Casey Anthony Makes First Appearance Since Acquittal in 2011

March 4, 2013 Updated Mar 4, 2013 at 10:56 AM PDT

Casey Anthony appeared in public Monday for the first time since being acquitted of murdering her two-year old daughter Caylee in 2011.

She arrived at a federal bankruptcy hearing in Tampa, Fla., early in the day to face her creditors. She is expected to be asked how she has been supporting herself.

Anthony filed for bankruptcy in late January, claiming she had $1,000 in assets and nearly $800,000 in debts, including $500,000 owed to her former attorney Jose Baez, NBC station WESH in Orlando reported.

Anyone who is owed money by Anthony can attend the hearing and ask her questions, WESH reported.

One of Anthony's lawyers, Charles Greene, told WESH in late January that Anthony had been "living on the kindness of friends for the most part."

"There are people that believe in her that will see her through this ordeal," Greene said after Anthony filed bankruptcy papers.
He said Anthony filed for bankruptcy to stop people from coming after her with lawsuits.
