Anna Delvey Photoshoot Bunnies Abandoned Rescued New York

Anna Delvey, the convicted con artist known for posing as a wealthy heiress, recently faced widespread backlash after domesticated bunnies used in her New York City photoshoot were abandoned in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. While Delvey posted photos with the rabbits, she claimed she was horrified and unaware that her assistant had dumped the animals, a claim supported by the assistant Christian Batty's apology for panicking and releasing the bunnies. Social media users and local rescuers quickly mobilized to find and care for the abandoned rabbits, with all three eventually rescued and fostered, though one still awaited a permanent home. Delvey responded angrily to accusations on social media, threatening legal action against critics, but evidence showed she was not directly responsible for the animal neglect. The incident has added to Delvey's controversial public image, already marked by her history of fraud and imprisonment, and has sparked discussions about ethical treatment of animals used in publicity stunts. Despite the outrage, Delvey remains active on social media, continuing to cultivate her influencer persona while on house arrest.
