A lawsuit that will be ruled upon by a judge soon could shed light on rumors that Casey Anthony has been spotted at parties and bars on Siesta Key, Florida.

Sightings were reported earlier this year, prompting people to wonder what was going on with Caylee Anthony’s mother.

A woman named Zenaida Gonzalez has sued Casey Anthony for defamation, claiming that her life was ruined after Anthony used a similar name for a fictitious nanny who she claimed had abducted her daughter, Caylee in 2008.

Anthony spoke during a murder trial but was later acquitted of her daughter’s murder.

Though Casey filed for bankruptcy after the trial, Gonzalez wants potential damages from her civil suit against Anthony to be exempt from bankruptcy.

Click Orlando reports that the federal judge in charge of the case said earlier this month that he'll make a ruling on whether to throw out the lawsuit or have it proceed by October 8. 

While Anthony’s attorney’s believe the lawsuit is frivolous and want it thrown out, Gonzalez and her attorneys want the case to go before a jury.

Private eye Bill Warner, who reported the sightings of Casey and has been investigating her life ever since, says that the lawsuit, if it moves forward, “could mean even more controversy for Casey Anthony.”

If the case does move to trial, Gonzalez and her attorneys “could likely ask about the alleged sources of revenue Casey has found since her 2011 acquittal,” he said.

A source told Warner that Casey is able to maintain her carefree lifestyle thanks to “a few benefactors” who are enamored with her and “pay for everything.”

Casey’s attorney told CNN earlier this year that Casey doesn’t leave her home much because of continued threats against her life, and added that she money from being “a housekeeper, clerk, secretary and stuff like that.”
