‘THE WHOLE WORLD KNEW WHO I HAD SEX WITH’
Amanda Knox reveals horror of having every detail of her sex life made public in new Netflix documentary
Ex-student says press portrayed her as a 'whore – bestial and sex-obsessed and unnatural'
AMANDA Knox has revealed in a new documentary how she is still constantly confronted by the headlines that the Meredith Kercher murder case generated.
Knox – who was twice convicted and twice exonerated of involvement in Meredith’s killing – said she found her sex life constantly under the microscope during the protracted case.

“The whole world knew who I had ever had sex with,” she said.
“Seven men and yet I was some heinous whore – bestial and sex-obsessed and unnatural.
“I get into a line at the grocery store and the person behind me is like: ‘Woah, it’s you. I know you.’
“And I really want to turn to them and say: ‘Who the f*** are you?’”
Knox — or “Foxy Knoxy” as she was dubbed by the press at the time — and her then boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were accused of sexually assaulting, beating and slitting the throat of the British student.
But despite the Italian Supreme Court throwing out the case for good in 2015, there are still many who believe Knox and Sollecito were part of the brutal killing.

“There are people who believe in my innocence and there are people who believe in my guilt and there’s no in between,” Knox said in the opening moments of the documentary.
“Either I’m a psychopath in sheep’s clothing … or I am you.”
The film tries to show both sides of Knox without conclusively telling viewers what to think.
One side aims to convince us she was just a kid who had her name splashed across front pages all over the world.

“Suddenly I found myself tossed into this dark place,” she told the documentary.
“I felt like a child again.”
The other side argues she was the sexually depraved ‘Foxy Knoxy’, who was at the centre of one of the world’s most mysterious murder trials.
She was accused of persuading her boyfriend to join in on her plan to murder Kercher.

And footage of the pair kissing and cuddling outside the blood-soaked crime scene was seen as evidence of their guilt at the time.
But the video is re-examined in the documentary from a different wide angle, giving the filmmakers pause.
Documentary maker Brian McGinn said: “In the wide shot you see the whole scene ... and the situation is so chaotic that it calls into question, ‘Was their behaviour in appropriate or were they simply consoling each other?’”
Amanda Knox is available to view on Netflix.
