The Real Rachel from 'Inventing Anna' Has Filed a Lawsuit Against Netflix - Here's Why

A source close to Meghan Markle today dismissed 'insane' and 'damaging' social media claims that she wore a microphone on her historic Windsor walkabout with Harry, William and Kate. The extraordinary claim was widely shared on Twitter because of a small rectangular mark on the waist of the Duchess of Sussex's demure black dress. Her critics began wildly guessing if she was wearing a microphone, suggesting that it was due to the couple's $100million deal with Netflix.

Kate Aurthur editor On Aug. 15, a coalition of showrunners, TV creators and directors sent a list of demands to studios, outlining the urgent need for abortion safety protocols for productions in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in June to overturn Roe v. Wade. It was the organization’s second letter — the studios had collectively answered the first one, sent on July 28 — with a response one member of the group, who spoke anonymously to Variety, called “patronizing” in an interview. The group’s second letter more clearly detailed the medical dangers for pregnant women in states where abortion is illegal because of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision — not only for those who want an abortion, but for women whose medical care might be otherwise compromised. Ignoring the collective response, which had been issued by the Motion Picture Association, the Aug. 15 appeal was sent directly to studio presidents, and members of the boards of directors at AMC Networks, Amazon Studios, Apple TV+, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount, The Walt Disney Company and Warner Bros. Discovery. They gave a deadline of Labor Day for responses from the studios.

Setting the record straight. Rachel DeLoache Williams is suing Netflix for false light invasion of privacy and defamation for how she was depicted in the series Inventing Anna.

Anna Delvey's former friend Rachel DeLoache Williams is suing Netflix for defamation over her portrayal in ‘Inventing Anna’. The former Vanity Fair staffer has launched legal action against the streaming service - who brought the story of the scammer socialite and how she fooled New York society into thinking she was a German heiress to life with showrunner Shonda Rhimes - after she alleges they invaded her privacy and defamed her through her depiction on the mini-series that starred Julia Garner and Anna Chlumsky.

Rachel Williams has filed a lawsuit against Netflix executives over her portrayal in Inventing Anna. The former photo editor and producer for Vanity Fair was played by Katie Lowes in the drama miniseries, which was released in February.

Inventing Anna subject Rachel Williams is suing Netflix for defamation over her portrayal in the series.The former Vanity Fair photo editor took offence over the way she was framed in the series in connection to con artist Anna Sorokin, and filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix on Monday (August 29).Williams is portrayed by Katie Lowes in the series, and the character at first accepts expensive gifts and holidays from Sorokin but eventually gives her up to the authorities.The real-life woman claims that her character in the show is fabricated, and the lawsuit filed in Delaware federal court, obtained by Deadline Hollywood, alleges it paints Williams in a negative light while using her real first and last name, as well as employment and school history.“This action will show that Netflix made a deliberate decision for dramatic purposes to show Williams doing or saying things in the Series which portray her as a greedy, snobbish, disloyal, dishonest, cowardly, manipulative and opportunistic person,” the lawsuit reads.Addressing one scene in particular which appears to show Williams abandoning Sorokin in Morroco, Williams claims she had told Sorokin she had to leave early for work.The lawsuit continues: “Williams did not stop being friends with Sorokin because Sorokin was having problems in Morocco, but rather because she subsequently discovered on her return to New York that Sorokin was a liar and a con artist whose statements and promises had induced Williams to incur liabilities of around $62,000 on Sorokin’s behalf were false, and who only reimbursed her $5,000 despite numerous promises to reimburse her $70,000 to account for the full debt and any late fees incurred.”Netflix has not commented on the case.
