Casey Anthony Launches TikTok and Substack to Advocate for Daughter She Was Accused of Killing

Casey Anthony, once labeled "America's most hated mom," has stepped into the public spotlight again, this time with a new mission. Through TikTok and Substack, she aims to discuss legal advocacy, positioning herself as a voice for the LGBTQ community, women's rights, and broader legal issues.

Anthony, now 38, has maintained her innocence in the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, a case that captivated the nation. She has long pointed fingers at her father as the true culprit in her daughter's tragic death, a claim strongly denied by her parents.

In her debut TikTok video, posted March 1, Anthony introduced her new series, stating, "I am a legal advocate. I am a researcher. I have been in the legal field since 2011. If I’m going to continue to operate appropriately as a legal advocate, I need to advocate for myself and my daughter." Her words come with a clear aim to reshape her public image, which has been under the harshest scrutiny for nearly two decades.

Anthony emphasized that this new venture is "not about her parents" or any past disputes but rather a step to "reintroduce" herself. She also offered a direct connection to her audience, inviting them to email her about legal issues via her Substack, where she regularly publishes posts.

The Casey Anthony case remains one of America’s most infamous crimes. In 2011, after a month-long trial, she was acquitted of charges including first-degree murder and aggravated manslaughter. However, she was found guilty of lying to law enforcement. Despite the courtroom drama, the question of what truly happened to Caylee has never been answered.

Anthony’s new platform comes after she claims people close to her have been "targeted and attacked recently." She framed her advocacy work as seizing an opportunity to turn the infamy "thrust upon" her into something positive. "I am proverbially standing in the light," she said, describing her new approach to privacy and public engagement. While her words suggest a new chapter, the cloud of her controversial past isn’t likely to dissipate anytime soon.

Caylee Anthony’s remains were discovered in December 2008 in a wooded area near the Anthony family home, months after her disappearance. Prosecutors alleged Casey used chloroform and duct tape to kill her daughter, while her defense argued the toddler accidentally drowned in the family pool, with Casey’s parents allegedly covering up the incident. The jury deliberated for 11 hours before acquitting her, a decision that sparked widespread outrage.

Casey Anthony’s story has inspired documentaries, TV shows, and endless debate. Now, she’s looking to redirect that attention toward advocacy, but whether the public will embrace her new persona remains to be seen. One thing is clear — Casey Anthony knows how to keep the spotlight firmly fixed on her.
