CASEY Anthony, who was accused of murdering her daughter Caylee in 2011, has launched a new social media career to promote her work as a legal advocate.
Anthony, who rose to infamy when she was put on trial for killing her 2-year-old daughter, posted on TikTok for the first time ever, sparking a raft of angry responses.
In the video, the 38-year-old sits in her car as she promotes her Substack account and passion for her job.
“This is my first of probably many recordings on a series that I’m starting,” Anthony said in the three-minute-long video.
“I am a legal advocate. I am a researcher.
“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.”
Anthony’s daughter Caylee Marie vanished in June 2008, but her disappearance wasn’t reported until a month later.
Anthony’s mother, Cindy, was the one who called the police to alert them of her granddaughter’s disappearance and alleged that her daughter was the one responsible.
“There is something wrong,” Cindy told a 911 operator. “I found my daughter’s car today and it smells like there’s been a dead body in the damn car.”
On July 16, 2008, one day after Caylee was reported missing, Anthony was arrested and charged with child neglect and giving false statements to the police. She was later indicted on first-degree murder charges in connection to Caylee’s death.
The two-year-old’s remains were found stuffed inside a trash bag in December 2008, hidden near a wooded area behind Anthony’s parents’ Orlando home.
The mother was long believed to be her daughter’s murderer, but three years later, she was acquitted of the charges.
The six-week murder trial caused a massive media frenzy all across the country and was the subject of a 2022 Peacock docuseries Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies.
In the docuseries, Anthony gave her first on-camera interview about what she alleges happened to her daughter.
NEW LEGAL VENTURE
In her new TikTok video, Anthony said her account won’t have any association with her parents but would instead be about rebranding herself and fighting for underrepresented communities.
“This is not about them. This is not in response to anything that they have said or done,” she said of her parents.
“That’s not to say that I’m not going to respond at some point to some of the things that they have said and done. The whole point of this is for me to begin to reintroduce myself.
“So as a proponent for the LGBTQ community, for legal community, women’s rights, I feel that it’s important that I use this platform that was thrust upon me and now look at as a blessing, as opposed to the curse that it has been since 2008.”
FURIOUS RESPONSE
Anthony’s latest video has sparked outrage on social media, with some users calling for her to “keep her mouth shut.”
“Some folks just don’t know when to keep their mouths shut & lead a quiet, uneventful remainder of life on this earth!” one X user wrote in response to her post.
Another user reposted the video with a plea for her to “go right back” to where she came from.
“Casey Anthony made a TikTok account to advertise all of the ‘work’ she is doing on substack to advocate for the LGBTQ community,” ths user wrote.
“She needs to go right back to the hole she crawled out of. #justiceforcayleeanthony.”
One X user said she doesn’t care about or want Anthony’s rebrand.
“Casey Anthony’s personal rebrand was not on my 2025 Bingo card,” the user wrote.
“I don’t want it. #marketingmonday.”
