CNN Confirms Casey Anthony ‘Will Get $1 Million’ For Interview

CNN has reported this morning that Casey Anthony, the Florida woman whose lengthy murder trial quickly became a media offering of bread and circuses, would be receiving $1 million for her first interview since being acquitted of murdering her young daughter, promising updates on where and with whom as soon as that information comes in. ABC affiliate WPBF, meanwhile, is reporting that, according to local Florida attorney Spencer Kuvin, his client “Private Elevator Productions” (a group, he says, of “Hollywood producers who wants to remain anonymous”) has offered Anthony $1 million for an exclusive interview.

Kuvin adds that Anthony agreed to the interview back in July, but that “since then, nothing.” He has followed up with a letter to Anthony’s new lawyer, letting him know that the company still stands by its offer. A quick search for the company brought up a couple of available of domain names for sale.

In addition, the owner of a website called “The Dirty” has offered Anthony $350,000 for an interview, prompting Kuvin to send a letter to the site’s lawyer, asking them to “cease and desist.”

We will update this story as more details become available.
