Nancy Grace Reacts to Casey Anthony’s New Job as ‘Legal Advocate’
Veteran TV host Nancy Grace has said the devil would have “to come up through the ice when hell freezes over” before she’d “give a penny” to Casey Anthony for any sort of legal advice.
Grace, who hosts the Crime Stories with Nancy Grace podcast, recently spoke with People about the controversial Anthony, who was accused of murdering her two-year-old daughter, Caylee, in 2008 and was later acquitted by a jury in 2011.
Anthony recently reemerged on TikTok and Substack, revealing she is now “a legal advocate” and “researcher” who wants to “give people tools and resources that they can utilize so they actually know where they can turn to.”
Her TikTok has amassed over 80,000 followers since it launched earlier this month and has seen nearly 5 million views.
Grace, who covered the Anthony case extensively, told People she predicted the “Tot Mom” would one day return to the limelight. “I said, ‘We will hear from her again,'” she stated. “Now she’s making money off of her daughter’s [death].”
Caylee was reported missing in July 2008, 31 days after she actually vanished. At the time, Anthony became a suspect after it was discovered she was out partying the day before Caylee was reported missing. Authorities also found internet searches for chloroform on Anthony’s computer, as well as traces of chloroform and human decomposition in the trunk of her car.
Anthony was charged with first-degree murder in October 2008; two months later, Caylee’s body was found wrapped in a Winnie the Pooh blanket.
During the highly publicized trial, Anthony’s lawyers claimed Caylee accidentally drowned in the family swimming pool and that Anthony and her father, George Anthony, covered up the death. George was never charged and has denied the allegations.
Anthony was found not guilty of first-degree murder, child abuse and manslaughter. However, she was convicted of four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer. Anthony was released on July 17, 2011, with credit for time served. Two of the misdemeanor convictions were overturned in January 2013.
Grace continued to blast Anthony’s new social media venture as a legal expert, saying, “I truly do not believe that the public expects legal advice from Tot Mom. That’s where self-control comes in. Don’t give in to the prurient curiosity to see what Tot Mom says next.”

Nancy Grace has been dead wrong about so many cases, I find it perplexing that anybody still listens to a word that comes out of her ignorant pie hole.
Let's take a look at just a handful of the cases:
Duke Lacrosse Case (2006): Grace was a vocal proponent of the accusation that three Duke University lacrosse players raped a stripper. She questioned why they didn't miss a game for a "little thing like gang rape," only for the charges to be dropped and the players found innocent.
Melinda Duckett Case (2006): Following the disappearance of 2-year-old Trenton Duckett, Grace aggressively interrogated his mother, Melinda, on air. Melinda committed suicide the next day, and her family subsequently sued Grace for emotional distress.
David Westerfield/Danielle van Dam Case (2002): Grace stated on Larry King Live Wikipedia that Westerfield steam-cleaned his RV (indicating a cover-up) and that a transfer of hair/fibers was impossible, but both claims were inaccurate or not backed by evidence.
Toni Medrano Case (2012): Grace labeled Minnesota mother Toni Medrano a "vodka mom" and demanded a murder charge before legal proceedings were finalized, with the woman later taking her own life.
Prosecutorial Misconduct (1990s): During her time as a prosecutor, she was admonished by the Georgia State Supreme Court Los Angeles Times for withholding evidence and allowing a police detective to testify falsely in an arson/murder case.
Nancy Grace, either get something right or keep your pie hole shut.
