Anthony was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison after he stabbed and killed 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet. The verdict has sparked intense debate.
On Monday, a group of civil rights and criminal defense attorneys announced they were going to join Anthony's fight to appeal his conviction.
He has a new legal team that includes Ben Crump's law firm.
The Longview victim said the attack was unprovoked. She also wrote in the post she "never said a word to these girls," she "never looked at them" and indicated she did not know them prior to the attack.
In the same post, the victim wrote that the Anthony case has "nothing" to do with her yet the assault resulted in injuries including a black eye, staples in her head and significant bleeding.
Fox News Digital spoke to the victim's father, who said she is still very shaken up over the incident but that she feels it's important for the public to "know what happened," when referring to her public social post.
Fox News Digital confirmed the Longview Police Department is investigating the attack and has arrested one suspect in connection to it. Police did not name the suspect.
The investigation is ongoing.
