So cunning she managed to trick New York's elite into believing she was a German heiress named Anna Delvey with a net worth of $90 million, the Anna Sorokin Woman's Day meets on a frosty December afternoon is decidedly different.
There's an undeniable elephant, or should we say mouse, in the room when Anna, now under strict house arrest, invites us in. An exterminator is on his hands and knees underneath her kitchen sink, searching for the mice she has seen race through her room.
It's a juxtaposition to the life she once lived scamming money from rich people to fund shopping trips, chartering private jets and racking up hotel bills to the tune of $43,000.
It's been three months since Sorokin was granted parole while she fights deportation from the United States.
The Russian-born German scammer originally served three years in prison for a range of financial crimes, including grand larceny, her criminal exploits the subject of documentaries, podcasts and the incredibly popular Netflix miniseries, Inventing Anna.
"I feel like a completely different person," Sorokin, 31, says, who is currently spruiking the idea of a reality TV series about her life to the highest bidder. "I regret a lot of the choices I've made. But I don't get the option to go back and change it."
LIFE UNDER HOUSE ARREST
Away from the glitz and glamour of New York's high society, Sorokin's life seems surprisingly mundane.
