Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer A Vanity Fair staffer who is portrayed in the Netflix show “Inventing Anna” filed a lawsuit on Monday, claiming she was falsely depicted in the series as “unethical,” “greedy,” “snobbish” and “disloyal.” Rachel Williams was a friend of Anna Sorokin, the convicted con artist at the center of the show.
Williams was defrauded out of $62,000 and wrote a Vanity Fair article and a book about the experience. The Netflix series was adapted from a New York magazine article about Sorokin.
