What Now?

When she was finally found innocent for the final time, Amanda decided to pursue a career as a writer and public speaker, helping others who had been subject to miscarries of justice. In 2018 Knox did a series of reports for Vice‘s sister publication, Broadly, called The Scarlet Letter Reports. She meets with women who have been hounded by the press for varying reasons and subjected to intense and often unfair scrutiny.

“Though our backgrounds and stories are different, we were all attacked as women,” Knox said of the series. “And, in trying to live our lives or come forward with the truth, we faced vicious campaigns against our characters—our identities distorted and crammed into prepackaged tropes, ready-made to be discounted, condemned, and rejected: the slut, the psycho, the trainwreck, the liar, the man-eater.” Amanda Knox still maintains her innocence.
