The convicted fraudster had to get special permission to fly to Los Angeles to tape the show after being on house arrest in New York following her release from prison.
Anna Sorokin managed to convince hotels, banks, and even her friends that she was a German heiress called Anna Delvey until a New York judge called her bluff.The 33-year-old was arrested in 2017 and accused of defrauding institutions out of more than $250,000 to fund the luxurious lifestyle she enjoyed by pretending to be the daughter of a German oil businessman. She was convicted in 2019 of charges including grand larceny and theft and sentenced to four to 12 years behind bars.
The German native was picked up by the immigration authorities for overstaying her visa after leaving jail and spent over a year in ICE custody before being freed to fight her case while under home confinement.The fake heiress will also be wearing an unwanted accessory—an ankle monitor required to monitor her movements as part of her home confinement conditions.
