Summary

A fake image depicting Karmelo Anthony crying in court was circulated on social media platform X on June 9, 2026. Fact-checkers determined the image was not authentic because no cameras were permitted in the courtroom during his trial, and Anthony’s hairstyle in the image did not match his appearance at the time of the trial or the mugshot released after sentencing. The viral post was made by user @Honeys_Money1, who captioned the image with an emotional message.
