Anna Delvey is selling “Bunnygate” merch

It’s the cheekiest cash grab since Travis Scott’s viral “It’s Miami” T-shirts.

Anna Delvey is selling “Bunnygate” merch after the socialite scammer was wrongly accused of dumping some helpless rabbits in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park.

Delvey posted pics of herself in the edgy T-shirts featuring a picture of a cute rabbit with the words, “Missing,” “Have You Seen Me?” and “#Bunnygate.”

“Limited run. Unlimited shade. Stop abandoning domestic pets in parks, and stop trying to pin it on me!” Delvey posted.

For what it’s worth, 20% of the proceeds will go to charity, the ex-con says.

Delvey also posted on Instagram: “The scandal they couldn’t stop talking about, now on a shirt that demands what the law doesn’t: accountability for abandoned animals. Provide the market and the demand that keeps the Bunnghazi pseudo-story going.”

(Scott sold T-shirts that said, “It’s Miami,” with his mugshot after his 2024 Florida arrest for disorderly intoxication. The charges were later dropped, but the T-shirt remained.)

“Perfect for anyone who’s ever been wrongfully or rightfully accused, judged or misjudged, convicted or acquitted, or who aspires to be known for their well-knownness [sic]…. Wear the outrage and let the internet know you survived #Bunnygate,’ Delvey posted if her shirts.

The controversy all started earlier this month when Delvey did a photo shoot featuring some bunnies on leashes.

Someone later found the very same rabbits in Prospect Park, and accused Delvey online of dumping the cute creatures.

The newly minted animal activist exclusively told us of the merch play: “Doing merch was never part of my plan, but I’m truly grateful for all the support and encouragement I’ve received from the public.”

She added: “I’m also thankful to my friends and team members who were able to bring this idea to life so quickly. While I didn’t have to create or contribute anything at all, I felt it was important to do my part. This project is not only about raising awareness of the very real issue of domestic animal abandonment, but also about showing that even small efforts can make a difference. I’m proud to have contributed, and I hope this helps spark a broader conversation and inspires others to take action as well.”

It turned out that a member of the shoot’s ad hoc crew had obtained the rabbits via Facebook Marketplace gratis — but when they unsuccessfully tried to return them after the shoot, the volunteer “panicked” and left them in the park because they “believed, mistakenly, that there were existing rabbits in that area,” sources previously told us.

Delvey told Page Six at the time, “I do not eat meat, and I had no involvement in the acquisition, transport, or return of these animals. I would never condone these actions.”

Messages between the former “Dancing With the Stars” contestant, 34, and the team behind the shoot showed that she wasn’t involved in procuring the animals, and had no reason to believe that they wouldn’t be properly taken care of.

Delvey was previously dubbed the “Fake Heiress” after she posed as a German aristocrat to bilk individuals and businesses — including luxury hotels — out of more than $250,000 between 2013 and 2017.

She also hatched an ambitious plan to found a private members club and high-end shopping destination. But Delvey was arrested in 2017 and spent two years behind bars.

Upon release she was put into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, then later released into house arrest, until a judge said a year ago that she could roam NYC freely just in time to work her first New York Fashion Week, natch.

She was also the subject of the 2022 Netflix project, “Inventing Anna,” in which she was portrayed by Julia Garner.
