Amanda Knox, who was convicted of the murder of Meredith Kercher but later acquitted, told an Irish TV show that she was sent a CD of Irish rebel songs from a supporter, before she sang a few bars of one.
During the Ray Darcy Show, Knox, dubbed ‘Foxy Knoxy’, said she was given encouragement from Irish people when she was behind bars.
The 30-year-old went on to sing part of the Irish song Come Out Ye Black and Tans.
Her appearance on the show comes after it was revealed Knox gives speeches at universities, charging up to £7,000 a night, which was criticised by the Knox’s family lawyer, who said: ‘Knox should think about her life without continuing to return to this sad affair from which she has been the only one to profit, both in terms of fame and money.’
Speaking on the show, Knox said: ‘I got letters from lots of Irish people who really understood, like, “Of course, authority taking advantage of a vulnerable person, and spinning it in a bad way – of course! We know that.”‘

Knox said that although she didn’t understand them, she enjoyed the songs.
‘It was great, and I had no idea what they were talking about, like slandering Parnell and I didn’t know what any of that meant, I just understood the fighting spirit of it, and I appreciated that,’ reports the Irish Independent.

Last month, she told an audience at Roanoke College, Virginia, that she had been cast as a ‘she-devil’.
‘I believed that didn’t matter because only truth mattered.
‘The nonsense spattered about me didn’t matter. I thought it just showed that it was a weak case. I still believed there was a light at the end of the tunnel because the truth mattered,’ The Roanoke Times quoted her as saying.
