Hey, I'm Kate Lindsay.

And I'm Sachi Cole, and you're listening to I see why am I.

In case you missed it.

Slate's podcast about internet culture. Sachi, number one, welcome. Thanks. Good to have you here as a co-host. I feel like I'm kind of scam fluencing right now. A little. We're all ripping someone off. Oh, I should have, I'm watching you immediately. You brought a Diet Coke in. I should have brought mine. I'm ready to go. I brought my water in my rise and shine mug because that felt

appropriate for today, but I won't jump the gun because I do want to talk about one other

thing before we talk about today's larger subject. And it actually is because you are a host of

scan fluencers that you are the first person I wanted to talk to about the Anna Delvey abandoned bunnies controversy.

Have you seen this? Are you familiar? I think so. Anna Delvey did a photo shoot in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, I believe, and with a bunch of rabbits. Yeah. And the rabbits have

been left. So what's interesting, for those who weren't tuned in sort of the first era of Anna Delvey,

Anna Delvey is kind of perhaps one of the women who kicked off this sort of scamming obsession.

And really what she did was just kind of grift her way in hotels. What was it?

It was hotels and it was like restaurants and just living way above her means off of other people's

money for a very, very long time. Yeah. And she was just sort of like a vaguely foreign party girl in New York who was stealing people's money and going to nice restaurants and dressing.

Like she had recently destroyed all of her mirrors.

Yes. And did we ever get to the bottom of her accent?

No, and I don't think we ever will.

I don't need to know.

It's not necessary. I know that it's there.

But it was like a big cut story and everybody was tripping over themselves about it.

Yeah.

The bunnies traveled because the photo shoot is on West Broadway in Soho.

Oh.
