THE mom of accused teen killer Karmelo Anthony said the family has been inundated with death threats and blasted claims that they’ve been splashing out on donation money.

The family amassed over $450,000 after Anthony, 17, allegedly stabbed Austin Metcalf, 17, in the heart during a track meet on April 2.

The Anthonys planned a press conference on Thursday to address rumors about the online fundraiser, but it was thrown into chaos when Austin’s dad showed up.

Next Generation Action, an advocacy group representing the Anthonys, refused to start the conference until after Jeff had left.

After about half an hour, the dad was peacefully escorted out by cops.

Speaking to reporters, Kayla Hayes, Anthony’s mom, gave a tearful statement where she denied ever seeing a cent from the fundraiser.

She said the family had just been notified on Wednesday that they could start collecting the money, and that the process would take several days.

Hayes’ comments came after the family sprung Anthony from prison once his $1 million bail was reduced to $250,000 on Monday.

The family was escorted out of the Texas courthouse by security and then traveled to a home valued at around $863,000 that they’re renting, according to reports.

But Hayes said the security was provided by Next Generation Action, and that none of the donations have been put toward their living expenses.

She went on to break down in tears as she said the parents were getting “death threats.”

“My 13-year-old daughter is afraid to sleep in her own bedroom because she’s fearful of what might happen to her,” Hayes said between sobs.
