Anna Sorokin says she received hundreds of death threats over bunnies abandoned in Brooklyn park
Anna "Delvey" Sorokin says she's received hundreds of death threats in the days since was was accused of dumping pet rabbits she posed with for a photoshoot in a Brooklyn park. The fake German heiress who stole tens of thousands of dollars from banks posed alongside three bunnies on the streets of Manhattan's posh Tribeca neighborhood last week. The bunnies were recognized and discovered in Brooklyn's Prospect Park days later, prompting fierce online backlash. But the headline-making New York City socialite — who vehemently denied responsibility for the discarded bunnies — said in an interview with NBC News that she's particularly shocked by the strong reaction over the incident. 'It just seems to me like everything I do is just wrong," Sorokin, 34, said in a phone call with NBC News. "I can never do right by these people.' Sorokin shared screenshots of dozens of hateful messages she's received within the last few days to her Instagram — which she called "unusable" — with NBC News. Some of them suggest that she she should be killed or take her own life, including one that advises Sorokin to get someone to "make a carpet out of your skin." 'It seems like a lot of these people, just because they're engaged in animal rescue, they feel like they're entitled to insult you or talk to you or say anything because they're hiding behind this thing that they're doing,' she said. The 34-year-old, whose life was depicted in Netflix's hit 2022 series "Inventing Anna," took the photoshoot with the bunnies on August 3 to create content for her Instagram account, which has more than 1.1 million followers. Shortly before the shoot, she posted on Instagram story asking if any of her followers in the New York City metropolitan area had a pet rabbit she could borrow for the shoot, Sorokin said. Christian Batty, a 19-year-old hair stylist Sorokin met briefly last year, reached out to her and offered what he described as a friend's rabbits, she said. Sorokin added that she paid Batty to provide the rabbits and for his Uber to return the rabbits to their owner in Yonkers — or so she thought. A screenshot of the Uber receipt Sorokin shared with NBC News show the ride's drop off location was just south of Prospect Park, where the rabbits were later spotted. Days later, she said she started receiving messages on social media about the rabbits being spotted in Prospect Park. A Facebook user posted images of the domesticated bunnies in the park to a public Facebook group dedicated to rabbits, House Rabbit Society, and other users connected them to Sorokin's photos. Sorokin initially thought the posts were fake, but the flood of messages did not stop. At first, Batty denied dumping the rabbits in the park, according to screenshots of text messages between Sorokin, Batty and photographer Jasper Soloff that Sorokin posted on her Instagram story and shared with NBC News. "Jasper had no knowledge or input as to how the bunnies were obtained or what happened to them after the photo shoot," Soloff's attorney, Gary Adelman, said in a statement. Batty did not immediately return a request for comment. Hours later, Batty confessed that he did dump the rabbits and absolved Sorokin of any involvement, according to a statement he posted to his Instagram account, which has since been taken down. "When I realized the rabbits were being surrendered to me, I panicked," Batty said in the statement, screenshots of which were provided by Sorokin. "At 19, with no experience caring for animals, no pet-friendly housing, and no knowledge of available resources, I felt overwhelmed and made the worst possible choice." "Believing, mistakenly, that there were existing rabbits in that area, I released them there, thinking that was my best option," he added. Sorokin pushed back on the notion that Batty's age was an issue. "He's old enough to move to New York and live on his own, he should have enough common sense to handle rabbits," Sorokin said. "We're not like asking him to do anything that requires high IQ from him. I just don't know what to say." Sorokin said that she was concerned about how the incident might affect her pending immigration case. Sorokin was convicted by a Manhattan jury in April 2019 on four counts of theft services, three counts of grand larceny and one count of attempted grand larceny after being accused of defrauding banks and friends of tens of thousands of dollars. Prosecutors said that Sorokin convinced friends and businesses to loan her money to afford a lavish lifestyle under the guise that she was the daughter of a oil baron or diplomat, worth tens of millions of dollars. In 2021, Sorokin was released on parole while she fights deportation. She has been forced to wear an electronic ankle monitor and cannot leave a 75-mile house arrest radius based in New York. "This time, I've done nothing wrong," she said. "And I had the best intentions and it's really frustrating." The New York Times reported that the rabbits were rescued by blogger Terry Chao, who spotted the rabbits in the park. Chao could not immediately be reached for comment. Sorokin said she donated $1,000 to the group All About Rabbits Rescue in the aftermath of the scandal. She also denied harming the rabbits by putting them in leashes, as some have suggested online. "I don't know, I'm not a bunny professional. I didn't know the leashes were such a big deal," she said. "We would put them down for, I don't know, a minute or two, take a picture and pick them up. We were not walking them by any means. And they seemed to be happy."

How to spot a fake Labubu: Pop Mart's advice for getting the real deal
Can you tell the difference between a Labubu and its imposter, the Lafufu? This is the question "Good Morning America" posed last month when we tracked down one of each of the plush toys, asked collectors to weigh in and got Pop Mart's thoughts on the matter. Keep reading to find what we learned. Labubu vs. Lafufu: What are they? Labubus are plush toys on keychains that are based on characters created by Hong Kong-born Belgian artist Kasing Lung. They typically feature oversized eyes, tall rabbit-like ears, and serrated, toothy grins. They have fur-covered heads and bodies but bare feet and hands. Chinese brand Pop Mart picked up the characters and transformed them into a collectible series in 2019, leading to their current global popularity. Lafufus are counterfeit versions of Labubus that have proliferated in the wake of the original's popularity, with everyone from street vendors to Facebook sellers either selling them outright as fakes or attempting to pass them off as originals in order to profit off the scarcity of the original. Why are Labubus so popular? "GMA" got in touch with Pop Mart to inquire on the toys' popularity and why it believes Labubus have been such a sensation. While celebrity fans of the plush "always help drive awareness," a company representative said, "Pop Mart's sales momentum is primarily rooted in sustained fan engagement and global expansion." "Our growth has been powered by a passionate collector base, organic creator content and consistent demand across a wide range of IPs -- from SKULLPANDA and Peach Riot to Molly and CRYBABY," they said. "These cultural moments are great visibility boosters and part of a much larger fandom story." For more insight, "GMA" asked Labubu collector and enthusiast Ensito to weigh in and found his explanation to be a combination of cuteness and exclusivity. "It's just a little bit of a high, like, trying to like get yourself in a position where you can get that exclusive thing that everybody wants," Ensito explained. "And let's face it, when [Blackpink's] Lisa wore them on her purse, obviously all of us were like, 'What?! Lisa's wearing them?!' Like, why not?" He added, "I collect designer bags as well. So for me, it was kind of like, 'What can I put on my bag to be, like, really cute and trendy?'" Spotting the differences Naturally, when something becomes this viral and hard to find, the copycats aren't far behind. "GMA" asked Pop Mart how to ensure you're getting a real Labubu while shopping, and the company reiterated the importance of purchasing directly through Pop Mart or going through a verified retailer to avoid buying a counterfeit product. The list of authenticated vendors is a fairly short one: Pop Mart retail stores, the Pop Mart app, Robo Shops, the store's official TikTok Shop, verified third-party retailers like Amazon's official Pop Mart storefront and official Pop Mart booths at events like San Diego Comic-Con. "This is true for all character collections," the representative added, "whether it's Labubu, SKULLPANDA or seasonal drops." If you're still planning to shop outside of one of these retailers, however, they offered some tips. "[Our] figures are renowned for their clean sculpting and meticulous paint application," the representative said, which means any sloppy or chipping paint on the eyes, teeth or nose can be an easy red flag to spot. Labubus will also come with official branding and packaging, and each figure comes with Pop Mart tags and artist attribution, depending on the series. The Lafufu "GMA" acquired, for example, was easy to spot as counterfeit because of glaring spelling mistakes on the top tag. The stitching on that Lafufu was also noticeably lower quality than that of the Labubu, as you can see in the uneven edges, and it did not have the correct number of teeth, which is exactly nine. As with this particular Lafufu, the mistakes can be obvious, and -- to some collectors -- even charming. Bizarre or warped faces, misshapen bodies and other differentiating factors can be funny, with many Labubu collectors opting to nab the more standout fakes as part of their larger collection. Many Lafufus, though, are nearly indistinguishable from their authentic counterparts. One common scam, for example, involves counterfeiters acquiring authentic Labubu boxes but replacing the toy inside with a Lafufu before carefully resealing the flap and attempting to pass it off as authentic. Pop Mart said it has tried to counteract measures like these and began stepping up security features in its 2024 releases, including an engraved Pop Mart tag and the artist name on the figure's foot, as well as QR code on the figure's tag linking to the official Pop Mart website for verification, where you can type in your confirmation number to authenticate the toy. By contrast, Lafufus or other counterfeit products will likely not include these details. When asked for any final thoughts on spotting the difference between Labubus and Lafufus, Pop Mart reiterated, "We encourage fans to shop directly from Pop Mart and official retail partners to guarantee safety and product authenticity."
