More than a decade after Casey Anthony was accused of murdering her daughter in one of the country’s most notorious murder cases, this weekend she emerged on TikTok to reintroduce herself.
“This is my first of probably many recordings on a series that I’m starting,” Anthony says in the three-minute-long video recorded from her car. “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 became a national figure when her 2-year-old daughter went missing in the summer of 2008. The child’s body was found in December of that same year in a wooded area behind the Orlando home of Anthony’s parents. Anthony was ultimately found not guilty of her daughter’s murder in 2011, despite significant pushback from the public. She was, however, convicted of lying to law enforcement.
In the TikTok video Anthony introduces viewers to her daughter Caylee Anthony and her parents, George and Cindy Anthony. “This is not about them,” she says. “The whole point of this is for me to begin to reintroduce myself.”
Comments have been switched off but the video currently has over 3.3 million views at the time of writing. Anthony also used the video to announce she’s launching a Substack newsletter, where she will “give a voice to people” and “give people tools and resources that they can utilize.” Anthony added that there will be an email address available for people to reach out to her on a limited basis regarding “legal matters.”
“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,” she says.
In her first post on the blogging platform, Anthony wrote that “the presumption of innocence is a sacred right” adding, “that is not an opinion, it is a fact. We are plagued by a rush to judgment before someone even steps foot into a courtroom. Once a verdict is read, however long the process takes, the public must trust that the system worked the way it was intended.”
Comments remain open on her Substack posts, and Anthony has proven willing to respond. Hitting back at one of the comments, she wrote, “Sadly, if you were to ever be put in a position where you would need a legal defense, you would want someone like me helping to represent you. Someone who knows what it’s like to be accused.”
