Casey Anthony’s New Documentary Drops Major Bombshells: See Case Revelations, Explosive Quotes

Blaming Her Father

Anthony alleged in the second episode that her father, George Anthony, staged Caylee’s drowning in order to cover up that he may have been abusing her.

“I wasn’t feeling that great, and I wanted to lay down,” Anthony explained about the last day Caylee was seen in June 2008. “I had her lay in bed with me.”

“I was awoken by [my father] shaking me and asking me where Caylee was,” she continued. “That didn’t make sense. She would never even leave my room without telling me. I immediately started looking around the house. I go outside and I’m looking to see where she could be.”

Anthony claimed that she saw George holding Caylee. “He was standing there with her,” she explained. “She was soaking wet. He handed her to me. Said it was my fault. That I caused it. But he didn’t rush to call 911 and he wasn’t trying to resuscitate her. I collapsed with her in my arms. She was heavy, and she was cold.”

“He takes her from me and he immediately softens his tone and says ‘It’s going to be OK,’” Anthony continued. “I wanted to believe him. He took her from me and he went away.”

She later moved in with her then-boyfriend, Tony Lazzaro, following the incident. Anthony said she never told anyone what happened because she was under the impression that Caylee was still alive.

“During the 31 days, I genuinely believed that Caylee was still alive,” she told cameras during the first episode. “My father kept telling me she was ok. I had to keep following his instructions. He told me what to do. I tried to act as normal as I could.”

She also accused George of physical abuse in the documentary. “He’d put a pillow over my face and smother me to knock me out,” Anthony alleged. “That happened several times. I’m sure there were times where I was incapacitated as a child where my body was limp and lifeless.”

The photographer admitted she worried her father moved on to abusing Caylee once he stopped with her. “That’s what I think about,” she said. “I wish every day I had said something to someone about something. Maybe then things would be different.”

Inside Anthony’s Relationship With Her Parents

Anthony opened up on her past and current relationships with George and Cindy in the first episode of the docuseries.

“The outside world saw this perfect little family and there were moments of that for sure but that wasn’t the reality,” she explained. “Our life at home was a lie, telling the truth, especially in our house wasn’t allowed. It all comes back to my dad.”

During the infamous trial, one of the main defense arguments was that Anthony had been molested by George and he played an instrumental role in disposing of Caylee’s body. George has denied the allegations and has never been charged. In court, he submitted a DNA test to prove he wasn’t Caylee’s dad amid speculation that he fathered her.

In the docuseries, Anthony reflected on the alleged abuse that she says started when she was 8 years old when her dad came into her room at night. She alleged he “physically hurt” her and told her she couldn’t “tell mommy what happened.”

Detective John Allen weighed in on the allegations in the third episode that George molested Anthony. “I don’t think that’s true. I think there were a lot of things said that were made up for whatever reason,” he said, adding that there was no evidence of the alleged abuse apart from letters written by Anthony.

Insight Into Caylee’s Father

While Anthony hasn’t revealed who Caylee’s father is, she opened up about conceiving her daughter after she was raped at 18 years old.

“When I was 18 I was at a house party and had a couple of beers and completely lost my memory because I was drugged,” she recalled, noting she woke up with her jeans on the floor. “I was extremely disoriented and I could feel like I had forcible sex … I was scared, confused and full of questions.”

Anthony said she didn’t report the incident because she wasn’t “sure anyone would believe me.”

Keeping the Paternity a Secret

Also during first episode of the limited series, Anthony reflected on previously telling then-boyfriend, Jesse Grund, that he was the father of Caylee following her rape. After she realized Grund wasn’t the father, she called it a “selfish decision to not tell” him the truth about her daughter’s paternity.

“I let Jesse believe the entirety of my pregnancy that he was the father,” she said, admitting she should have told him the truth about how Caylee was conceived. Anthony added that she “lied to everyone” about who Caylee’s father is and claimed it was “an old friend.”

Explaining Her Tattoo

While Caylee was still actively missing in July 2008, Anthony got a tattoo of the words “Bella Vita,” which means “beautiful life” in Italian, inked on her left shoulder. While she was heavily criticized for her decision to get a new tattoo amid the disappearance of her daughter, Anthony has now explained what influenced her to get the ink.

“That was a subconscious way for me to speak out against all of it … my family, my flawed and f–ked up family and my flawed and f–ked-up life,” she explained in the docuseries. “It was the antithesis of what my life really was.”

Relationship With Patrick McKenna

During the third episode, Anthony opened up about her current relationship with Patrick McKenna, who served as a lead investigator in her case.

Following the trial, McKenna took her in and let her live in his home. While the pair no longer live together, she noted they were roommates “for a long time.”

​​“He’s the guy that would walk me down the aisle if I were ever dumb enough to get married,” Casey said of their relationship.

Patrick said he told Anthony’s lawyer, Jose Baez, about the case, “I don’t have enough information, because I can’t connect that girl killing that baby. But there’s something really f–ked-up about this family.”

During the third episode, Anthony said that she loves her defense team and considers them family. “It just gives me so much peace seeing them,” she said.

Meanwhile, her legal team admitted they did not know what they were getting into when they agreed to take on the case.

Anthony’s Jail Experience

Anthony opened up about the three years she served in prison during the second episode of the docuseries.

Robin Adams, who met Anthony in jail, recalled one day when Anthony used sign language and wrote her a letter in a book that they were able to pass between each other as they served time in solitary confinement.

The women began exchanging letters, with Anthony stating she knew what it was like to be physically, mentally and sexually abused. She also described her brother, Lee Anthony, sexually assaulting her.

While serving time in prison, Anthony said she began to have nightmares, flashbacks and seizures as she relived the experiences of her father allegedly molesting her.

Clint House’s Thoughts

Clint House, who used to live with Anthony’s ex, Tony, claimed that Anthony lied to make him think she did not kill Caylee.

The former roommate added that he believes Caylee overdosed on Xanax, though Anthony insists she never gave her daughter Xanax. Despite Anthony’s claim that she never administered the drug, Clint recalled the phrase, “Xanny the nanny,” admitting that it “sent a lightbulb off” in his head when it was uttered.

Clint has since exchanged emails with Anthony’s parents, George and Cindy, admitting that he cannot imagine how they feel about the events and how they unfolded.
