Anna Delvey turns her attention to becoming an Instagram influencer amid Inventing Anna's success

BuzzFeed News

Anna "Delvey" Sorokin recently beefed with Rachel DeLoache Williams on Instagram over Williams speaking to the press denouncing Inventing Anna. As Stephanie McNeal points out, "it seems like Sorokin is well on her way to becoming an even bigger internet celebrity, which means she could start to make big money on the platform. I don’t mean that Sorokin will suddenly start posting try-on hauls and swipe-ups to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. But as long as people have been creating content on the internet, there has been at least one type of more controversial influencer: the villain. These are people who, despite being despised by the majority of their followers, are able to make thousands of dollars a year thanks to their notoriety. And that’s because, in many ways, villains can be even more fun and engaging to follow than a noncontroversial influencer."
