Amanda Knox

506 replies

YourBrickTiger · 21/08/2025 09:08

I see there is another Amanda Knox series out on Hulu/Disney. I've always followed the case closely. But I have mixed feelings. At first I thought Amanda was involved in the murder but as time has gone on, there isn't a shred of proof (from a DNA pov) against her. But should she continue to make money from the case? I feel deeply sorry for Meredith's family. As her sister Stephanie said, Meredith is the 'forgotten victim' in this. I understand she did spend 4 years behind bars and wants to be vindicated - and she does help other innocent victims who have been jailed - but I feel it's too much now and that Meredith is being lost in it all. What do you think?

I’m replying to your posts directed at me 😂

You replied to the post where i asked you to leave me alone.

There was no need to reply to that

The way mumsnet works is that if someone writes something on a thread, other posters get to reply to it.

They are not allowed to write personal abuse and insults over and over which she is continually doing.

God ive never seen anything like it directed towards me on here.

She is scary

Back to the topic. Raffaele was in a huge amount of headlines at the time

I assume you mean straddle, not ‘straggle’?

What would be the correct way to behave in this not normal scenario then?

What is it you think is an insult, calling you a liar? Because I've never seen anything suggest that's against guidelines, especially not when someone has lied.

I'm also interested to hear more about this 'stalking'- has she followed you elsewhere, PM'd you? If so, that's obviously wrong. But I'd be careful about throwing that kind of term about if it's simply about continuing to reply to you on one thread. I'm not sure I'd use the term manic either, that's quite a can of worms to open.

I categorically haven’t done any of those things, no. Merely responded to her on this thread.

In fact I think accusing me of ‘stalking’ is personal abuse. And another lie.

I was talking to another poster about a completely different topic and you jumped on and brought up the photo topic again.

You then called me a " photo inventor "in your next post.

You then called me a liar over and over.

Why can't you say things once and leave it there?

You say insults over and over and over

After all that i asked you to leave me alone several times and you still would not.

That is pure stalking.

Will you ever leave me alone?

SomeOfTheTrouble · 30/08/2025 17:27

(Just to point out I am no longer replying to that poster, she is now replying to comments I made to someone else)

RosaMoline · 30/08/2025 17:28

RS didn’t get half the negative press that AK did. Plus, his family were wealthy, so he didn’t have to worry about legal fees. AK’s family are not rich, so they were left deeply in debt. I have no issue with AK making money out of this.
I followed the case closely at the time, and I even wrote to both of them in prison. I had no doubt they were both innocent. The prosecutors theory was so far fetched, it was laughable. Plus how does one participate in a bloody murder and manage to eradicate every single fingerprint/evidence in that room? Only one perpetrator, and that was RG.
The over sexualised headlines about AK were abhorrent back then…all that ‘foxy knoxy’ crap, and false rumours about buying sexy lingerie the next day.

Even if we were to take the argument that he got comparable coverage to Amanda at it very highest, the fact that he wrote a book about the experience means your argument that he's behaved better than her is moot. If one of them is to be criticised for 'cashing in' so is the other.

Yes i accept i didn't know that he had written a book. I see that now.

I don't like either of them doing it.
He obviously got a lot of money for it..

She obviously got offered huge money for netflix.

It seems distasteful to me

SomeOfTheTrouble · 30/08/2025 17:34

My last post on the matter… I don’t think anyone who lies about the existence of evidence then refuses to acknowledge their lie has the moral high ground when someone else calls them out on their lie.
I’ll leave it there.

You've already written that. Multiple times.

Do you not remember what you have already written?

It's distasteful that people continuously criticise a wrongfully convicted person who was also a victim in this situation.

But then that's part of the reason that she can earn so much money from it, if the 'guilters' and those who criticise her would leave her alone her earning potential from media would be far less!

Applebun · 30/08/2025 17:41

I was just reading online that Raffaele made 500,000 pounds from his book and Amanda made 2.4 million english pounds from her first book.

Its a lot of money.

Ok sweetheart, enjoy the rest of your weekend shouting at clouds or whatever your other hobbies are when you're not on Mumsnet accusing people of stalking you because they're replying to posts you willing chose to write and put on a public forum.
