Anna Sorokin and the Abandoned Rabbits: A New Chapter in the Saga of the Fake Heiress

Anna Sorokin, the infamous fake heiress portrayed in Netflix's Inventing Anna, is once again making headlines. This time, it's not for elaborate scams, but for a shocking incident involving three rabbits.

The Incident: Rabbits used in a photoshoot featuring Sorokin were found abandoned in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Social media quickly linked the abandoned animals to the photoshoot, sparking outrage.

Sorokin's Response: Sorokin claims she is "horrified" and not responsible for the rabbits' abandonment. She stated that she offered to help rehome them once she learned of their plight.

Photographer's Statement: The photographer, Jasper Egan Soloff, denies involvement, claiming it was not his shoot and that he had no knowledge of the rabbits’ origin or handling.

Another Individual Takes Responsibility: Another person involved in the photoshoot issued an apology on a since-deleted Instagram post, claiming panic and lack of experience led to releasing the rabbits in Prospect Park.

Public Outrage: Social media users are accusing Sorokin of animal cruelty, criticizing the use of the animals as props in the photoshoot and highlighting the potential harm of the rabbits' positioning in the photograph.

Sorokin's Past: Sorokin was convicted in 2019 of larceny and theft. After serving nearly four years in prison and an additional 18 months in immigration detention, she was released and ordered to refrain from social media activity, an order she seemingly hasn't fully adhered to.

The rabbits, now being fostered, add another layer of complexity to the already controversial story of Anna Sorokin. This incident highlights the public's reaction to animal mistreatment, as well as raises questions about the responsibility of those involved in the controversial photoshoot.
