'Jerry Springer': We Never Made Monetary Offer to Casey Anthony

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted Jul 8th 2011 05:00PM

After reports began to swirl that 'The Jerry Springer Show' was offering Casey Anthony $1 million to make an appearance with her family, the show's execs are now saying that the supposed monetary offer is completely false.

"There is absolutely no truth to this story whatsoever," 'Jerry Springer' spokesman, Gary Rosen said in a statement. "'The Jerry Spring Show' has not made any monetary offer to Casey Anthony and her family to appear on the program, nor will we."

The rumored appearance would have marked the Tot Mom's first public words following her first degree murder charge acquittal. Original reports detailed that the show presented the offer to Anthony's legal team on Friday morning, an offer that would then be taken to Anthony and her family -- who supposedly had to appear on the show with her in order for the deal to go through.

"The offer was made to Casey's defense team Friday," a now incorrect source told Star magazine. "They are interested. The should would get huge ratings. The family will be presented with the offer shortly."

But even before the alleged appearance was squashed, we had a difficult time believing that the deal would go through if it meant Casey's father, George Anthony had to present. During her trial, Anthony's defense argued that the way she dealt with her daughter, Caylee's death was brought on by her own early childhood molestation, at the hands of her father. Anthony's legal team also made the case that she did not immediately report her daughter's death at the instruction of her father who 'intimidated' her. It is unclear, after Anthony's not guilty verdict shocked people across the nation, whether she will be living with her parents following her July 17 release from jail.

With a potential civil trial still on the table, many believe that making a talk show appearance almost immediately after her criminal trial would have only further cast Anthony as one of America's 'most hated women.' But, at the same time, a million dollar payday may have been exactly what Anthony needed to reclaim her life -- a life that will forever be emblazoned with the scarlet letter of her daughter's still ambiguous death.

But now that the offer has been deemed as a false report, just like Caylee's death, we'll never know what Anthony would have done.

Since she claims she didn't murder her child, perhaps she should use the money to hire somebody to find her daugher's real killer. Yeah, like that's going to happen.

Every one take it easy, Casey and all of the other losers have not excepted anything yet. Wait until it is a sure thing.

yeah make her famous what about caylee, please people do not watch the show, he is a sick person and so is casey. why not make a story about caylee and her suffering at the hands of her mother and what she must have suffered. why not put up money to keep find out what really happen to caylee, she died with and no one but her mother knows the truth.

By heather

By Tony

She's like the cross between OJ Simson and Anna Nicole Smith now ... the world won't stop talking about her for weeks.

As distasteful as Springer has always been this just goes right over the top!

By Joe Spelta

Anybody still doubt that Springer is a pile of garbage and Casey is just another piece on the heap?

By ashley

that is what she wanted anyways her 5 minute of fame and a large pay out to go along with it but it is truley said for caylee.

By Pia

She's a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR.. proven, and confirmed by pretty much everyone she's ever encountered.

WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD LISTEN TO ANYTHING SHE HAS TO SAY, MUCH LESS PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE?

By Nancy

I know this will be one show I will not watch. It makes me sick!

By Ashley

ANYONE...who offers this girl that type of money to be on their show...should be ashamed of themselves. Although I wouldn't expect anything less from JS. This girl should not profit for her crime! I don't care about the verdict..she's guilty in my eyes. Her waiting a whole month to report her daughter missing is suspicious enough for me!! And out partying it up!

By Kay

I think we must boycott Springer and network just for making such an offer!! I can't boycott Springer b/c I wouldn't watch it, but it should be boycotted and our rage expressed to his sponsors and the network. Even the offer is OUTRAGEOUS!!

WHAT IF SHE IS INNOCENT? ANYBODY THOUGHT OF THIS?

By Kimberly

WHAT IF THE POPE IS MUSLIM! ANYONE THOUGHT OF THIS?

By suzanne

THE POPE WAS A NAZI DON"T YOU READ ?

By Collins

she's still one of the poorest excuses for a mother that i've ever seen. Have you thought of that?

no way is she innocent.

By Samantha

It's unfortunate we can't get jurors with some sort of mentality. They did say they all thought she was guilty, but the prosecution didn't prove it.
This piece of crap, knowing her daughter was not around (because she killed her) was photographed out partying on several occasions, yet they didn't find her guilty.
She's an ugly, bug-eyed monster & this b.s. of having her on a t.v. show is nothing but greed. Yes, she should be boycotted by society. Like O.J. she'll end up in trouble because karma is karma.
