<p>Inventing Anna is a limited series on Netflix created by Shonda Rhimes. Jessica Pressler’s article for the New York magazine, "How Anna Delvey Tricked New York's Party People" inspired the series.

As such, Rhimes did make significant changes to the story when adapting it into a miniseries. Here are all the changes:</p><h3>Vivian Kent, her behavior, and her office</h3><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27647" src="https://netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/AAAAQYvs0qIkSDq9dM1LV75nFo2OBoT9bnmcIWIVPQmlocnPtHTfvaI2oRJZFxmn3KiHnHXp2-KdyVFDbCN1-XCQr9C_qqzkORXwPiQUffx6-UqellrHVnVgcOLO73YllbI9QHkaINq7-rs-0u1jqy3Hz4LhzJA-1140x600-1.jpg" alt="" width="1140" height="600" /></p><p>Vivian Kent is the fictional version of Jessica Pressler, a New York magazine writer. In the show, Kent works for a fictional Manhattan Magazine, with <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-originals-inventing-anna-heres-how-the-alluring-manhattan-office-came-to-life-in-the-show/">its pink office</a>. Aside from these changes, the show also portrayed the journalist as more desperate than in real life. For instance, Pressler never attempted to break into Delvey’s parent’s house in Germany or have a conspiracy mapping in her child’s nursing room.</p><h3>More concealed identities</h3><p>Aside from Kent, more identities of people involved in the Delvey case was concealed in the show. For instance, Delvey’s lawyer <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-alan-reed-from-inventing-anna-who-was-anna-delveys-lawyer-in-real-life/">Andrew Lance became Alan Reed</a> in the show. Similarly, her mentor Nora Redford is also a fictional version of a person.</p><h3>Anna’s boyfriend</h3><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27648" src="https://netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/1x-1.jpg" alt="" width="2200" height="1467" /></p><p>In real life, we don’t have confirmed news about Anna Delvey’s boyfriend at the time of the con but we feel <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/inventing-anna-fraudsters-real-life-boyfriends-identity-revealed/">Hunter Lee Soik</a> could be the rumored boyfriend. However, in the show, we have a boyfriend, Chase Sikorski, who is the founder of an app, Wake. Inventing Anna shows Delvey coming up with the idea of Anna Delvey Foundation during the relationship. Real Anna says she got the idea after the relationship ended.</p><h3>Stealing a jet and more</h3><p>Anna has done some unbelievable things in real life but some of these were highly dramatized (and a few completely made up) in the show. For instance, Delvey claims she never over extended her stay in a friend’s yacht or ran up a bill of $400,000 at Bergdorf Goodman. </p><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27649" src="https://netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/1200x-1.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" /></p><p>What is true, however, is the scene where she steals a private jet. What the show didn’t mention was that she conned the company as well.</p><h3>The Rikers interview</h3><p>In <i>Inventing Anna</i>, Vivian Kent sets up a VIP interview with Anna at Rikers, complete with ceramic mugs and tea. However, real Anna says there is only machine coffee in the jail and certainly no ceramic mugs. The “VIP” treatment wasn’t exactly VIP.</p><h3>The fake German(s)</h3><p>The show has one <a href="https://collider.com/inventing-anna-changes-from-real-story/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">German accountant</a>, Peter Hennecke, whom Anna creates to prove the validity of her trust fund. Anna uses a voice changing app to fool Alan Reed and others that the accountant was indeed talking to them when it was her. In real life, there was one more such accountant, Bettina Wagner.</p><p><b>ALSO READ:</b> <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-no-one-introduces-themselves-like-that-anna-sorokin-opens-about-her-german-heiress-trope-following-inventing-anna/">“No One Introduces Themselves Like That”: Anna Sorokin Opens About Her German Heiress Trope Following Inventing Anna</a></p><h2>What are the thoughts of the real Anna on the show?</h2><p>Anna Delvey Sorokin wasn’t a huge fan of the show. In fact, before the show debuted on Netflix, she swore it off, citing that she felt <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-anna-delvey-denigrates-netflix-before-inventing-anna-release-i-felt-like-an-afterthought/">unseen during the process</a>.

<h2>What changes has the show made in the real story?</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">For a true-crime series, Inventing Anna episodes each started with the disclaimer that explicitly mention the use of fiction elements. As such, Rhimes did make significant changes to the story when adapting it into a miniseries. Here are all the changes:</span>
<h3>Vivian Kent, her behavior, and her office</h3>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27647" src="https://netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/AAAAQYvs0qIkSDq9dM1LV75nFo2OBoT9bnmcIWIVPQmlocnPtHTfvaI2oRJZFxmn3KiHnHXp2-KdyVFDbCN1-XCQr9C_qqzkORXwPiQUffx6-UqellrHVnVgcOLO73YllbI9QHkaINq7-rs-0u1jqy3Hz4LhzJA-1140x600-1.jpg" alt="" width="1140" height="600" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">Vivian Kent is the fictional version of Jessica Pressler, a New York magazine writer. In the show, Kent works for a fictional Manhattan Magazine, with </span><a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-originals-inventing-anna-heres-how-the-alluring-manhattan-office-came-to-life-in-the-show/"><span style="font-weight: 400">its pink office</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">. Aside from these changes, the show also portrayed the journalist as more desperate than in real life. For instance, Pressler never attempted to break into Delvey’s parent’s house in Germany or have a conspiracy mapping in her child’s nursing room.</span>
<h3>More concealed identities</h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Aside from Kent, more identities of people involved in the Delvey case was concealed in the show. For instance, Delvey’s lawyer </span><a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-alan-reed-from-inventing-anna-who-was-anna-delveys-lawyer-in-real-life/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Andrew Lance became Alan Reed</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> in the show. Similarly, her mentor Nora Redford is also a fictional version of a person.</span>
<h3>Anna’s boyfriend</h3>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27648" src="https://netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/1x-1.jpg" alt="" width="2200" height="1467" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">In real life, we don’t have confirmed news about Anna Delvey’s boyfriend at the time of the con but we feel </span><a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/inventing-anna-fraudsters-real-life-boyfriends-identity-revealed/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Hunter Lee Soik</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> could be the rumored boyfriend. However, in the show, we have a boyfriend, Chase Sikorski, who is the founder of an app, Wake. Inventing Anna shows Delvey coming up with the idea of Anna Delvey Foundation during the relationship. Real Anna says she got the idea after the relationship ended.</span>
<h3>Stealing a jet and more</h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Anna has done some unbelievable things in real life but some of these were highly dramatized (and a few completely made up) in the show. For instance, Delvey claims she never over extended her stay in a friend’s yacht or ran up a bill of $400,000 at Bergdorf Goodman. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">What is true, however, is the scene where she steals a private jet. What the show didn’t mention was that she conned the company as well.</span>
<h3>The Rikers interview</h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400">In </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">Inventing Anna</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">, Vivian Kent sets up a VIP interview with Anna at Rikers, complete with ceramic mugs and tea. However, real Anna says there is only machine coffee in the jail and certainly no ceramic mugs. The “VIP” treatment wasn’t exactly VIP.</span>
<h3>The fake German(s)</h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The show has one </span><a href="https://collider.com/inventing-anna-changes-from-real-story/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400">German accountant</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, Peter Hennecke, whom Anna creates to prove the validity of her trust fund. Anna uses a voice changing app to fool Alan Reed and others that the accountant was indeed talking to them when it was her. In real life, there was one more such accountant, Bettina Wagner.</span>

<h2>What are the thoughts of the real Anna on the show?</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Anna Delvey Sorokin wasn’t a huge fan of the show. In fact, before the show debuted on Netflix, she swore it off, citing that she felt </span><a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-anna-delvey-denigrates-netflix-before-inventing-anna-release-i-felt-like-an-afterthought/"><span style="font-weight: 400">unseen during the process</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">. However, she did </span><a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/she-julia-garner-came-to-see-me-at-albion-and-shes-a-very-sweet-girl-claims-anna-delvey-in-julia-foxs-podcast/"><span style="font-weight: 400">complement Julia Garner</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> for the accent and approach during the</span><a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/reel-life-anna-delvey-meets-real-life-anna-delvey-in-prison-both-are-excited-for-netflixs-inventing-anna/"><span style="font-weight: 400"> jail visit</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">. Garner, too, was amiable and didn’t mind </span><a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-inventing-anna-julia-garner-answers-anna-delveys-criticism-i-respect-whatever-she-wants-to-do/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Delvey not watching the show</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Anna, however, is not done sharing her story. In an interview, she had shared that she is</span><a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/anna-sorokin-discusses-about-her-time-in-detention-and-more/"><span style="font-weight: 400"> working on multiple projects</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> to get her story out there.
