Rachel Williams, a friend of Anna Sorokin’s who ultimately assisted authorities in having her arrested, claims ‘Inventing Anna’ is a “hatchet job”
On Monday the writer Rachel Williams, a former friend of Sorokin’s, filed a lawsuit alleging defamation and false light invasion of privacy by Netflix, according to documents obtained by Deadline, claiming the show’s portrayal of her was a “hatchet job”. The lawsuit was filed by Alex Rufus-Issacs, Williams’s lawyer, in District Court in Delaware, Netflix’s home base.
In the lawsuit, Williams, a former photo editor at Vanity Fair, claims that the show portrayed her in an unflattering light. She alleges that nearly every detail of the character based on her is fabricated.

It'll be interesting to see how this is going to go because my understanding is that her character was based on how she was depicted in the story that she actually wrote...so for it to be 'fabricated' wouldnt she have had to be the one who fabricated it?
