Casey Anthony's parents threaten to sue her
Threaten to take legal action against potential reality show.
Casey Anthony’s parents said they would sue their daughter if she sold her story or if she appeared in a reality show with recently freed convict O.J. Simpson.
Anthony’s parents, George and Cindy Anthony, sat down for an interview with Chris Hansen’s “Crime Watch Daily” recently in which they opened up about their strained relationship with their daughter.

In the interview, Hansen asked about the previous reports that Anthony was apparently in negotiations to star in a reality TV show with Simpson that would chronicle their lives after their high-profile court cases.
“Oh god. If it came down to that, I would [sue],” Cindy Anthony told Hansen, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
In the interview, Anthony’s parents did not hold back on their thoughts about their daughter, saying they believe she was mentally ill, People reported.
Cindy said she believed Casey might have had a seizure at the time of Caylee’s death echoing Anthony’s attorney, Cheney Mason, who said earlier this year that his client had a “blackout” following the toddler’s death, People reported.

George Anthony, who said he has no relationship with his daughter, had a message for the young woman.
However, George Anthony, who said he has no relationship with his daughter since her defense team accused him of sexually abusing her and working to conceal Caylee’s death.
“Stay away. Stay away from me. If she wants a relationship again with her mom, she's got a lot of explaining to do, but I don't want to hear it no more. I don’t want to see her,” he told Hansen.
Cindy’s message to her daughter urged her to be honest and stop blaming others.
“Casey, be true to yourself, start being honest with yourself, and own everything. Quit putting blame on everybody else,” Cindy Anthony said.
