Help Pay for Amanda Knox's Wedding...

[ten6mom]

Who is Amanda Knox? (that's rhetorical...I really don't care)

God love social media. Apparently not a bit of truth to the rumors. What next, Jimmy Hoffa is going to give her away?

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Poor girl just wants her 15 minutes back! What a joke.

And she was accused of murder!?!! I don’t want that type of fame. Geez. Poor girl needs help

I was wondering about this... but she hadn't rebutted the story until now.

Makes you wonder if the backlash made her disclaim it or if someone else was trying to capitalize on her wedding.

Maybe she can go to the celebrities, for wedding $$, who screamed her innocence.

This thread has been a ton of fun, but I thought as much and said do upthread. I think “kids today” need to be schooled in jumping the shark.

According to the story, the quotes Were accurate.

"Let's face it, we don't need any more stuff. What we do need is help putting on the best party ever for our family and friends!"

She can say it was never meant to be a crowdfunding source all she wants. And maybe she didn't. But if you really don't want anything, why put a link up and why say we don't want any stuff? You simply say we don't want any stuff? No need to bring anything. No need to bring money. I mean really. She's the one that put that stuff on there. But it's everyone else's fault including the media for misinterpreting it?
The poor girl. Always misunderstood. I mean she never intended putting up something that smacks of grubbing for money to grub for money. And everyone should have known that through some form of space alien telepathy.

So she changed her mind? There were plenty of other articles/stories yesterday where she was defending it on social media.

"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" to see and participate in, said Knox, 32. "I have a lot of haters in this world but I have a lot of family friends and supporters as well. I wanted to share with them this fun, creative idea."
The couple used a password-protected website for invited guests to RSVP, but they said that they didn’t want to put the registry behind a similar protection because, as Knox said, there are "thousands of people who are supportive of me who follow me" and she said that "very often [they] want to feel connected to me and I try my best to share that."

Okay, so she is not crowdfunding the wedding, but she wanted "well-wishers" to be "supportive" and be able to feel "connected" by using her registry to donate money to her wedding.

That is what I garnered from the article, at least.

I think it was more that she saw all the backlash and negativity she was getting for it and changed her story, not her mind.

I think maybe we dissers should donate some food for her wedding.

So what she really means is she didn't mean for the media to pick it up as a news story...If you put a "registry" out there for "well wishers" to donate to, I am pretty sure that is the definition of "crowdfunding."

She should have done what any "celebrity" does, try to sell the wedding pics to People Magazine or other tabloid willing to pay for the first, exclusive photos. She probably would have actually gotten money for them and more than $10,000. They could have printed the pics with the headlines, "Amanda Knox finally finds happiness."

Now instead, this "being supportive & connected," stunt has lowered those pics & her reputation to, I'd say, $350 for the pics.

We've seen some weak defenses lately. I'm not sure whether this one or I wasn't being racist to that pregnant lady. I was being sexist and fat shaming her takes the weekly cake.

OK, I’m confused. Can I or can I not buy in at the Galactic level?!?

Apparently they're already secretly married. So they're really just crowd sourcing a big party.

Who's Amanda Knox?

 

[SteveH]

Ah yes I see more "News" Just the fact that any news site felt this was news in the first place is an issue.
