Inventing Anna

[Anonymous]

Rachel is a total mooch but NYC is full of Rachels.

Every elite friend group in NYC has 3 stereotypical people: the mooch, the one whose dad is politically aligned & can make transgressions disappear, and the one who acts like the mom to keep everyone in line.

I’m halfway through the last episode and the defending lawyer’s cross-examination of Rachel was masterful. I’m really surprised the prosecutor didn’t object more, especially when he started his shpiel about the book and TV deals

What I don't understand is, was everyone expecting Anna to pay for everyone's hotel room?
I could understand an occasional meal, but the next round is on you. Never would I think someone would pay for my hotel room

It was way more than a hotel room.

Yes, because she invited them and said “I want to go to this specific hotel and I will pay for it” and knew that Rachel would not be able to afford it.

This is how it went:

Anna floated the idea of a vacation. Rachel was like, cool, let’s go to [insert locations with modest accommodations that I can afford on my photo editor salary] and Anna was like, no I am not ~PAHR~, let’s go to Morocco and while we’re at it stay in this extremely expensive apartment. And Rachel told Anna that was way out of her budget and Anna said, don’t worry, airfare and the hotel are on me, would you mind booking the airfare and I’ll pay you back when my bank wires me the money?

After watching that 60 minutes video, I realized the actresses’ accent is actually pretty damn accurate!

What I don’t understand is why so many people were fooled by the long delays in a bank wiring money or foreign credit cards not working. It’s not the 1950s! Do they not realize how global commerce works?

Poor. In Anna’s garbled Russian-German accent.

I don't know I looked at Rachel's Instagram from that year. She had other overseas trips including a long stint in France. I earn almost 3X as much as she claims to have earned and I haven't been running off to any European vacations. Then again, I don't have rich friends to supplement my lifestyle.

She wasn’t even that cute. Not sure how she pulled it all off for that long.

Everyone involved was a moocher. The bankers wanted her fees $, the friends wanted her lifestyle. She's not the only one to blame. They wanted her to be real.
