Casey Anthony Adopts Baby-Fiction!
Summary of eRumor:
Casey Anthony, the Florida mother who was acquitted of her daughter’s murder in 2011, has adopted a baby from Romania.
The Truth:
This eRumor is a hoax.
World Weekly News, a website that warns its readers to not believe everything they read, first published the false report in January 2013.
The report claimed that Casey Anthony planned to pay up to $75,000 to adopt a 2-year-old girl from Romania. The report also claimed Anthony would pay for the adoption using money from an $8 million book deal.
Although reports of a possible book deal for Anthony went viral after she was acquitted, a deal was never announced. She filed for bankruptcy in 2013 and claimed $1,000 in assets and $792,000 in liabilities, the Associated Press reports.
