Inventing Anna starring Julia Garner is causing even more legal troubles
The tv series starring Julia Garner is now in a complete mess. Rachel DeLoache Williams, a former Vanity Fair staffer and erstwhile friend of Anna Delvey, filed a lawsuit against Netflix. The suit was charged with defamation over her portrayal in the series inspired by actual events. According to her, many of the instances from the series were overly exaggerated and fictitious. William also claimed that nearly everything about her character in the Netflix show was made up.
The lawsuit states that the show consists of 16 defamatory statements about the former Vanity staff. “Netflix purposely used my real name, and real aspects of my life, to create a totally false and defamatory characterization of me,” Williams told the Hollywood Reporter.

Netflix has portrayed William as a greedy and snobbish person whom Anna bribed in the form of generous gifts and extravagant vacations time and again to get her work done. While in reality, this was never the case. William had suffered heavy liabilities and losses because of Anna Sorokin’s numerous fake promises and lies.

It contains severe complications and plottings that need proper screenplay. Especially when the trials against the real-life character are still ongoing, and the courts have not tied any ends yet.
Since we do not have any specific verdict or decisions on the lawsuit yet, this will drag on forever. To get updates on the latest news on the same, stay tuned with us.
