Amanda Knox, the former American college student who was acquitted twice in Italy over the slaying of her roommate, is not happy about the latest Hollywood take on the sensational story that garnered worldwide attention.
as told through a fictional twist on the 2007 murder case, commonly referred to as the "Amanda Knox saga.""This new film by director Tom McCarthy, starring Matt Damon, is 'loosely based' or 'directly inspired by' the 'Amanda Knox saga,' as Vanity Fair put it in a for-profit article promoting a for-profit film, neither of which I am affiliated with," she tweeted Thursday.
"I want to pause right here on that phrase: 'the Amanda Knox saga.' What does that refer to? Does it refer to anything I did? No," she added. "It refers to the events that resulted from the murder of Meredith Kercher by a burglar named Rudy Guede.'" The 34-year-old public speaker said the "saga" should refer to "the shoddy police work, prosecutorial tunnel vision, and refusal to admit their mistakes" that led Italian authorities to wrongfully convict her twice. "In those four years of wrongful imprisonment and 8 years of trial, I had near-zero agency," she wrote. "Everyone else in that 'saga' had more influence over events than I did.
Because she was the focus, Knox said that many complained that her slain roommate, Meredith Kercher, "had been forgotten" and blamed her for that too. "The result of this is that 15 years later, my name is the name associated with this tragic series of events, of which I had zero impact on. Meredith’s name is often left out, as is Rudy Guede’s."
