Casey Anthony, bankrupt
and the world's most hated woman, says she's gone totally broke since winning
her freedom in 2011 and depends entirely "on the kindness of
strangers" for her day to day needs.
At least until the
much coveted "normal" life she now claims to crave will someday
become available once more.
Sadly, it's doubtful
that the normalcy Anthony says she's seeking—which she once had as a single
mother, if she recalls—will ever be coming her way again. Mainly because the
accused baby killer is still receiving weekly death threats and therefore remains
in hiding.
But, never mind the
what-fors and the whys, she's a genuine pauper now, Caylee's acquitted killer
personally informed the bankruptcy court this week. She’s got only about a
$1000 worth of assets left to her name.
Some of that *fortune*
comes in the form of furniture over a decade old, according to Anthony's court
papers. These presumably donated by, or else pilfered from, her long lost
parents from whom she is still believed to be completely estranged.
Some of it's
technology with traditionally little or no resale value whatsoever, except
perhaps for hard drive components or memory chips which may hold the kind of
sordid secrets highly prized by magazines and tabloids.
In fact, only a few of
the possessions Anthony lists can be deemed semi-valuable in the scheme of
things: a solitary strand of bona fide pearls, a bicycle she rarely gets
to use anymore, what with being penniless and unable to afford a body guard and
all...and some memorabilia.
Still, for a person
who is said to owe nearly a million dollars to creditors, these won't get
her very far out of the hole.
Plus, she lamented,
she's not been offered any lucrative book contracts or movie deals, either.
All of these desperate
declarations, filed just in time to thwart lawsuits currently pending against
her now from various folks she libeled and defamed throughout her murder
proceedings, seem just a tad farfetched, however.
And the part about
being scorned by Hollywood, an industry that's never met a murderer they didn't
love, also seems hard to swallow.
So, is Casey Anthony
bankrupt and broke like she poignantly claims to be; a misjudged soul searching
for mercy from a world that has wrongly hated her guts for years?
Or is she outright
lying about how dire her situation has become, in hopes of escaping future
judgments?
"I don't pay
rent, I don't pay utilities. I guess you could say I'm living free or off the
kindness of others," she swears.
Yeah, she's probably
spinning another of her elaborate tales. She's done that before. Remember?
