Amanda Knox slammed The Rip star Matt Damon over his controversial remarks about cancel culture.
According to Fox News, the feud between the American activist and actor reignited once again after Damon, along with his co-star Ben Affleck, shared his views on the harsh side of cancel culture.
During an interview on The Joe Rogan Experience before the release of their crime thriller movie, Damon and Affleck noted that the cancel culture could be taken to extremes.
As the discussion moved forward, the 55-year-old suggested that for some public figures constant and intense scrutiny and social exile could feel harsher than a prison sentence.
The 55-year-old said, “I bet some of those people would have preferred to go to jail for 18 months or whatever and then come out and say, ‘No, but I paid my debt. Like, we're done. Like, can we be done? Like, the thing about getting kind of excoriated publicly like that is that it just never ends. And it’s the first thing that… you know, it just will follow you to the grave."
The podcast episode was released on January 16, the same date on which the film was released.
Knox, who previously fired back at The Martian star for starring in a film based on her real-life wrongful conviction and imprisonment, once again called out the Oscar-winning actor on social media.
Resharing the Verity article about Damon’s remarks about cancel culture on X, the author, the 38-year-old, wrote, “Another thing Matt Damon could have run by me before putting out into the world.”
Knox and her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito spent four years in prison after being wrongfully convicted twice for the 2007 murder of their roommate Meredith Kercher. She was later acquitted and released in October 2011.
