伦敦——近二十年前，阿曼达·诺克斯因在意大利杀害英国室友被判有罪，后又被无罪释放，如今她再度陷入一场新的争议。
如今诺克斯已是一名单口喜剧演员，但并非所有人都对此表示支持。她已故的前室友梅雷迪思·凯彻的家人称她的演出麻木不仁且带有剥削性质。
“我的朋友和家人其实都为我非常紧张，尽管我在公众舆论法庭上有着无可指摘的记录，”诺克斯在她的表演中说道。
她的单口喜剧专场《侧手翻》目前正在苏格兰爱丁堡艺穗节上演。
近二十年前，意大利一家法庭判处诺克斯及其时任男友杀害了21岁的室友凯彻。
诺克斯在意大利监狱服刑四年后，因DNA取证存在缺陷被无罪释放。
此后，她撰写了两本关于自己入狱经历的书籍，并担任了Hulu传记片《阿曼达·诺克斯的扭曲故事》的执行制片人。
“时至今日，还有人说，‘她是无辜的，但她当时确实表现得像有罪一样’，”诺克斯在表演中说道。
凯彻的姐姐斯蒂芬妮·凯彻发起了一项签名请愿活动，要求停办诺克斯的喜剧演出。
“我想对诺克斯说，请考虑一下我们这些家人，也想想她的朋友，换位思考一下，如果受害者是你的姐妹，而你也有一个姐妹，你会作何感想？”斯蒂芬妮·凯彻在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的合作媒体BBC新闻采访时说道。
诺克斯在社交媒体上发布的一份声明中表示，该请愿活动“存在诸多错误假设，完全歪曲了这场演出的本质”。
“我不是第一个用喜剧来谈论创伤和艰难话题的人，”诺克斯告诉BBC新闻，“我再次希望人们能真诚地看待我的作品，认识到我在用喜剧镜头讲述这个非常私人的故事时，投入了多么深厚的真情和细腻的心思。”
诺克斯甚至表示，她认为梅雷迪思·凯彻会觉得她的演出很有趣。
“梅雷迪思绝对不会觉得这些话题有任何喜剧效果，”斯蒂芬妮·凯彻告诉BBC新闻。
凯彻一家如今正敦促英国首相安迪·伯纳姆介入此事，称诺克斯的喜剧演出开创了一个先例，会让其他人也借机利用自己的过往经历，从而造成更多的伤害。

Amanda Knox’s comedy show in U.K. faces criticism from murdered British roommate’s family

London — Amanda Knox, who made headlines almost two decades ago when she was convicted, but later acquitted, of the murder of her British roommate in Italy, is at the center of a new controversy.
Knox is now a stand-up comedian, and not everyone is happy about it. The family of her murdered former housemate, Meredith Kercher, calls her show insensitive and exploitative.
“My friends and family are actually really nervous for me despite my spotless record in the court of public opinion,” Knox says in her act.
Her comedy routine, “Cartwheel,” is now playing at Scotland’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Nearly two decades ago, a court in Italy convicted her and her now-former boyfriend of killing her roommate, 21-year-old Kercher.
Knox served four years in an Italian prison but was later acquitted on flawed DNA forensics.
Since then, she’s written two books about her imprisonment and served as an executive producer on a Hulu biography, “The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.”
“To this day, some people say, ‘She’s innocent, but she sure acted guilty,’” Knox says in her act.

Kercher’s sister, Stephanie, has backed a signature-collection campaign to shut down Knox’s comedy show.
“What I would say (to Knox) is to think about the family here, think about her friends and, to turn the tables, if it was your sister that this had happened to, because I know you have a sister as well, how would you feel?” Stephanie Kercher told CBS News’ partner network, BBC News.
Knox said in a statement posted to social media that the campaign has “many false assumptions and completely mischaracterizes the show.”
“I’m not the first person to invent using comedy to talk about traumatic and difficult material,” Knox told BBC News. “I think that, again, I would hope that people will honestly engage with my work and recognize, like, the deep heart and sensitivity that I bring to it as I tell a very personal story through a comedic lens.”
Knox even said she thinks Meredith Kercher would find her act funny.
“Meredith absolutely wouldn’t find these topics of, you know, any comedy value,” Stephanie Kercher told BBC News.
Kercher’s family is now urging British Prime Minister Andy Burnham to intervene, saying Knox’s comedy show sets a precedent for anyone else to use their past as an opportunity that could cause more pain.
