Anna Sorokin has had another headline-stealing stretch, with her name surfacing across social media, tabloid columns, and national outlets for a cocktail of controversy and reinvention.

She vehemently denied dumping the bunnies, insisting the photos were meant to be playful and that she’s hardly an expert in rabbit leashing etiquette.
