Amanda Knox: Yes, I Asked Supporters to Donate to My Wedding But It’s Not a Crowdfunder
Amanda Knox now says that her wedding registry site, which she tweeted to her 40,600 followers and which openly invites donations for her space-themed wedding, is not an attempt at crowd funding the nuptials set for Leap Day, February 29, 2020. The site, which offers 18 options to donate between $25 and $10,000 earmarked for everything from a time machine to the open bar, was created by Knox and her fiancé poet Christopher Robinson.
Knox’s denials were published by ABC News and The Stranger website, which have both consistently supported her claims of innocence over her original conviction and final acquittal in the murder of her British roommate Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy, in 2007.
Knox told ABC News that she did not mean for anyone to confuse inviting donations for crowd funding. “I did not put it out there expecting to get a dime from anyone,” Knox told ABC, despite the handy buttons provided to do just that. “Our wedding registry was never meant to be a crowdfunding source. It was meant for our family and friends and any well-wishers that I have.”
