Will Casey Anthony's Acquittal Make Her A $1 Million Woman, Jerry Springer Says No Way

It was the collective gasp heard round the world when Casey Anthony was declared not guilty of first-degree murder last week. Now, with only days left to serve behind bars, the media is chomping at the bit, taking bets on who will get the first interview with the woman who once stared the death penalty in the face. But does Anthony's freedom mean she'll be seeing some major dollar signs once she decides to open her mouth? Jerry Springer thinks not.

After Anthony's acquittal, false rumors that Springer had offered the 25-year-old $1 million to appear on his show began to circulate. But after shooting down the fabricated offer, Springer is now saying that no network should pay the Tot Mom for an interview, and if they do, don't expect him to watch.

"It's a horrible story," Springer told me. "Why would I want to watch an interview? I didn't even watch the trial."

Springer was so upset after the false reporting of any monetary offer to Anthony, his spokesman, Gary Rosen, set the record straight.

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

Anthony, who is expected to be free later this week, might want to think again if she thinks being acquitted for first degree murder is going to make her a wealthy woman. When I asked Springer if any media outlet should pay her for an interview he simply responded, "no."

I'm with you on this one, Jerry!

We've heard the story in court. We don't need to hear their million dollar spin from anyone in the Anthony family.

When you are too low for Jerry Springer, that should be your wake up call.

I hope the entire country shares this sentiment and keeps this girl from her "bella vita"

She will profit off of the death of her child for sure but all of the wealth in the world wont wash away the filth of her , her mother, or her lawyers . She'll get rich, change her name, get drunk and blab who she is so, its all in the cards that are yet to be played.

Charming, courageous Casey Anthony has far too much pride, dignity & self-respect ever to appear with sordid, sleazy Jerry Springer. Her sights are set much higher than his brand of "entertainment".

She'll be there, in a heart beat. She has no class.

Some slime magazine will pay Casey Anthony and/or her family billions of bucks to learn their side of the story. If there is a dollar to be made, you can be sure the Anthony Family will want to be the first in line.Everyone, including Ms. Anthony, have told so many lies, I don't know if they even know what the truth is. In a few months, there will be TV movies, books, magazine articles about the Caylee Anthony story, it will be disgusting. However, there will be those individuals who will pay their hard earned bucks to pay for "inside" sagacious details of this morbid tragedy.

She owes $75K to the IRS, she's looking at a civil suit for defamation, she owes the state of Florida $4K not including what the prosecution is going to try and bill her for because she lied to officers, not to mention what Jose' is gonna bill her for getting her off death row......she's gonna need evey dime she can get. You think ANYBODY is gonna hire her.....EVER???

Just more lies out of their mouths! Boycott any station that airs these interviews and of couse the companies that sponsor them! If the jury didn't listen, maybe the sponsors will! Casey and her family deserve nothing!

This will cool down and hell I can even see her becoming the victim, Americans have a strange way of rewarding people like this, stay tuned I'm sure we'll see her face more than Charlie Sheen.

What could Casey Anthony and her family say NOW that we could ever believe..Some one in that family put the baby in the swamp..It seems that they are in a business to twist,turn, flip all the half truths they can muster ..People that have things to hide are shady. Might be that Caylee did carry the baby around in the car, and then talk to her dad, and it was to late to call 911. So they decided to make it look like an kidnapping. But it should be a crime to disrespect a human body..Nope not interested in seeing, reading, anything the Anthony's have to say NOW.

I agree with you EBM, what could she even say that we don't already know, heck we even know she knows how CAYLEE died. That's why I don't understand why JERRY SPRINGER or anyone would wast their money. Why not take that 1 million Mr. Springer and donate to all the groups that searched for little CAYLEE?

Haaaaaaa...this is so funny to me. I bet she thinks she's going to be the next 'star', making millions...when Jerry Springer won't even take you...well, that kind of says it all doesn't it? Just another OJ...oh, wait...OJ is in prison now...just where he belongs...hopefully that same kind of justice will come around for her one day as well. Obviously not for Caylee, but for something else she does...and she will...she's already as narcissistic as they come...now she will think she's invincible. It won't take her long to mess up again.

JUST saw on in Session that JERRY SPRINGER WILL be paying up 1 million for her interview.

[livestrong3c]

He and his reps have said they will not be paying her for anything and he thinks NO ONE should pay her for any appearance, etc.

I'm sure there will be plenty of people who would be willing to cash in on this. Wouldn't be surprised if she got a reality show. At the very least, she'll get plenty of interviews which will earn her some decent money.

I think that the word DECENT doesn't apply here....
