It’s a hard Knox wife: Amanda denies ‘begging’ for her wedding

-

AMANDA KNOX has been forced to shoot down claims she is crowdfundi­ng her intergalac­tic-themed wedding.

The American, who was convicted then cleared of killing British student Meredith Kercher, sparked anger after asking for donations of up to £8,000 from strangers.

She discussed her upcoming nuptials on social media and included a link to her elaborate “wedding story” site, which featured a link connecting viewers to the registry.

She and her fiancé Christophe­r Robinson said they had “scant time to plan” for the wedding next year.

Her begging bowl came out despite Knox earning a reported £2.6 million from her book Waiting To Be Heard.

Defending the move, she said: “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.”

Supporters of the couple are asked to choose where their donation will go.

Those who want to give as little as £20 can earmark it for decoration­s, £60 will help pay for a photograph­er, or a gift of £80 could go to a ‘time-travel machine’ that will be available for guests.

There are options for £1,600, £4,000, or a whopping £8,000 for which they “will receive a signed, limited edition copy of The Cardio Tesseract, our joint book of love poems.”

Knox’s denial she is crowdfundi­ng is laughable, given it is precisely what asking ‘well-wishers” to donate is.

Why do people these days think others should fund their lifestyle?

Then again when an opportunit­y Knox, there is no way publicity-hungry Amanda would let it pass her by..
