Amanda Knox Should Stop: Profiting from Meredith's Tragedy and the Letby Murders is Distasteful

WITH high-profile court cases we have all played our own little game of judge and jury at home. And few came bigger than the case of Amanda Knox.

After she was accused of murdering her flatmate, fellow student , in Perugia, , she was tried, convicted, jailed, acquitted, tried again and convicted again.

Finally, after spending four years behind bars, she was fully exonerated by the country’s highest court.

Even the biggest armchair detective had to accept her innocence.

And I truly feel sorry for for going through that. What an utter hell. To be wrongly accused in such a rollercoaster way must be terrifying and traumatic.

I get that in the aftermath she would want to voice her anger and perhaps make enough to cover her hefty legal fees.

But 18 years on “Foxy Knoxy” is still cashing in and using the death of her friend, who is the real victim in this case, as though it is an easy opportunity. It is vile. And wrong.

Joking about prison

Her latest money-maker is a and, as part of its promotional tour this week, she landed in Meredith’s home city shouting on social media: “Hello London!” as though she was here for a girls’ weekend.

To boost ticket sales for a promotional event she cheerfully told her followers: “If you’re in London, or know someone who is, we’d love to see you there.”

You don’t need to be judge or jury to know she is guilty of being callous and cold, because the solicitor for has pleaded with Knox over the years to shut up. But she refuses.

It is impossible that she doesn’t ­realise the pain she is causing them ­following the loss of their 21-year-old daughter. Knox has been told it is ­“disrespectful” and “inappropriate”.

Of course it is.

But this strangely detached woman doesn’t care. joking about life in — as though she’d been wrongfully put behind bars for a victimless , not over the death of a young woman.

And during that event in Greenwich to promote “Mouth Of The Wolf” she showed no compassion for Meredith.

Last night I watched her documentary — directed and written by her ­husband Christopher Robinson — but again it was all about her self-pity.

It even shows her crying after ­. Not for the ­family’s loss. But for her own. She was sobbing because SHE won’t be able to try to build bridges with him.

I doubt he would ever have agreed to meet her. I can’t help pitying Knox for having no self-awareness at all.

This week the Kercher family lawyer spelled it out again, saying “enough is enough”, and that they “don’t comprehend why she keeps on doing things like this and just can’t leave this alone”.

I find it strange that Knox, who knows what true anguish is, cannot stop and empathise with others instead of capitalising on their grief

I agree. It is unfathomable. Unless you accept that she and her husband are both too greedy and unfeeling to care.

Over the years you would imagine that has laid on the couches of several therapists who have told her to move on and concentrate on being the mother she has always said she wanted to be, for her own sanity.

But if she won’t listen to the grieving, devastated Kercher family, those experts were obviously wasting their words.

Now Knox may be about to cause ­distress for the families of those tiny babies killed by too. She is doing a podcast about the former nurse, has ­

I find it strange that Knox, who knows what true anguish is, cannot stop and empathise with others instead of capitalising on their grief.

And by continuing down this hideous path I can’t help but play detective and wonder how ruthless she really can be.

So that’s brow you look so young, Anne

THE Devil Wears Prada is back.

And Anne Hathaway looks truly stunning in May’s Vogue Australia mag ,

In fact, she looks even younger than she did when the original came out back in 2006.

Is it , is it a facelift, is it a bit of carefully placed filler?

Well, no. Not according to the actress.

She puts her youthful appearance down to healthy living, and a “braided brow lift” technique.

This, apparently, is where you basically plait a couple of pieces of your hair at each temple and yank them back as tightly as possible to pull your eyebrows as high as they can go.

Now I wish I had long hair and could instantly wipe 20 years off my face in five minutes.

Gutted.

HELL hath no fury like a woman who has lost her corset.

, who has long had a reputation for speaking her mind, is not happy about the fact her stage clothes went missing after her performance at last week.

After surprising fans by joining on stage, her vintage Gucci jacket, lilac corset, purple lace gloves and leather boots were transported through the grounds of the festival and disappeared.

She said: “These aren’t just clothes, they are part of my history.”

And promptly offered a reward.

Let’s hope they get found or that driver will be Desperately Seeking . . . a new job.

Drop of more dough

TWO magnums of bordeaux that spent nearly a century untouched in Glamis Castle in have fetched a record- breaking £226,000 at auction in .

That’s some pricey plonk. The bottles came from a batch that were shoved in the castle’s cellar in 1878 because the 13th Earl of Strathmore said they were undrinkable.

By 1971 a wine expert said they were “perfection”.

So the new owners have a choice. Open it and see what it tastes like or try to sell for a profit.

At about £11,000 a glass it’s going to be some hangover if they make the wrong choice.

One for nerds

IF you are obsessed with and all things cheffy then ’s new Substack is brilliant.

On his online platform, he’s already explained more about vinegar and spices in ten minutes than I’ve learned in the past ten years.

     But Jamie has played it down, saying it is full of “geeky stuff” for “nerdy people”.

That’ll be me, then.

Thanks, Jamie.

WELL, they weren’t exactly a group of happy campers, were they?

The highlight was about someone being “abusive, aggressive and intimidating” while being, well, abusive, aggressive and intimidating.

Well done Jimmy.
