“It’s like lots of people in your life telling you what they think of you, all at the same time,” she explained, noting that many friends and associates consulted on the project.
She turned away from the screen depicting disputes with her lawyer, Todd Spodek, with whom she remains close. But talking about the show felt harder, she said. Sorokin is accustomed to dissecting painful life choices. “It’s weird to watch your own life owned by somebody else.” (Sorokin sold her life rights to the show’s creators for $320,000.) She added: “It’s a good exercise in letting go.” Now, talking through a corrections facility video chat-the background clouded, a single recessed light visible overhead, and the feed blinking out whenever she moves the tablet slightly-she reflects on the Netflix show. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office. After fulfilling her minimum sentence last February, she was rearrested on March 25 at the lower Manhattan U.S. She has passed through seven corrections facilities across New York and New Jersey since her 2017 arrest. After a judge sentenced her to 4 to 12 years in prison, she told me in interviews at Rikers that she was “ not sorry”-and, laughing, said she would “probably” do it all again.

Sorokin kept a stolid face for much of the first two minutes of the pilot episode.

Dressed in a short-sleeve yellow jumpsuit and oversize glasses, Anna Sorokin smiled slightly as the bright red N of Netflix swelled onto the screen, the letter splitting into a rainbow of colors.
