It’s almost expected, and then nothing happens.”įeminist, underdog thing aside-the podcast’s main purpose is to get answers from Delvey, who’s only seen clips of Netflix’s Inventing Anna that journalists have shown her: How does she know Aby Rosen, for instance? And did she use a voice changing app to impersonate her family’s “finance manager?” At the tail end of the episode, Fox reads a few comments from DeuxMoi, the modern-day Gossip Girl-esque Instagram account, which specializes in celebrity rumors and sightings. “White men do that all the time-lie about their finances, take out loans.
