A Collin County judge reduced Anthony’s bond from $1 million to $250 000.
He was released on that reduced bond and is currently under house arrest with an ankle monitor at his parents’ home.
💸 Fundraising & Financial Support
The family set up an online fundraiser (GiveSendGo) that has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to help with legal expenses, relocation, and related costs.
There have been false rumors online claiming they bought a mansion or luxury vehicles with donated funds — those claims have not been substantiated by reliable news outlets.
In fact, the fundraising platform itself says the family has not withdrawn the funds yet.
🧨 Safety Concerns & Public Reaction
The family has reported harassment and threats, leading a local advocacy group to say courts approved moving Anthony’s residence to an “undisclosed location” for safety.
Social media has seen a surge of misinformation, partly because of the emotionally charged nature of the case.
📉 Rumor vs. Reality
Parents were “kicked out of a $30 million mansion” due to debt and luxury spending.
✅ Reality:
There is no verified news report of a $30 million mortgage, eviction, foreclosure, or similar financial collapse tied to Karmelo Anthony’s parents.
The only reported financial matters revolve around fundraising for legal aid and the costs facing the family while under intense public scrutiny.
🧾 Why the Rumor Spread
The viral video you referenced (e.g., YouTube) appears to blend unrelated claims and sensational speculation rather than hard facts. These types of posts often mix misinformation about fundraising, house renting/purchase, and exaggerated debt figures — even when reputable outlets have not reported them.
📌 Bottom Line
There is no confirmation that they were evicted over a huge debt.
The confirmed story is about a legal case, threats to the family, and ongoing fundraising for defense and safety.
