Casey Anthony‘s mom suffered a panic attack while in the hot seat … and it was so severe, she had to walk away from an interview about her late granddaughter.
Cindy Anthony‘s anxiety set in during an interview she did for the A&E and Lifetime doc, “Casey Anthony’s Parents: The Lie Detector Test,” which debuts tonight … and she says she’s convinced her daughter, Casey, knows what happened to 3-year-old Caylee in 2008.
Cindy starts crying during the convo, reaches for her chest and has to step out of the room, claiming to be having a panic attack … her husband, George, quickly goes with her to help calm her down.
It seems the attack didn’t go away, however — as George recommends heading to a hospital as he lays her on the ground to try and get her to relax. We’ve only seen a clip at this point, so it’s unclear just how serious it got.

As we reported, George got emotional during a lie detector test in another preview of the doc, struggling to answer whether or not he concealed his granddaughter’s whereabouts — something Casey claimed.
Remember, Caylee disappeared in June 2008 and her body was found months later — Casey said during her 2011 trial that George disposed of Caylee’s body, and she said in a 2022 doc that he staged her death to make it look like it was Casey’s fault.
Unclear how well the parents passed their lie detector tests … but safe to say that’ll be revealed Thursday night.
