Aphrodite Jones: Casey Anthony a 'narcissist'; leaked video likely 'doctored'

Florida – The Internet has been a buzz ever since a video featuring Casey Anthony – who's been in hiding since her acquittal for murder – was leaked on YouTube. Although attorney Cheney Mason says Casey did not release the video and it was illegally obtained, many, including author Aphrodite Jones believes Casey likely “doctored” the video herself or with the help of someone else and probably released it due to her narcissistic tendencies.

As Jones astutely notes on her Discovery.com blog, “...let's recall the photos of Casey that appeared last fall – those were orchestrated – with careful placement of an Ohio ball cap on Casey's head and studious glasses that allowed people to recognize her eyes.”

Jones posits that someone paid a large amount of money for those photos and that Casey is again in need of money and is now testing “the waters to see how much attention she can garner.” She writes, “After all Casey is, first and foremost, a narcissist” and likely “misses being a 'star.'”

The author also believes that someone clearly “doctored and edited” Casey's video diary, in part because it is in black and white.

Jones also hints that she knows who's behind the video release, but does not say exactly who she believes that is.

Casey's daughter Caylee was reported missing by Casey's mother, Cindy Anthony, in the summer of 2008. The girl's lifeless body was found in December of that year in a wooded area near the Anthony family home. During Casey's 2011 murder trial, prosecutors claimed she rendered the girl helpless using chloroform and then suffocated her with duct tape, later dumping her body in the woods. Casey's legal team, however, countered by arguing that no one was murdered and that the child died accidentally by drowning in the family's backyard pool.

Casey walked out of jail a free woman on July 17, 2011, following her July 5 acquittal, and has kept a low profile since then. She is currently on probation for a Jan. 2010 check fraud conviction.
