Casey Anthony Seeks Treatment for Mental Issues, Refuses Interviews

Casey Anthony seeks treatment for mental issues, will not do any interviews for now

Casey Anthony will not be doing any interviews anytime soon. Despite rumors to the contrary – and ongoing negotiations with all the major networks – Anthony will be seeking help for mental issues and avoid all contact with the media for the time being, it has emerged.

Not long ago, Anthony’s attorney was in talks with NBC, ABC and CBS for her first post-jail interview, admittedly one of the hottest topics of interest in recent months, which would have translated into solid ratings for whatever network landed the exclusive.

Either because the story broke long before negotiations were complete (and the public reacted negatively to the idea), or because this was never the plan, the Anthony exclusive is not happening anymore, TMZ reports.

“Casey Anthony won’t be sitting down with ABC, NBC, CBS or any other network for at least a couple of months – TMZ has learned Casey will be seeking professional treatment for serious mental issues instead,” the e-zine reports.

“Sources close to Anthony tell us, Casey is seeking treatment for three reasons: First, Casey now realizes that her questionable behavior when her daughter Caylee went missing back in 2008 stemmed from ‘obvious mental health issues’,” the same report argues.

“The second reason – Casey still needs help coping with the ‘obvious trauma of losing her child’,” TMZ says.

The third reason why she’s seeking treatment is that she spent the past 3 years of her life under lockdown in a tiny cell, while being on trial for murder.

It would have been enough to drive a stronger woman mad, says the insider. “It messed with her head,” adds the spy.

Nevertheless, choosing not to do the interview now doesn’t mean that Anthony will never speak out, TMZ informs.

On the contrary, she’s leaving that door open: her attorney will continue to look at offers for interviews, and Anthony will do the first whenever she feels ready for it, on her own terms.

All this is a circus.....the one that will get the major financial benefits will be her so called 'lawyer" public should refuse to continue giving more attention to this joke, what public do showing interest for these persons is just filling their archs with no deserved money, if Casey and her attorney want to get rich....they should go to work their * off!!!!!

Whatever network signs her will have sponsers paying. Myself and everyone I spoke to would never buy another product from any sponser who puts up money for this piece of garbage. She is the most hated woman in the world. She should concentrate on watching her back and not doing interviews!!

It is to bad she is having all this mental anguish, God help her, but it is understandable. I just hope that when she sorts it all out and before she or her shields cash in on this Greek tragedy, that a lttle light goes off in her head and does the decent thing... just like Judas.

i don't care about this woman and her whoa is me attitude, give it up you will never be a good person in most people's eyes. too bad her little girl didn't even a chance to base an opinion about anything, yeah go live in another country and maybe the next time you want to rid of someone in your life you won't even get a trial

Why ANYone would want to interview her OR watch an interview with Casey Anthony is beyond me. She lies... never tells the truth. All anyone will hear is lies. Senseless.

That girl needs help and so does her enabling mother. I still pray for her because her daughter has left this ear th far too soon.
