Now that she’s out of jail, they’re lining up to pimp out accused madam Anna Gristina.
Among the media outlets reportedly vying for a piece of the mom of four is Animal Planet. Sources said the Discovery channel show was approached by folks claiming to represent Gristina about a possible reality show focused on her pig-rescue efforts.
But Gristina defense lawyer Norman Pattis told The Post he’s not brokering any such deal, noting “I am not aware of any discussions by her legal team regarding the pigs or a reality TV show.”
While Gristina may mull future television offers, Pattis said his client – who has been charged with a single count of promoting prostitution – is focused on preparing her case.
Gristina, 44, was involved in rescuing pot-bellied pigs at her upstate Monroe farmhouse before her February arrest. She had to send all but two to other farms while she sat in Rikers for four months, because her family couldn’t afford to care for them.
Prosecutors claim Gristina made millions off a high-end prostitution ring.
But her family claims it is flat broke, and can’t even pay the utility bills at their modest, sparsely furnished rental home. Husband Kelvin Gorr and Anna’s eldest daughter, Suzie, said they’ve had to borrow money for groceries, and friends and neighbors have been helping stock the cupboards with canned goods.
Gristina was sprung from Rikers Wednesday after a longtime family friend, Bonnie Lunt, put up her $1 million Upper East Side condo to make Gristina’s $250,000 bond.
That night, after exchanging long hugs with her kids and being swarmed by her menagerie of dogs, Gristina made a beeline from her kitchen to her laundry room to see Gertie, one of the remaining rescue pigs.
“Gertie, I’m home!” a gleeful Gristina crowed, bending down to hug the sleeping swine.
Gristina said she hopes to keep a low profile and get back to her routine as a mom.
“This weekend I’m going to Home Depot,” she said. “I need to get the tomatoes planted.”
