Amanda Knox slams Hollywood’s handling of true-crime films, asking: Where are the ethics?
“When someone is convicted of a crime, our criminal legal system delivers a punishment,” she wrote. “That punishment does not include giving up one’s ‘life rights’ to the Hollywood ecosystem.

Amanda Knox Was Exonerated. That Doesn’t Mean She’s Free.
"It’s the paradox of being “Amanda Knox,” even so many years later: torn between wanting to live an anonymous existence — she fantasizes about moving to a remote village in Germany and becoming a seamstress — and wanting to control the narrative about her; wary of the media who disparaged her, but needing it to promote her professional endeavors; criticized for being so public about her life, but unable to exist privately without the baggage that comes with her name."

Interview with Amanda Knox
“On July 29, Amanda Knox published a thread on Twitter criticizing the new Matt Damon movie Stillwater for profiting off her name. Both Damon and Stillwater director Tom McCarthy said the movie was inspired by Knox’s life—by which they meant the years in her early twenties when Knox was imprisoned in Italy after being convicted of a murder for which she was later acquitted and fully exonerated by the Italian Supreme Court.”

Amanda Knox: 'Stillwater' Movie Repeats 'Fiction' Pushed By Italian Prosecutor
“It’s been 10 years since Knox was freed from that Italian prison. But, despite attempts to move on with her life, the “Amanda Knox saga” continues to follow her. The new film Stillwater, which fictionalizes elements of her story, has prompted Knox to speak out about how it feels to lose control of her own narrative.”

Amanda Knox on why she went after Stillwater
“I’m not arguing legal arguments. I’m arguing human arguments,” says Knox, who feels “Stillwater” refuels conspiratorial suspicions about her that were finally rejected by an Italian court.

Miscarriage is common, yet shrouded in stigma
"One in four pregnancies end in miscarriage, according to the World Health Organization. But while there are cultural scripts for responding to pregnancy and birth, there isn’t one for miscarriage. Instead, families facing pregnancy loss often experience shame, stigma and isolation. Amanda Knox wants to change that."

Amanda Knox Just Wants to Make Hats
"Since then, Knox has been busy. She’s spent her time trying to help others wrongfully accused, giving voice to survivors of true crime and media sensationalization through her podcast, The Truth About True Crime, currently in its second season, which covers the case of the cultish Alamo Christian Foundation. (Season one centered on the Jonestown massacre.) She also has a regular web series, and she’ll be speaking this week at the Death Becomes Us festival. We sat down to talk with Knox about the podcast, the case that made her famous, and her dream of leaving everything behind to make hats."

'Luciferina': An Interview with Amanda Knox
“Though the Republic of Italy has been secular since 1985, on the wall above the judge in the Perugia courtroom hung a giant black crucifix. The main prosecutor, Giuliano Mignini, thundered at the then 22-year-old American defendant, Amanda Knox, on trial in 2009 for the murder, two years earlier, of her British roommate in Perugia, Meredith Kercher, calling her, Knox remembers, a slut and an adulteress.”

Amanda Knox on Her New Show, #MeToo and Life After Prison
“When we label human beings and flatten them to just a splashy headline, we lose decency and the truth. Our long history of exploiting women’s bodies and suppressing their voices had a direct impact on my case and other women’s lives. This doesn’t just affect famous people — the way we engage with women in the public eye is reflected in the way we treat people in our broader society. The 'slut' is given the same treatment on the school ground as the “ho” in the tabloid. We can’t just pretend that this is a thing that affects some people and not other people — that some people matter and others don’t. Everyone deserves context and compassion.”

How Did Being ‘Foxy’ Hurt Amanda Knox?
"Perhaps this century’s most shining example of how 'deviant' female sexuality is associated with criminality and the ruinous fallout of that perception, Knox has had the laser-beam of of gender stereotypes and misunderstood ideas of female sexuality focused on her at point-blank. That weight could have broken anyone. This conference room in West Hollywood, with its neon tributes to Clear Channel’s Top 40 and vases of glass baubles with unknowable purposes, might have looked trite to someone arriving there to bare their soul. Not her. Amanda Knox has gone through hell to stand on a conference room stage in West Hollywood, and she’ll be damned if what happened to her ends in anything other than resilience."

Who is Amanda Knox?
Amanda Knox: 'They'll have to pull me back kicking and screaming to prison'
"She cups a latte and talks about university, living with her boyfriend James, making new friends. So you’re just a regular student, I say. She gulps. 'To have a Hunger Games moment with you, at a certain point the main character is talking about how he doesn’t want the games to change him. He’s a pawn, and he’s just in it, and it’s overwhelming his life, but he doesn’t want it to define who he is. And I felt like that. I don’t want this to be my life.' But the reality, she admits, is somewhat different."

Ruling Looms in Italy for Amanda Knox in ’07 Killing
“'People who accuse me argue that justice cannot be done for Meredith unless I am convicted,' Ms. Knox said. 'It’s a mind-set where there are criminals and there are victims, and if you’re accused of being a criminal, there’s no way you can be a victim.'"

Amanda Knox: My True Story
“'In the courtroom I was called a liar and a murderer and a demon; in the media I was called a weird, jealous whore,' she says. 'Suddenly I wasn’t me.' It’s in part to address those doubts that she has written a new memoir, Waiting to Be Heard, a raw and dramatic account of her lost years—and it is why she agreed to speak exclusively to PEOPLE, followed by a Diane Sawyer Primetime special on April 30. 'I’m tired of speculation,' she says. 'I wanted to lay myself out in a completely honest way. It was, ‘You can judge me, but this is what you have to judge me on.'"

Amanda Knox: On the record
“I really, really want this to not be just about what happened to me, but about what one can do in a bad place. And I’d love for it to open a discussion about some of the problems that surrounded my case — for instance, the idea of a public identity. The idea of trying to find the familiar in the completely unfamiliar. This existential crisis of things happening to you that you don’t understand.”
