Casey Anthony's Attorney Jose Baez Denies Talks With 'Hustler' Publisher Larry Flynt (EXCLUSIVE)

Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, told The Huffington Post he is not involved in any negotiations with Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt.

"I have never spoken or communicated with Hustler magazine in any way shape or form," Baez said in an exclusive statement to HuffPost Crime.

Last week, Flynt said he had offered Anthony $500,000 to pose naked for his magazine. The porn mogul made the announcement on HLN's "Nancy Grace" show.

"We made an offer of a half-a-million dollars, but ... she would receive 10 percent of [any additional profits], and the reason why I did that is I'm still ambivalent as to how well this will do," Flynt said.

Larry Flynt was not immediately available for comment.

In related news, TMZ is reporting that Anthony will not be doing any media interviews until she receives professional treatment for mental health issues.

According to the celebrity gossip website, sources close to Anthony told them she is seeking treatment for three reasons:

1. "Casey now realizes that her questionable behavior ... stemmed from 'obvious mental health issues'"

2. "Casey still needs help coping with the 'obvious trauma of losing her child.'"

3. "Casey spent nearly three years in solitary confinement in a Florida jail ... [and] ‘it messed with her head.'"

Once Anthony is healthy, she will consider doing media interviews, TMZ reported.

On July 5, a jury of seven women and five men acquitted Anthony, 25, of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee. The jury did, however, find her guilty of four lesser counts of lying to police officers about the disappearance of her child -- a decision she is appealing. Credited with good behavior and time served, Anthony was released from prison on July 17. Her current whereabouts are unknown.

I love Jose Baez's lawyer speak: "I have never spoken or communicated with Hustler magazine in any way shape or form," I'm sure there is a PR person who is working for him so he can distance himself with what she does, but I'm sure that he gets a percentage of her earnings. Casey Anthony will have more than legal bills piling up as the cost of living, security, etc. must be adding up every day. I'm sure Baez is going to get a portion of her money as well. HLN reported that their sources said that Anthony's people reached out to Larry Flynt, so if that's the case I'm sure she'll end up in Hustler. I'm just curious if anyone read her offer agreement it states that her payment of $500,000 is for a Photo spread and her to Perform in Adult Video. So I am curious that no one has ever mentioned her having to do a porno to get the money and not just pose for pics. I'm sure they will look to get her to do as much as they can and I wouldn't be surprised if that was her future path if the interview moneys aren't what they expected and she would have to sell herself to make money.

Just because Baez is not talking to Hustler does not mean that no one is talking to Hustler on Anthony's behalf. She needs money, and since she has no talent or a job, she has to get it from someplace.

She'd better hang on to Baez as a lawyer. He made a hail Mary with that defense and damned if he didn't get her acquitted.

No, I think she now realizes she is the most hated woman in America. This is nothing but a PR stunt manufactured by her and Baez.

It is irrational to hate a person you don't know personally. To be honest, people who get so emotionally entwined in a group of people they have only seen on TV is what scares me.

Well, to be frank, we are known by our deeds.... That said, any mother who would dance the night away, shop till she drop, and serve up shots at the local bar, all the while knowing that her child is dead, and thrown away like trash to wild animals, stray dogs...scares me more. And, those actions alone, reveal so much more than I could ever learn from a personal relationship. I would actually run from this woman...she is a dangerous human being....
