Negative Perception Negates deals for Casey Anthony

Over the past three years, Casey Anthony has made a name for herself.  She is one of the most recognizable women in the world right now.  However, the way she acquired her infamous reputation had to do with the murder of her 2 and half year old daughter, Caylee Anthony.  


Even though Casey was not found guilty of the murder do to insufficient proof, many entertainment professionals were aware of the attention that was drawn to this case.  Hence, they assumed that they should cash in on her persona right away.  As of right now, Casey has been offered a deal to appear on the Maury Show, a deal to star in an adult film, a movie concerning the case seems to be in the works, and of course a million dollar book deal.  


However, several of those offers have been retracted due to the negative perception she has made for herself.  Vivid's Co-Chairman, Steven Hirsch, has reportedly changed his mind after Vivid fans expressed that they want nothing to do with Anthony.   


The question now is, will the other offers be retracted?  If the porn industry does not want anything to to with Cassey, how will other appearances and books sell?  The idea that these offers are directly intended to profict Casey, may in fact turn off the consumers.  However, there has not been such a hype of interest in such a case since the O.J. Simpson trial.  There has been talk that the jurors should come together to write a book about their experiences during this trial.  There may be better chances of a profit for the jurors than there may be for Anthony.  I have seen many messages throughout social media of people protesting Casey Anthony's offers.
