'Most hated mom' Casey Anthony 'cashing in' with lucrative side hustle: expert

“America’s most hated mom,” Casey Anthony, is now raking in money in her latest lucrative venture as a subscription-based blogger.

Anthony was accused of killing her two-year-old daughter, Caylee, in 2008 but was found not guilty in 2011.

As the 39-year-old works to establish a new identity, she has turned to Substack, a platform that allows followers to pay to subscribe to personal writings, videos, and other communications.

“It has been more than 16 years since my name became a household one,” Anthony wrote in her Substack bio. “Everyone seems to have an opinion — about me, and about my life. I am an advocate, a researcher. These are my words, this is my REAL life.”

Lightman wondered whether Anthony’s ability to profit from her fame — even though it stems from scandal — will inspire more people to try to become famous.

“The question I would have is: Are we going to see this happen more and more often? This provides an example of people cashing in on their fandom. Does that imply that people will deliberately try to create fame — by any means necessary — whether positive, which is much harder to achieve, or through scandal, which is much easier?”

In 2008, Casey was charged with the murder of Caylee after the little girl was reported missing and later found dead in Orlando, Florida. 

The prosecution claimed that Casey had intentionally killed her daughter to free herself from parental responsibilities, while the defense argued that Caylee had accidentally drowned and that Casey’s father had helped to cover it up. 

In 2011, after a highly publicized trial, Casey Anthony was acquitted of the most serious charges, including first-degree murder, but was found guilty on four counts of providing false information to law enforcement.

The verdict sparked widespread outrage and debate, and Casey has remained a controversial figure ever since.
