New Yorkers were left stunned after Anna Sorokin, the convicted fraudster known for posing as a wealthy heiress, orchestrated a bizarre and unsettling photoshoot involving live rabbits in a public park—only to abandon the scene shortly after.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing Sorokin, who served prison time for grand larceny, directing photographers and stylists as they positioned distressed rabbits in unnatural poses. The animals were later found scattered across the park, prompting outrage from animal rights activists and local residents.
Public Backlash
"It was grotesque," said one passerby. "The rabbits looked terrified, and then she just walked away." Authorities were alerted, but Sorokin had already left the area by the time they arrived.
History of Controversy
This isn't the first time Sorokin has made headlines for questionable behaviour. After her release from prison, she has continued to court controversy, leveraging her notoriety for media attention.
Animal welfare groups have condemned the incident, calling for an investigation into potential cruelty. Meanwhile, Sorokin has yet to comment publicly on the backlash.
