Michaela Zee editor Socialite scammer Anna Sorokin, also known as Anna Delvey, sat down with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Wednesday and spoke about her regrets and why she deserves a “second opportunity” to stay in the U.S. “I feel so sorry for a lot of the choices I’ve made,” Sorokin said. “I also feel like I’ve learned so much and I grew as a person.” Sorokin was released from jail on Oct. 5 after being taken into immigration custody for overstaying her visa in March 2021. She is required to remain under house arrest with electronic monitoring and has been barred from all social media.
“It doesn’t sound like you really regret what you did,” Tapper responded, adding that Sorokin seemed to be casting her actions as a “victimless crime.”

I feel like I deserve a second chance.” Sorokin then blamed the prosecution in her 2019 trial and how the media portrayed her as a notorious scam artist. “They kind of created this idea of me and I’m just being left to deal with it,” Sorokin said. “I’m trying to not glamorize my crimes and not lead anybody to believe that’s the way to get famous. Because I suffered a lot as a result … even though I don’t always show it. I’m not going to go on TV and cry.” Sorokin’s scheme of conning New York’s elite from
