Julia Garner Responds to the Real Anna Delvey's Thoughts About 'Inventing Anna' Series

Julia Garner is speaking out in response to the comments that the real Anna Delvey made about the new Netflix series Inventing Anna.

Anna actually sold the rights to her story to Netflix and spoke to Julia, who plays her in the series, while in prison. Despite being involved with the inception of the series, she said in a new essay for Insider that “it doesn’t look like [she’ll] be watching Inventing Anna anytime soon.”

She wrote, “Even if I were to pull some strings and make it happen, nothing about seeing a fictionalized version of myself in this criminal-insane-asylum setting sounds appealing to me. I was hoping that by the time Inventing Anna came out, I would’ve moved on with my life. I imagined for the show to be a conclusion of sorts summing up and closing of a long chapter that had come to an end.”

“Nearly four years in the making and hours of phone conversations and visits later, the show is based on my story and told from a journalist’s perspective. And while I’m curious to see how they interpreted all the research and materials provided, I can’t help but feel like an afterthought, the somber irony of being confined to a cell at yet another horrid correctional facility lost between the lines, the history repeating itself,” Anna added.

Julia opened up to ET about the time she spent with Anna and her response to the essay.

“Here’s the thing, I respect whatever Anna does in terms of whether she wants to watch the show or doesn’t want to watch the show. That’s her choice and that’s totally fine. She doesn’t have to watch the show,” Julia said.

She added, “I never made the show in anticipation, thinking that she’s going to watch it. If she did watch it, great. If not, that’s fine, too. I respect whatever she wants to do.”

Julia recently talked about the accent she used for the show!
