Julia Fox, New York’s self-proclaimed “#1 hustler,” and fake heiress Anna “Delvey” Sorokin are apparently working on a project together.
More specifically, they’re teaming up on a “little something,” per Sorokin in a recent interview with The New York Times.
When asked about an Instagram Story Fox posted, proclaiming that Sorokin is “killing it from behind bars,” the fraudster — who is currently in ICE detention — explained that they met on IG when she was (briefly) out of prison.

“She has lots of interesting creative projects going on, and I feel like the media is not doing her justice talking about her dating life,” Sorokin said. (ICYMI: Fox and Ye have since broken up. RIP to the shortest, most breathlessly chronicled relationship in history.)
When pressed for more details on Fox x Sorokin, the latter replied: “Really soon.”
The news comes hot on the heels of Inventing Anna, Shonda Rhimes’s Netflix series dramatizing Sorokin’s rise and fall. A criticism many have levied agains the series, Rhimes seems to boil the scammer’s story down to a single, nuance-less conceit: Sorokin isn’t a criminal, she’s a girlboss!
Set to bouncy, bass-heavy dance tracks all the way through, the show pushes viewers to regard Sorokin as a woman who committed crimes because she was underestimated and treated poorly by a patriarchal society.

An unconvincing thesis, albeit an entertaining one. But Inventing Anna and Fox are on the same page when it comes to what constitutes quote-unquote girl power in this day and age.
Seemingly girlboss-ifying herself, Fox wrote of her split from Ye: “The media would love to paint a picture of me a sad lonely woman crying on a plane by myself but it’s NOT TRUE!! Why not see me for what I am which is a #1 hustler.”
Whatever Sorokin and Fox end up releasing, buckle up: we’re in for a very public spectacle.
