The spokesperson added that she has been released on an ankle monitor while her appeal of removal is heard.
Background on the Case In 2019 a Manhattan court convicted Sorokin of second-degree larceny, attempted grand larceny, and theft of services. The charges stemmed from unpaid hotel bills and other services totaling tens of thousands of dollars between 2017 and 2018.
