Casey Anthony Pledges 'No Child Will Die' in New Push for Relevancy

Casey Anthony, the Florida woman acquitted in 2011 of murdering her two-year-old daughter Caylee, has launched a bold new chapter in her quest for relevancy. She announced her arrival on TikTok this week, declaring herself a legal advocate for the LGBTQ community, women's rights, and privacy protection.

Gone are the days of duct tape and swampy woods — Anthony now pledges to wield her influence for good, promising the public she won’t kill an innocent child this time.

Anthony’s TikTok debut, racked up over 1.2 million views by Monday morning, showing her speaking from her car about her supposed legal credentials. Since her acquittal, she has worked in the legal field, assisting private investigator Patrick McKenna, who stood by her during the trial that gripped the nation.

Her new venture includes a Substack page where she plans to dole out advice on legal matters, though most of it sits behind a paywall because even redemption comes with a subscription fee.

“I’ve been in the legal field since 2011, and I feel it’s necessary to advocate for myself and my daughter,” Anthony said in her video.

The 2011 trial saw her charged with first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and manslaughter after Caylee’s remains were found in a wooded area near the family home, months after she went missing. A jury found her not guilty on the major charges.

Not content with just a social media glow-up, Anthony has leaned into her past media stints to bolster her rebrand. Her 2022 Peacock docuseries, "Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies," marked her first televised interview, where she claimed years of therapy helped her find her voice.

Critics called it a narcissist’s vanity project, but it didn’t stop her from spinning tales of personal growth while dodging definitive answers about Caylee’s death.

“I’m a proponent for the LGBTQ community, for the legal community, women’s rights,” Anthony declared in her TikTok.

Her Substack bio echoes this, touting her as an advocate and researcher with over 16 years of name recognition — conveniently skipping over why that name rings a bell. The irony isn’t lost on observers, who note that her advocacy seems less about service and more about staying in the spotlight.

Rosie O’Donnell, one of the few to buy Anthony’s redemption arc, praised the Peacock series on TikTok back in 2022.

“It kinda made sense to me, what she was saying,” O’Donnell claimed, earning her a swift backlash from users who weren’t ready to forgive. Fast forward to 2025, and Anthony’s latest pivot has sparked fresh outrage, with X posts calling it a “rebrand no one asked for” and a “sus attempt at fame.”

Anthony’s trial remains one of the most watched in history, with Nielsen estimates pegging viewership at 40 million for the proceedings and nearly 100 million for the verdict.

She served a brief sentence for lying to police before walking free, a fact that still fuels public skepticism about her newfound altruism. .

“I feel that it’s important I use this platform that was thrust upon me,” Anthony said, framing her notoriety as a blessing rather than a curse.

Social media reactions range from disbelief to dark humor, with one X user quipping, “Casey Anthony on TikTok giving legal advice—next she’ll be teaching parenting classes.”

As she builds her following — over 28,000 on TikTok already — Anthony seems determined to prove that infamy is just a stepping stone to influencer status, no duct tape required.
