Chris Cuomo's 'Insensitive Question' That Wasn't Necessary

Amanda Knox and John Ramsey - Megyn Kelly's "Double Feature… · Jun 28, 2026 Society & Culture

Cuomo asked Knox whether she was 'into deviant sex' and whether she engaged in 'experimental activities,' framing it as tough journalism. Knox, now a journalist herself, says he could simply have called out the theory as baseless instead of putting her on the spot — and suspects the real motivation was his own ratings.

The Media's Role and the Chris Cuomo Clip

Kelly argues that while tabloids were the loudest voices, respected news anchors amplified the prosecutor's misinformation with equal enthusiasm. The pair play a clip from a 2013 CNN interview in which Chris Cuomo asks Knox: 'Were you into deviant sex? Do you have any type of experimental activities you're embarrassed to talk about?' Knox, now a journalist herself, reflects on why she went along with it at the time: interviewers framed such questions as doing her a favor by giving her the chance to respond. As a journalist, she now knows Cuomo could simply have called the theory baseless — her sexuality had no relevance to the question of whether she was at the crime scene. Instead, Knox argues, it was about ginning up a salacious moment for ratings. Kelly, who covered Knox's case during her Fox primetime years, calls it an exercise in self-promotion at a victim's expense.
