After being jailed in 2019 for her fraudulent activities, Anna Delvey, also known as Anna Sorokin, faced a tough legal battle. When she was released from prison, she was placed under house arrest by immigration courts. Not only was she required to wear an ankle monitor, but she was also banned from posting on social media platforms. Her lawyers argued that these restrictions did not serve any real purpose in terms of mitigating any potential risks Ms. Sorokin may pose. It was clear that her constitutional rights were being violated.
Recently, a judge ruled in favor of Anna Delvey, allowing her to return to social media. Delvey expressed her relief at being able to “control [her] own narrative again”. This decision signifies a fresh start for her, giving her the opportunity to rebuild her image in the public eye. The freedom to post online again also opens up new business opportunities for Delvey. Over the years, she has made a name for herself in the fashion industry and has already embarked on several projects.
Despite her legal troubles, Anna Delvey has not shied away from the fashion world. She co-launched the OutLaw Agency, a pop-up agency with Kelly Cutrone, a well-known figure in the fashion industry. Delvey has also ventured into showcasing designer Shao Yang’s work during Fashion Week. Her courtroom style and influence have paved the way for her to make a mark in the fashion business. In fact, she even leveraged one of her immigration court appearances to promote Yang’s work by donning a custom outfit.
Anna Delvey expressed her gratitude to the United States government court system and her lawyers, John Sandweg and Catherine Hunstad, for fighting for her First Amendment rights. This acknowledgment highlights the importance of standing up for one’s rights, even in the face of adversities. Delvey’s legal battle serves as a reminder that everyone deserves a chance to tell their own story and have their voice heard. The ruling to allow her back on social media is a step towards reclaiming her narrative and shaping her future endeavors.
