Will Casey Anthony cash in with a book deal or movie deal?
With calls and threats of boycotts of any company that pays Casey Anthony money, a crisis management public relations executive says despite predictions by some pundits that Casey Anthony will cash in on her notariety with million dollar book deals and movie projects, the environment is too ‘toxic’ for any company to risk its own reputation to make a deal with Casey Anthony.
“I believe the climate is way too toxic for book publishers or Hollywood to associate itself in any way with Casey Anthony,” says Glenn Selig, who frequently represents high profile names in the news and whose company, The Publicity Agency (www.thepublicityagency.com) advises companies on how to protect and repair an image. “Given the current environment it would be like making a deal with the devil and no reputable company is going to risk everything for a deal like this. I don’t see any book deals or movie deals for Casey Anthony.
“It’s a risk-reward issue and right now at least the risks far outweigh any reward.”
Even companies that have stellar reputations can see images unravel quickly, says Selig.
He says social media–Facebook, Twitter and now Google+ (NASDAQ:GOOG), empower the public to impact corporations in ways never before seen possible. And companies, he says, are mindful of that are not willing to risk their images and potentially tarnishing their brands on one project.
Jose Baez, Casey Anthony’s attorney, is trying to temper the public outrage surrounding the verdict.
In exclusive interview with Geraldo Rivera on Fox News’ “Geraldo at Large,” Jose Baez said the public discourse is disturbing.
“We need to start respecting the jury verdict and decisions that the juries make.” Baez told Rivera on Sunday night.
Casey Anthony was released from jail Sunday after she was acquitted of murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee.
The media has been reporting on a $1-million offer for the first Casey Anthony interview and on a meeting that was scheduled to convert a verbal agreement into a written one.
However, on Fox News, Baez said there was no deal and he cancelled the meeting that was scheduled for today.
“The media focusing on these supposed deals feeds the public outrage,” says Selig. “I would be shocked if any company entered into a business deal with Casey Anthony–at least for the near term.
“The negativity towards the verdict extends beyond Casey Anthony–it also impacts the jury, her parents and to her attorneys.” says Selig.

How many talking-head “experts” have we heard jabbering about Casey Anthony for the past 3 years, and how many of them were right about anything? The American public eagerly awaits Casy Anthony’s first prime-time interview, and the publication of her revealing autobiography.
Glenn Selig seems to gravitate toward losers. His “high profile figure” clients include Rod Blagojevich and Drew Peterson. Casey Anthony would fit in well.
Hey, instead of attacking the messenger, perhaps you want to speak to the topic at hand and whether or not you agree with what I said. It would make for a productive debate on the issue. I don’t think that attacking me is all that productive.
I think the public is angry at this veredict. Remember it was a little girl she killed. No matter what the jurors said. The public declare her gilty. And they don’t forget.
And this money is blood money. If she ever gets a deal.
I would hope no one gives this woman Blood money! If she does get a deal it will have disturbed people all over the US trying the same thing. None of my money will be spent on anythiing dealing with Casey Anthony, I don’t like to read Fiction!
As for her attorney Baez stating to accept the jurys verdict. He would have appealed the verdict so don’t tell the American Public to accept something he would not have accepted if it went the other way!
Saw Glenn Selig on CBC Friday night. He made some great points. I hope that people won’t watch if she does turn up somewhere.
i havent seen an interview with baez. i read about them online news. i refuse to ever watch that geraldo mess bff of baez and mason etal. i hope his show goes into the toilet. i do not respect the jury for a number of reasons. i do not have to and i am sick of hearing the same refrain. oh you have to respect the jury. no i do not. nor do i have to respect the losers on the defense team or their client.
Everytime I see Casey Anthony I think of her wrapping duct tape around a her 3 yr olds head and leaving her in a trunk in over 90% heat to die. If that isn’t an image killer nothing is. I thought of that heat yesterday when I was putting some packages in my trunk. What a vicious way to die. She is truly evil!
