Anna Delvey is looking forward to “exciting” life changes since being released from house arrest.
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly at the “UPRISE 2025: The Art of Resistance” event at Tribeca’s Untitled Space, Delvey said she’s just snagged her own apartment after living with publicist Kelly Cutrone in upstate New York.
Moving into her home is “going to be exciting,” she said on Saturday, March 8. “It’s only been two weeks. I just had my friends [over], they’ve been doing my hair and we were getting ready. It’s all over the place. I’m still unpacking, getting furniture, and everything. It’s so nice to be back in the city full-time.”

Delvey also said she’s working on more art. “I’m hoping to create some new pieces in my new space because new spaces are always inspirational,” she explained. “We’re working on a show with Kelly Cutrone. And probably my own fashion brand. Let’s see, you’ve gotta stay tuned.”

Delvey was on hand to showcase two of her pieces in the UPRISE show. One was made while she was on house arrest, Delvey told Us, while another was from a photo shoot on her balcony. “It was a fire escape at my East Village apartment. And yeah, it’s like one of the relics of the past. I’m so excited to have it included in here,” she explained.
If there’s one thing Delvey is enjoying the most, it’s having the freedom to live her life again. “You can only appreciate freedom once you’ve been on house arrest,” she said. “So it’s so nice to be out and not having to have everyone in my own home. It’s so exciting to order an Uber, go somewhere else and leave afterwards.”
Delvey, who was born Anna Sorokin, moved to New York in 2013. She spent the following four years pretending to be a wealthy heiress so that she could gain access to influential circles in the city’s social and art scenes. While working at Purple magazine, she created a fake private members club and created fake financial documents to prove her alleged multimillion euro trust fund.
Delvey was arrested in 2018 and served two years in prison after she was convicted of grand larceny, second-degree larceny and theft of services. In October 2022, she was released from prison into house arrest. Netflix developed her story into the miniseries Inventing Anna that same year.

After competing on season 33 of Dancing With the Stars, Delvey returned to the show in November 2024 for the season finale.
Her appearance on the popular reality series was a source of debate for fans, some of whom criticized her for not “embracing” the opportunity to compete on DWTS. The show’s cameras often highlighted Delvey’s ankle bracelet during her two-week stint on the series.
