Body Language Expert Tells Us How Casey Anthony's Outward Appearance Is Hiding Inner Turmoil

August 2024 ยท 2 minute read

The documentary "Casey Anthony: Where The Truth Lies" is a three-part series airing exclusively on Peacock, streaming starting November 29th. A very brief YouTube teaser trailer for the documentary was released on November 8, 2022. It features a very pained-looking Casey on camera being interviewed and asked the question, "Why talk to me now when you're not getting creative control?" by someone off-screen. Casey Anthony doesn't speak at all during the trailer, but she did provide plenty of non-verbal communication, so we had Ponce, a body language expert, take a careful look at what she did during the 60-second trailer. As it turns out, she did a lot. "Casey is definitely nervous," he told Grunge. "It is like watching someone who just got on the witness stand and is about to testify."

There are a few more things to note from the teaser as well: there is a mixture of both anxiety and resolve here. Ponce explained that her fashion signifies both professionalism and polish, though they alone cannot hide some clear-cut signs of inner struggle. According to Carolyn Mair, Ph.D., a fashion psychology expert who was a guest on a podcast for the American Psychological Association (APA), fashion can say a lot about a person. "The clothes we put on every day tell a story about who we are to the world and can have a major impact on our emotions and mood," Dr. Mair said. This psychology could help explain the inherent divide between what Casey's clothes say vs. what her body says.
