Karmelo Anthony’s family is taking heat online for allegedly blowing through over half a million dollars in donations and asking for another $1.4 million.
The teenager has been charged with first-degree murd3r for the st@bbing of Austin Metcalf earlier this year, and his family had raised over $500,000 via GiveSendGo.
Despite receiving said amount, they recently requested a public defender, an obvious suggestion that they aren’t able to afford one for trial.
Of course, this hasn’t gone down well, at least not on social media.
After raising $540,000, Karmelo Anthony requested a taxpayer-funded public defender—claiming indigency.
Simultaneously, his family raised their donation goal to $1.4 million on GiveSendGo.

“This is the first time I’ve felt bad for Karmelo. Yes, he murd3red a kid.But his family raised money off of evil public sentiment ostensibly to provide for an excellent legal defense, then kept it all for themselves. Truly an evil family,” one user wrote.
“The family knows he’s guilty and he’s going away so they’re just trying to grab as much money out of it as they possibly can,” said a second.
“They pulled an easy scam 😂. Now they have brand new house and a brand new car,” another claimed.

The Anthonys are asking for the $1.4 million so they can seek safe relocation following d3ath threats, as well as for legal expenses, security equipment, counseling, legal counsel, and a team of investigators.
Karmelo Anthony’s mother, Kaya Hayes, had previously denied using the donations on a new house and car. It’s also said that the family is not one of little means and has always lived in a posh, gated community.
Meanwhile, a date for the murd3r trial has not been set. Karmelo remains under house arrest.

LSU Tigers star Angel Resse has been making a lot of headlines after her match against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Reese has a unique fashion for her matches, she wears leggings on only one of her legs and she recently revealed the secret of doing so.
Reese lost her recent game against the Iowa Hawkeyes which left the fans wondering if she would continue with LSU or declare for the WNBA draft. Those questions have also been answered by Reese in her recent collaboration with Vogue.
Why does Angel Reese wear one legging attire?
Angel Reese wears only one legging as a part of her one-court attire and the fans have grown curious about it. Many people speculated that it was part of a superstition that Reese followed, however, that is not the case. The LSU star has herself revealed the reason for the unique dressing choice and it may surprise a lot of people.
“I had surgery two years back on my shin. I have a rod in my leg… I cover the scar on one, and then the two players that I admire, Te’a Cooper and A’ja Wilson, also wear it, too. So it is swag. But I have used it to cover my scar,” said Angel Reese. She revealed that she had surgery on her leg and had a scar on it. She wears the leggings to hide that scar and at the same time as a swag fashion accessory.
Angel Reese declares for WNBA draft with Vogue photoshoot
After the Tigers failed to stand up against Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes the fans were left wondering if the LSU star Angel Reese would declare for the upcoming NBA draft. Reese has answered those questions with a beautiful photoshoot in collaboration with Vogue. Reese did a photo shoot with the brand and announced that she would be declaring for the WNBA draft.
Reese expressed her thoughts about the decision on her official X (formerly Twitter) account. “Making my announcement with VOGUE was ICONIC. In the new world that I am stepping into, just believe in me, trust in me, and give me time to learn and grow!” said Reese in the post. She thanked her supporters for their support and love and also asked them to trust her in her new journey.
