Cardi B Calls Casey Anthony a 'Disgrace of a Mother'

Cardi B called out Casey Anthony on Twitter following the release of the docuseries Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies.

In 2008, Anthony made national headlines when she was charged with first-degree murder over the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony. In December that same year, the toddler's remains were found in a wooded area near her mother's home.

During the trial three years later, prosecution alleged that the now 36-year-old suffocated her little girl by putting duct tape over her mouth and nose. Meanwhile, her defense team alleged that Caylee Anthony accidentally drowned in the family's pool.

Ultimately, the jury acquitted Casey Anthony of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter of a child. She was found guilty on four counts of providing false information to law enforcement, for which she served jail time.

In 2011, juror Jennifer Ford—who had previously been known as juror No. 3—spoke out about the verdict.

"I did not say she was innocent. I just said there was not enough evidence," she told ABC News. "If you cannot prove what the crime was, you cannot determine what the punishment should be."

On Monday, rapper Cardi B—whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar—blasted Casey Anthony on Twitter after seemingly having watched the docuseries Where the Truth Lies.

"I don't give a deum how they flip it, switch it, turn it, toss it Casey Anthony is a disgrace of a mother and she shouldn't have a uterus," the "WAP" rapper, 30, wrote on the platform. "I don't feel bad for her or for the daddy YALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED to that baby!!!!"

In the three-part docuseries, which premiered on Peacock on November 29, Casey Anthony recalled giving birth to her daughter when she was 19 years old. While the identity of Caylee Anthony's biological father is still unclear, Casey Anthony said she became pregnant after she was drugged and raped at a house party.

"(I) had a couple beers, completely lost my memory because I was drugged," she said. "I woke up with my top on, my jeans on the floor with my underwear, and my bra still inside of my shirt but up over my breasts."

Casey Anthony—once labeled "the most hated mom in America"—added that she was "lethargic," "disoriented" and "scared," and "could feel like [she'd] had forcible sex."

Initially, she claimed the baby was her ex-boyfriend Jesse Grund's, but after he got a paternity test, he discovered he wasn't the father.

"I lied to everyone," she said in the documentary. "That's what I'm saying, it's so f***** up, it's just years of feeling like I needed to live a certain life or show people I lived a certain life, because I didn't want people to pity me, and I didn't want my kid to grow up thinking she was the product of something so bad and that I didn't want her."

In the docuseries, Casey Anthony alleged that her father, George Anthony, had sexually abused her from the age of 8 to 12 and that he was involved in Caylee's death. These were claims Casey Anthony's defense attorney also made during her trial. Her father has strongly denied these claims.

Ultimately, however, Casey Anthony said she doesn't know what happened to her daughter.

"It's why all of this is so hard," she said. "I live with that guilt of feeling like I failed her and didn't keep her safe and protect her."
