“My daughter is three now and she’s just getting to the point where she’s asking questions, because you know my past is not a hidden thing, and occasionally it comes up,” Knox, 37, said while discussing true crime television with ReasonTV journalist Billy Brinton on Thursday.

“She likes it when I tell her a story so she’ll be like, ‘Tell me a story about Bluey, tell me a story about the Little Mermaid’ — sometimes she asks me to ‘Tell the story of Mama going to Italy,” she continued of her four years behind bars.

“I just have to say, ‘Well, Mama went to Italy and something really, really bad happened — someone hurt her friend and then then Mama was hurt too,’” she said.

“And my daughter says ‘why?’ and I’m like ‘I don’t know.’”

Knox, now a mother of two, said she feels “utterly exploited” by true crime — even though she’s written a memoir, helped make a Netflix documentary and is now co-producing an eight-part series for Hulu.
