Amanda Knox Claps Back on Leaked Diary About Sex With 7 Past Partners

by

Amanda Knox isn’t ashamed of her past romances.

In a recent critique regarding an old diary entry, a woman aged 38 provided a fascinating reaction. She had disclosed that she had slept with seven partners by the time she turned 20. This intimate revelation was made public due to Italian authorities leaking it following accusations against her and her then-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, for the murder of their roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007.

On July 15 (as recorded in an old journal entry), while under interrogation regarding Kercher’s murder, Knox mentioned people with whom she had had intimate relationships. This was after she was mistakenly told by the authorities that she had contracted HIV.

She wrote, “I’m unsure about how I might have contracted HIV, so here’s a list of individuals with whom I’ve engaged in sexual activities in the past.

Reflecting on her diary entry from X July 15, Knox penned: “For years, I’ve been labeled as a perverted sexual being in society. This label has seeped into me, causing some feelings of shame, even though I knew deep down that my sexuality was nothing out of the ordinary (in fact, it was quite ordinary).

As a devoted supporter, I found myself at odds with an individual’s interpretation of a statement made. In reaction to their tweet about my assessment, they sarcastically countered, “Sleeping with seven men prior to the age of 19 is as ordinary as a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Knox promptly responded to the comment, reminding her critic of the reason she initially penned that journal entry.

She responded in a message on July 15, “Yes, by age 20, I had slept with 7 people; 3 were serious relationships, one was Raffaele. My personal details were exposed after police deceived me into believing I had HIV, instructed me to list my partners, seized my diary, and leaked its contents to the media. In my diary, I wrote, ‘I don’t want to die.’

In 2009, Knox and Sollecito were found guilty of Kercher’s murder. However, they were later acquitted during a retrial in 2011. Throughout their imprisonment, they insisted on their innocence. Eventually, Italy’s supreme court cleared them of all charges in 2015, stating that the evidence was inconsistent and the investigation had fundamental errors from the beginning.

2019 saw the European Court of Human Rights decide that the initial questioning of Knox by law enforcement infringed upon her human rights. They further stipulated that the Italian judicial system should compensate her with approximately €18,000.

During testimony at the European Court of Human Rights, Amanda Knox, whose case is famously depicted in the 2016 Netflix movie “Amanda Knox,” elaborated on why the police interrogation was her most dreaded ordeal as she struggled to communicate effectively due to being questioned in a language she scarcely understood.

In 2019, as I struggled to recall specifics, one of the officers lightly tapped my head and exclaimed, “Recall, recall!” said Knox, a mother of two with husband Christopher Robinson. Then, I pieced together fragments of memories, and the police coerced me into signing a statement. This act was an infringement on my rights, I felt.

In a six-part HBO series from director Andrew Jarecki in 2015, it’s hard to pinpoint which aspect left viewers stunned the most: Was it astounding that real estate heir and suspected murderer Robert Durst agreed to be interviewed by the filmmaker for over 20 hours across several years? Or was it more shocking when the series concluded, capturing Durst on tape, burping profusely, as he mumbled to himself, “What in the world have I done? I’ve killed them all, of course.

In the six-part 2019 documentary series on Lifetime about R. Kelly, the accusations were undeniably shocking and disturbing. However, what truly moved us was the heartrending effort by Dominique Gardner’s mother, Michelle Kramer (seen above in this year’s sequel), to rescue her, one of R. Kelly’s girlfriends. This rescue attempt, which ultimately succeeded, was truly gripping.

What initially sparked everything was a 13-episode series, first aired as a miniseries in 2004 and later added to Netflix in 2018, produced by French director Jean-Xavier de Lestrade. This series chronicled the trial of crime novelist Michael Peterson, who was accused of murdering his wife Kathleen in 2001. It served as a precursor for many subsequent productions, with its intriguing twists that are increasingly bizarre, none more so than the suggestion that the real culprit could have been an owl – yes, you read that correctly.

In late 2019, Netflix premiered a thrilling three-part series filled with unexpected twists: detective work by internet sleuths surpassing the abilities of real law enforcement, an enigmatic Canadian serial killer defying all stereotypes while dispatching body parts to high-ranking officials via post, and a connection to the movie “Basic Instinct” so daring that you’ll be left stunned when the truth unfolds.

By the time the main conflict in this 2018 six-part Netflix series, centered around the Rajneeshpuram community’s clash with Wasco County, Oregon, escalates into what’s considered the largest biological warfare incident in American history, you’ll be amazed. And it’s hard to forget Ma Anand Sheela, once the spokesperson for the Rajneesh movement and a harsh secretary to founder Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. After all, she did plan to assassinate the federal prosecutor appointed by President Reagan to investigate them.

One intriguing aspect of the 2016 CBS docuseries commemorating the 20-year anniversary of the murder of six-year-old beauty queen JonBenét stood out: it seemed implausible that viewers thought the investigative team would uncover anything close to the truth. The accusation that Burke, her brother, was responsible led CBS Corp. to face a defamation lawsuit, demanding compensatory damages of at least $250 million and punitive damages of at least $500 million. The case was ultimately settled outside of court.

A noteworthy true crime series, which kicks off with a bank robber wearing a bomb around his neck succumbing during a broadcasted standoff with state police, as the bomb detonates, will either struggle to match such an incredibly bizarre and tragic opening event or become one of the most mind-blowing stories ever told. In the instance of the 2018 four-part Netflix series, it falls into the latter category, primarily due to the complex serial killer plot orchestrated by Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong.

One intriguing aspect of the groundbreaking 2015 Netflix series, the platform’s initial foray into streaming, was its infuriating portrayal of flaws within the justice system. Regardless of your opinions regarding Steven Avery‘s involvement in the murder of Teresa Halbach, it’s hard to ignore the distressing scene where his 16-year-old nephew, Brendan Dassey, is compelled to confess without legal counsel or a parent present during the interrogation.
