Along with Darlene Williams, Duke co-hosts the podcast Real Ass Women, where she interviews successful business women.[4][6]
Friendship with Anna Sorokin
Duke became affiliated with Anna Sorokin, a Russian con artist posing as a German heiress using the name "Anna Delvey", when she was hired to be Sorokin's personal trainer and life coach.[4][6] Sorokin, who had found Duke online, paid Duke $4,500 in cash for a package of sessions.[4][6][8] Duke accompanied Sorokin and Rachel DeLoache Williams on a trip to La Mamounia in Marrakech in May 2017.[4][2] She was sick for the majority of the vacation, and booked a flight back to the United States with Williams' help.[4][2] After Duke left Morocco, Sorokin pressured Williams to pay for the $62,000 trip when her credit card was declined.[4] After Sorokin started experiencing financial trouble and was kicked out of the hotel she had been residing at, Duke let her stay at her apartment.[4][6] In August 2017, Duke attempted to stage an intervention for Sorokin at the Frying Pan Bar in Manhattan.[4][2] A day after the attempted intervention, Duke and Williams became aware of an ongoing criminal investigation against Sorokin.[4][9]
