers Correctional Facility.
She was offered over $300,000 for the deal.
She went to trial for the story.
She immediately goes back to both Instagram and Twitter. We drove with her like seven hours to New York.
Rachel gets on the stand and bursts into sobs and says, this is the worst thing that's ever happened to me in my life.
I think the jury would have liked to care about Rachel if she had gone on the stand and said, look, like, I got caught up. I had no business going on a trip I couldn't pay for myself. This sounded like a lot of fun, and it turned into a nightmare. I think that she could have brought the jury along with her on that. But there was none of that.
Anna's story becomes bigger after her incarceration than she ever was before.
She woke up one morning and she decided to be somebody else and she actually became that person.
She goes straight to a posh hotel in New York City.
giving interviews on social media, really living the high life, pictures on Instagram of, you know, drinking champagne in a footed tub and, you know, the whole gamut.
I mean, I cannot be responsible for what people say. This, of course, was not looking like she was actually remorseful and felt sorry.
She had the option to be somebody different, but she kept Anna Delvey. That level of disconnect allows her to sort of operate without, you know, feeling too much ever.
She would tip the cab driver $100 in cash and make sure everybody saw it.
I don't think anybody could place Anna's accent. You weren't really sure where Anna was from, but she was from somewhere else. Very active on Instagram and Twitter. She would take pictures when she was on planes or at a nice dinner. Her Instagram account actually helped build her image.
There was something about Anna. She knew which people she needed to make feel important. And she also had this sort of aura about her where she's intriguing and she used that.
They were both young, they were both in their 20s, they both recently moved to New York and they wanted to be in circles that they didn't really belong to.
Whether you're talking about Anna Sorokin or Anna Delvey, She does not like to follow the rules.
A globetrotting life of glitz and glamour for one woman masquerading as an heiress. She woke up one morning and she decided to be somebody else.
Rachel just footed the bill for both of them is what really happened. And this was a feature in their friendship for sure.
