* UnintentionallySympathetic: The show has been criticized for making Rachel Williams look like a golddigger and fame-hungry attention hound, including by the real-life Rachel Williams. If audiences are to be believed, it did nothing of the sort and everyone who treated her poorly were wrong.

** It can take a while for viewers to come around on Neff. While her loyalty to a friend is admirable, her refusal for the first few episodes to even consider that Anna isn't a person worth trusting, when ''multiple'' people that Anna scammed tell her so, and then lashing out at said victims, just makes her look like an asshole.

** Vivian Kent is the actual star of ''Inventing Anna'', having most of the story from her perspective. However, Vivian sabotages Anna taking a plea deal and is primarily motivated by her belief the story is important but is actually just about a semi-successful con artist. Her statement that she's not interested in [=#MeToo=] also comes across as grossly insensitive.

Vivian sabotages Anna taking a plea deal and is primarily motivated by her belief the story is important but is actually just about a semi-successful con artist. artist.
*** Her lack of interest in preparing for the incoming birth of her baby and dumping it all on her husband in favor of working the story (she skips out on a doctor's visit in the first episode to go to Riker's to see Anna, as an example) makes her seem selfish to many viewers. Her freakout at finding out her baby's sex because of how it reminds her she's got a ticking clock to finish the story being the moment many viewers jumped ship on liking her.
***
Her statement that she's not interested in [=#MeToo=] also comes across as grossly insensitive.insensitive. While there may be some merit to her claim Paul is using the movement for the print version of clickbait, the way the script is written and acted makes it sound like Vivian is just using that claim to take a personal stab at Paul instead of being her genuine thoughts that it's too late for the story to do any good.
