Casey Anthony Voicemail: Family Who Hid Her After Trial Asks "What is WRONG With You?"

The pastor's family that Casey Anthony hid with after her shocking murder trial acquittal last year left a scathing voicemail for her this January.

Pastor Steve Camp and his wife Cindy run the Cross Church of Palm City where Casey was rumored to be hiding out after her release from jail.

In the voicemail, Cindy voices heartbreaking betrayal and urges Casey Anthony her not to deal with powerhouse attorney Jose Baez any longer.

She also calls her out for being selfish and self-centered.

Cindy Camp lambasts Baez for taking advantage of their family and Casey, then goes OFF on the 26-year-old's recent behavior, with few specifics.

The voicemail was left in January 2012, just days after bizarre the Casey Anthony diary video showing off her "new life" somehow leaked online.

That same week, Baez called it quits, opting to no longer represent the accused child murderer. It's unclear why the two decided to part ways.

Here is the voicemail transcribed and obtained by Radar Online:

It is Friday night. I just listened to your conversation with Steve when you hung up on him. I want you to know something. You are dealing with the wrong person when you're dealing with Jose. He is the one that gives us up. This is no longer about you.

I've had media parked out front at the end of my driveway for the last 48 hours. People are protesting, they're throwing rocks, they're coming up to the door, some guys are leaving you notes and love letters. This is not about you. This is about our church, this is about my family. My daughter's picture has been on the Internet and Steve hasn't said a word. Not one word.

People are writing the most vile, repulsive things to him via e-mail and Twitter and Facebook and it's just disgusting and he has not said a word. You are siding with the wrong person. Jose is going to do you wrong. He's already done you wrong. He's sold us out and we know it for a fact. I don't care if you don't want to hear it, that is a fact.

You have a church here, you have people that care about you and have protected you. We haven't said a word, until, all of a sudden, it would be good to know that you were just going to up and leave four days ago, we could have made a very simple statement and avoided all of this hassle.

But this is unbelievable to me and I think you need to rethink and seriously pray about what you're doing. This has nothing to do with you down in your undisclosed location, it's right here hot in my yard, and we are still sticking up for you. I just want you to know that because we love you and we've cared for you. And that is not going to change. We will still protect you.

But this is just…don't you ever hang up on my husband again. He has been the truest strength you've ever had and the kids are just going to be heartbroken. I don't know what you're doing. I can't believe it. For once get outside your own head and think of someone else. Think of this family…they deserve thanks, thanks for having my back here, I'm sorry you have to go through this…nothing! It's just all about you! What is wrong with you?! Really?

Anyway, that's all I have to say so I guess we'll hear from you or something, I hope. Anyway, I do love you. I want you to think seriously about what you're doing, not just for you, but for all involved. Thank you. Goodnight.

Yelp?s Post-IPO Earnings: $27.4M in Revenue, Up 66% From A Year Earlier, But Net Loss Triples

In its first ever earnings report as a publicly-traded company, Yelp said it earned $27.4 million in revenue, up 66 percent from the $16.5 million it made in the same time a year ago. However, the company more than tripled its net losses, mostly on rising costs associated with supporting a larger sales staff. It lost $9.8 million, up from the $2.7 million it lost in the same time a year earlier. That loss of 31 cents per share was about double what analysts had estimated. Analysts had predicted a loss of 15 cents per share, according to a Bloomberg survey. Looking at the sheet, Yelp's loss expanded mostly on sales, marketing and administrative costs. Sales and marketing costs rose to $18.8 million, up from $11.3 million the year before. On the earnings call, the company said much of this headcount growth came from international expansion, which it has yet to fully monetize. In the first quarter, Yelp launched in 11 new markets, eight of which were international.

Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney Break Up!

Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney have reportedly broken up.

The pop superstar and the model-actor, who has appeared on The Vampire Diaries, are officially "on a break," a source tells Us Weekly this afternoon.

"She will be touring nonstop until next year and has found she can't have a relationship at the same time," the insider says of her upcoming mega-tour.

"There's just no room for anything else. Her work is all-consuming."

Still, the couple of 10 months was showing signs of cracking for some time, even before rumors of her possibly getting back together with Luc Carl.

The reason, allegedly? Kinney not doting on The Gaga,

"Taylor was all about himself, a typical actor, and didn't completely get Gaga," says the friend, suggesting that it wasn't meant to be. "She just loved that she got this guy who everyone thought was hot! But it was never going to last."

"Taylor was never that attentive to her."

The two first met on the set of Lady Gaga's "You and I" video. While a reconciliation isn't officially off the table for these two, don't hold your breath.
