EXCLUSIVE Casey Anthony rakes in eye-popping sum from side hustle 14 years after she was cleared of daughter's murder
Casey Anthony is raking in tens of thousands of dollars per month on her Substack — with some fans paying up to $250 monthly for VIP access to the woman who was once accused of killing her daughter, Caylee.
Nearly two months after Anthony shared a TikTok video 'reintroducing herself' as a legal advocate, the notorious 38-year-old has been posting her musings and thoughts, and charging subscribers a $10 monthly fee.
More than 5,300 people have subscribed to read Anthony's posts. While many of the subscribers have opted for the free membership that doesn't allow them to comment, others are paying hundreds of dollars a month to be a 'founding member' of her Substack, which gives them unfettered access to Anthony.
'It's been very lucrative,' says an Anthony pal who has known her for more than a decade. 'She's making more money than she ever made before, and she's bragging about it to everyone.'
'She won't give specifics, but she says it's in the mid five figures per month.'
Substack does not release financial information of their users.
Some of Anthony's biggest supporters can pay big bucks to interact and message Anthony, ostensibly to receive legal advice, but also to discuss the specifics of her case and others.
'I think she got a bad rap,' one staunch supporter tells the Daily Mail in a private Substack message. 'My heart has always gone out to her, so the least I can do is support her work. I pay $40 a month, but she has written me back twice.'
But not all of the paid subscribers are fans of Anthony; some of them have paid to berate her in the comments.
"An overwhelming majority of Americans wish you would just go away," a paid user commented on one of her posts. 'You have nothing of value to offer here. This desperate grab for attention is as sad as it is annoying.'
Another paid user added, 'You are quite literally a CONVICTED liar. What really happened to Caylee?'
But Anthony seems undaunted, insisting that she is performing a public service by discussing the flaws in the legal system.
'I'm coming from a position of sharing public information,' she responded to one detractor. 'If it's not your message to receive, you don't need to read it. Simple as that.'
In a post dated April 17, Anthony shared a list of anti-Trump protest dates, with the caption, 'For those of you wanting to exercise your First Amendment Right, you have the Right to Assemble. Protest peacefully. Use your voice. Show up and speak up, as is your right.'
In response, one paid user merely posted a photograph of Anthony's slain daughter, Caylee.
Anthony grabbed the nation's attention in 2008 when her two-year-old daughter, Caylee, went missing.
After Caylee vanished, Anthony was spotted clubbing around the Orlando and dancing on tables instead of looking for her missing daughter. Finally, a month later, her panicked grandmother called the cops, saying that Casey's car smelled like decomposition.
Six months later, Caylee's remains were found less than 1/3 mile from the family home. The little girl had duct tape wrapped around her mouth. a
Anthony was charged with first-degree murder, and prosecutors alleged that she had killed the little girl so she could enjoy a carefree life.
Anthony's 2011 trial became a media spectacle. According to Nielsen research, an estimated 40 million Americans watched some or all of the trial — and her shocking acquittal was viewed by almost 100 million people worldwide.
But Anthony herself insists that she is not trying to cash in on her notoriety on her Substack, but is simply trying to help others who find themselves on the other side of the law.
In a post last month, she offered a veiled threat by posting the legal definitions of libel and slander.
"For those of you saying these things about me, I am still going to continue to do what I said I was going to do, which is advise you of your rights, and the law,' she wrote.
'I will remind you that this is not legal advice, purely public information,' she continued. 'You need to educate yourselves before you implicate yourselves. I would say stop the bulls***, but I think that's asking a little too much.'
