Casey Anthony appeared in public for a hearing on Monday, giving a rare glimpse of her depressing life after she was acquitted of murder and filed for Florida bankruptcy.

She told the trustee that she's been living off friends and supporters and even accepted cash from her lawyer Jose Baez to pay for her "living expenses."

In her first public appearance since the murder trial of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Marie Anthony, Casey confessed she is unemployed and has no income beyond the money and gift cards given by both random supporters and friends allowing her to live rent-free. She claimed she had just under $500 to her name, Daily News reported.

"I guess you could say I'm living free off the kindness" of others, Casey said at the hearing in Tampa.

In court, Casey's hair was long and dark; she wore sunglasses, black heels, stockings and carried a black hat. She did not address the media and even pushed them away while making her way inside the courtroom.

"Stop," she shouted at the cameras.

During the hour-long proceeding, the 26-year-old answered "yes sir" or "no sir" to most of the trustee's questions.

Casey said her criminal lawyer Jose Baez gave her about $3,400 in cash "to help with my living expenses" even though she still owes him for her trial defense. She did not reveal who pays for her cell phone, claiming her safety would be at risk.

Casey filed for bankruptcy in Florida in late January, claiming about $1,000 in assets and $792,000 in liabilities.

Her listed debts include $500,000 for attorney fees and costs for her criminal defense lawyer during the trial; $145,660 to the Orange County Sheriff's office for investigative fees and costs; $68,540 to the Internal Revenue Service for taxes, interest and penalties; and $61,505 to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for court costs.

She also told the trustee Monday that she transferred her interest in about a dozen photos to Baez in 2008 and that he later made some $200,000 selling licensing rights to ABC, which helped her pay for her defense.
