Where is Neff from The Invention of Anna now?

Everyone has an opinion about Anna Delvey (opens in new tab). The infamous con artist who became famous for conning New York's elite is once again taking the Internet by storm thanks to the Netflix hit "Inventing Anna" (opens in a new tab). Alexis Floyd plays Nev, Delvey's best friend, who has been by her side throughout the trial and even runs an Instagram dedicated to her trial look.

The real-life Neff (full name: Neff Davis) is one of Delvey's best friends to this day. An aspiring filmmaker, she served as a consultant for all nine episodes. She is currently pursuing her dream in LA (and still running Delvey's Instagram).

In real life, Davis met Delvey while working at 11 Howard in Soho and got caught up in her world of "fancy New York restaurants, expensive apartment hunting, and having Delvey pay her rent." She also stayed by Delvey's side throughout the trial.

After the Shondaland show was announced, Rhimes made Davis a consultant for the series. Shonda first said, "I'll buy your life rights and you'll be a consultant." I was able to go to the set and shadow Nzinga [Stewart], a wonderful black filmmaker," Davis told the outlet.

Speaking to Bustle (opens in new tab) about her experience, Davis said, "Shonda is the GOAT. It was amazing. Shondaland and Shonda made me feel like I always had a comfort blanket. I was involved in the development of my character. I was able to go on set. I worked closely with the head of research at Shondaland while doing consulting work. It was literally a dream come true. They nurtured my love for the film and didn't treat me like just another character."

Davis also told OkayPlayer that Delvey once told him that it was thanks to her that the filmmaker's first film was made.

"Looking back now, she kept her word in a wicked, dark, twisted way, like a Tim Burton movie. She kept her word."

The Maryland native has remained relatively private, along with her Instagram account (opens in new tab) According to Newsweek (opens in new tab), Davis now lives in Los Angeles, pursuing her dream of becoming a director and recently wrote her first Davis is currently living in Los Angeles, pursuing his dream of becoming a director, and recently wrote his first television script for a film. Davis also told Okayplayer that people who have learned of her story have reached out to her to see her work.

"I've gotten over my nervousness that people would hate it, and I'm ready to show it to the world. Hopefully this summer I can decide who I want to give my film and script to and start shooting," she told the outlet.

Davis and Delvey are still very close, so much so that Davis runs Delvey's official Instagram.In an interview with Bustle (opens in new tab), Davis said, "Anna is my friend and always will be. We needed to get to know each other again and establish healthy boundaries. We block and unblock each other, cry and laugh. I understand her."

Davis also stated that she does not believe that Delvey is a con artist because "Anna has never scammed me or seen her be less than legitimate." She added that the scammer never told her about her crimes and said she "would have told Anna to make a GoFundMe instead of bank hopping."

The real-life Neff's thoughts about Rachel Williams also seem similar to the show's version. Asked why "Inventing Anna" portrayed Neff as unsympathetic toward Rachel, Davis said, "I don't know why Shondaland did that. But I liked it. White people are sympathetic enough. Besides, Rachel got paid handsomely from her book and AMEX forgave her claims. Why should we feel sorry for her?
