In fact, I said boycott Italy until they release her. It was really an injustice. And I would get on that plane so fast if I were her and get out. They went through a lot; I just felt badly. For her to spend four years in a terrible jail is just outrageous. You have turned into a left wing lunatic.
I see your experience in Italy has left you completely ungrateful to be an American. You should be ashamed of yourself. In one such column, published in November, Knox said Trump's political platform concerned her and questioned why she should be obligated to endorse him.
Knox recently took to Twitter to express her dismay at the Hollywood film, Stillwater, which tells the story of an American university student on exchange in France where she's imprisoned for a murder she didn't commit. The film's director Tom McCarthy has spoken about his interest in Amanda Knox , though he's denied the film is based on her story. He has said in creating the film he decided at a certain point to "leave the Amanda Knox case behind".
Knox argues that words like "inspired by" offer permission for storytellers to profit off a "salacious, scandalous version of a story that still is a pernicious false narrative that impacts me to this day". It's a version that might cast doubt over whether Knox or the character inspired by her really was involved in the murder, or it might play into media depictions of Knox as "Foxy Knoxy" — someone who is sexually promiscuous and then somehow also of dubious moral standing.
The truth is that Knox has twice been exonerated of the murder of British student Meredith Kercher, who was Knox's housemate in Perugia, Italy, at the time of the killing. I didn't really do anything," she says.
In , a panel of Italian judges acknowledged "stunning flaws" in the investigation of Kercher's murder , adding that Knox was subjected to false accusation. After being released from prison, Knox thought she might regain some anonymity. Instead, she returned to her home in Seattle to find it surrounded by paparazzi who followed her to school or to the shops.
They even snuck into her wedding in In Australia, Lindy Chamberlain's wrongful conviction for the murder of her daughter in provides another example of a narrative co-opted by popular culture.
As film critic Luke Buckmaster writes, "The words 'the dingo took my baby! But, as we know, they came from a nightmarishly real place. John Bryson, author of Evil Angels, one of the most famous books, later adapted to film, to emerge from the case, makes a strong argument for both Lindy and Michael Chamberlain's innocence.
But that couldn't stop the condemnation from the many Australians who'd become invested in the Chamberlains' case, fuelled in no small part by the extensive media coverage.
Joanne Lees, the British woman whose partner Peter Falconio was murdered on a remote stretch of highway in the Northern Territory in , provides another example of a story overshadowing an individual.
A media storm surrounded the case while Ms Lees faced years of public speculation about her character. In a interview with The Times in the UK, Lees described being "portrayed in the most luridly negative way in the press, and all but accused of murder".
Ms Lewinsky has in recent years spoken out about the trauma of the relentless public scrutiny she faced, and she has recently helped shape a new TV series exploring the Bill Clinton impeachment. She was trying to live a private citizen's life and was denied that opportunity again and again," she says. Knox would like those with "immense power in the storytelling industry" — Hollywood film-makers and the media included — to understand that their work can impact "real people who don't have the same privilege of storytelling".
