Episode Details

Amanda Knox’s sold-out Edinburgh Fringe comedy show “Cartwheel” has ignited controversy, with critics accusing her of trivializing violence against women — especially after the tragic death of her former roommate Meredith Kercher. Stephanie Kercher, Meredith’s sister, fears the performance normalizes trauma, sparking an online petition for cancellation. Knox counters that the show is a tribute to Meredith and a reckoning with shared suffering, insisting the Fringe’s platform is vital for confronting painful history. As she continues advocating for the wrongly convicted since her 2015 acquittal, Knox’s art remains a lightning rod for public debate over trauma, justice, and how we remember tragedy.
