Karmelo Anthony’s Family Sparks Outrage with Lavish Purchases and Controversial Video
We’ve been following the unfolding story surrounding Karmelo Anthony, and the latest developments have ignited a firestorm of controversy. Just days after Anthony’s release on bond, his family is reportedly “living large,” making headlines for some eyebrow-raising purchases that have left neighbors furious.
It seems the Anthony family has acquired a brand new Cadillac Escalade, reportedly worth $150,000. This luxury SUV supposedly complements their move into a substantial home. While initial reports mentioned an $800,000 home, later information suggests the family is now residing in a home in a gated community listed for $863,000, with some outlets claiming it to be a $900,000 property. Neighbors in the exclusive neighborhood have voiced their outrage and concerns about the family moving in, with one anonymous mother stating, “I don’t think he should be out”. Another neighbor pointed out, “if they live in a gated community, they’re not poor people”.
Adding fuel to the fire, Anthony’s team released a controversial POV video, apparently filmed on Rayban Metaglasses. This video allegedly shows them intimidating a female reporter who was trying to ask questions after Anthony’s release. The video even includes a comment about giving the reporter “that look” and an alleged “Adigan threat” from a security guard. The decision to release such a video has been widely criticized.
These developments come after a crowdfunding effort reportedly raised nearly half a million dollars ($500,000) for Anthony’s “legal defense”. Questions are now being raised about whether these donated funds were used to purchase the new home and the luxury vehicle. Concerns have been voiced, with some suggesting that using legal defense funds for such purchases could potentially be considered fraud.
Furthermore, despite earlier claims of bullying, it has been reported that the Frisco Police Department has confirmed that Austin Medclaf and Karmelo Anthony did not know each other. They were also both scheduled to be at the track meet on the day of the incident and arrived via Frisco ISD transportation. This contradicts much of the disinformation that has been circulating online. The police department has even issued a statement cautioning the community against trusting everything online, highlighting the detrimental impact of false information on the case.
We continue to follow this developing story and will bring you further updates as they become available.
