‘How many more times shall I apologize?’

Fake heiress Anna Sorokin got combative during an awkward interview with News Nation host Chris Cuomo, when he asked her about feeling remorseful for her crimes.

Sorokin, who for years duped New York’s by pretending she was a wealthy German heiress named Anna Delvey, was convicted in 2019 on a number of New York state charges related to her years-long scamming spree.

Speaking from her Manhattan apartment where she is currently under house arrest for overstaying her visa, Sorokin immediately got testy with Cuomo when he asked about her criminal conviction for scamming hundreds of thousands of dollars from banks, businesses and rich pals.

Cuomo noted that during the trial her defense team had requested a plea deal for just one to three years, which the judge rejected, citing Sorokin’s clear lack of remorse for her actions.

Instead, she was given a sentence of four to 12 years — higher than the prosecutors’ recommendation of three to nine years —  of which she ultimately served four.

“That did not happen,” the 32-year-old defiantly said of the judge denying her plea deal. “Where do you have that information from?

“That never happened, I had the option. Who reported that the judge declined the deal?” Sorokin said.

“The court records,” Cuomo says back and tries to move on from the awkward exchange.

The former CNN anchor then asks about if she’s tired of people asking her if she feels sorry about what she had done. 

She said she understands why people want to hear her apologize, but said she’s not going to apologize for things she didn’t do, especially for events that were depicted in the fictional Netflix series she inspired, “Inventing Anna.”

“You know you did do some of it, you were convicted by a jury” Cuomo points out, adding that she has not won anything on appeal.

She claimed that her criminal appeal is “still pending,” although it has not even been filed yet.

“I’m not responsible for how fast the system is moving, I’m sorry,” she snapped.

Cuomo told her that the appeal not pending because it hadn’t been filed: “Pending means its filed and being processed.”

“How familiar are you with the criminal justice system in New York?” Sorokin shot at Cuomo.

“Too familiar,” Cuomo quipped back quickly with a straight face. He asked her again if she had filed an appeal.

“Too familiar? It doesn’t sound like that,” Sorokin, clearly irritated, said. “Let’s say I did. My criminal appeal is pending. It’s publicly available information.”

Cuomo asked if remorse plays a role in allowing Sorokin to move forward.

“It does, I mean, and I said I regret a lot of decisions I made when I was younger and I think I should be afforded a chance to move on with my life. How many more times shall I apologize? I repaid my restitution in full before I was released from prison. How many people can say that?”

Sorokin had paid off her restitution, in part, from money she made working as a consultant on the Netflix series.

While still wearing an ankle bracelet pending her immigration appeal, Sorokin has launched a podcast, “The Anna Delvey Show,” which will feature a rotating roster of celebrity guests.
