.AmandaKnox says any connection between her life and the new film 'Stillwater' rips off “my story without my consent at the expense of my reputation.”
Knox called out various publications and director Tom McCarthy for using her name to promote the movie. She wrote that his “fictionalized version of me is just the tabloid conspiracy guiltier version of me.”“Does my name belong to me? Does my face? What about my life? My story? Why is my name used to refer to events I had no hand in? I return to these questions because others continue to profit off my name, face, and story without my consent,” she wrote.
Knox was the subject of worldwide headlines after the murder in Perugia, Italy, of British student Meredith Kercher in 2007. Knox and Knox’s then-boyfriend were placed under suspicion. Both were initially convicted, but after a series of flip-flop decisions, Italy’s highest court threw out the convictions in 2015. An unrelated man is serving a 16-year sentence for the murder.
“By fictionalizing away my innocence, my total lack of involvement, by erasing the role of the authorities in my wrongful conviction, McCarthy reinforces an image of me as a guilty and untrustworthy person,” Knox wrote. At the Cannes Film Festival earlier this month, where “Stillwater” was screened, McCarthy said Knox’s case served as an “initial inspiration point but not much beyond that. I just had a daughter then and I thought how it would be like.”
