‘Inventing Anna’ subject sues Netflix for defamation
Inventing Anna subject Rachel Williams is suing Netflix for defamation over her portrayal in the series.The former Vanity Fair photo editor took offence over the way she was framed in the series in connection to con artist Anna Sorokin, and filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix on Monday (August 29).Williams is portrayed by Katie Lowes in the series, and the character at first accepts expensive gifts and holidays from Sorokin but eventually gives her up to the authorities.The real-life woman claims that her character in the show is fabricated, and the lawsuit filed in Delaware federal court, obtained by Deadline Hollywood, alleges it paints Williams in a negative light while using her real first and last name, as well as employment and school history.“This action will show that Netflix made a deliberate decision for dramatic purposes to show Williams doing or saying things in the Series which portray her as a greedy, snobbish, disloyal, dishonest, cowardly, manipulative and opportunistic person,” the lawsuit reads.Addressing one scene in particular which appears to show Williams abandoning Sorokin in Morroco, Williams claims she had told Sorokin she had to leave early for work.The lawsuit continues: “Williams did not stop being friends with Sorokin because Sorokin was having problems in Morocco, but rather because she subsequently discovered on her return to New York that Sorokin was a liar and a con artist whose statements and promises had induced Williams to incur liabilities of around $62,000 on Sorokin’s behalf were false, and who only reimbursed her $5,000 despite numerous promises to reimburse her $70,000 to account for the full debt and any late fees incurred.”Netflix has not commented on the case.

‘Inventing Anna’: real-life subject criticises “shocking” Netflix series
Netflix series Inventing Anna.The series, which was released last Friday (February 11), chronicles the rise and fall of scammer Anna Delvey (aka Anna Sorokin) who is played by Ozark star Julia Garner.Williams who is a journalist played by Katie Lowes, makes an appearance in episode six of the series, as the show goes on to document a disastrous holiday that the real-life Williams went on with Sorokin in 2017.The journalist wrote in detail about her trip to Marrakesh in a 2018 article for Vanity Fair titled ‘My Bright-Lights Misadventure With A Magician Of Manhattan‘ and in a 2019 book titled My Friend Anna.She has since responded to her portrayal in the series in an article for Time Magazine in which she clarified that she “was not involved with the show”.Williams explained that she “expected there would be times when the dramatisation of my experience would make me uncomfortable” and added she “understood that stepping into the spotlight came with certain risks”.“I would only have so much control over how I was portrayed,” she wrote but added that “this Netflix description felt shocking”.She went on to quote one section of her character’s description which states that “the woman she becomes because of Anna” and said that these “seven little words in one fell swoop stripped me of my agency, accomplishments, and truth”.Williams added: “Were we meant to believe that the woman I had become was not on account of the parents who raised me, the love I shared with family and friends, my own efforts or personal growth, but because of Anna?” As reflected in Inventing Anna, the journalist was pressured into footing the bill for the lavish holiday when Sorokin said she was experiencing trouble with her bank.
