On Monday, the name Casey Anthony began trending on X, leading those of us of a certain age to wonder what that could possibly be about. For those not familiar with the name, Anthony became a household name in 2008 when she was charged with the first-degree murder of her two-year-old daughter Caylee Marie Anthony.
Her daughters remains were tragically found in a laundry bag near Anthony’s house. Ultimately, a jury found Casey not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated manslaughter of a child. The defense claimed that Caylee Anthony drowned accidentally in the family swinging pool and that Casey Anthony’s father had disposed of the body.
It was a landmark case and many of those who followed it still believe Anthony was guilty. Fast forward to Monday, and Anthony is back in the news. This time, it was for much different news.
Casey Anthony Rebrands Herself As A ‘Legal Advocate’ In First Video On TikTok
In 2020, Anthony opened her own private investigation firm. Now, Anthony made her debut on TikTok and announced that she was starting both the TikTok account and a Substack as a “legal advocate.”
“I’ve been in the legal field since 2011, and in this capacity I feel that it’s necessary, if I’m going to continue to operate appropriately as a legal advocate, that I start to advocate for myself and also advocate for my daughter,” she said, telling people to email her should they have legal problems.
“My goal is to continue to help give a voice to people, to give people tools and resources that they can utilize.”
Unsurprisingly, social media users were not particularly keen on the idea of Anthony returning to the spotlight.
“Casey Anthony rebranding herself as a legal advocate is like Jeffrey Dahmer opening a steakhouse. The delusion is Michelin star level,” one person wrote.
“We may be divided politically, but we can all come together to say, with no due respect, go f— yourself, Casey Anthony,” said another.
We’ll see how long Anthony sticks around. But it doesn’t appear many people are likely to be on her side.
