Amanda Knox has joined the chorus of people mocking a US student who spent a semester studying in Florence and hated "every aspect".
Knox, who was once jailed over the murder of Meredith Kercher while attending university in Italy, said “studying abroad is awesome” in response to the article.
The American, who was later freed after having her conviction overturned, has now been accused of being insensitive towards the British exchange student’s grieving family.
The 35-year-old was responding after Stacia Datskovska, from New York who studied in Italy, told how she hated her time abroad.
Ms Datskovska wrote that although she had high hopes for her time in Florence, she hated her seven roommates, “hostile” locals and her online internship.
Datskovska said she “grew to despise the sights, hated the people, and couldn't wait to get back home to my campus in New York.”
“Girl, what are you talking about? Studying abroad is awesome,” Knox tweeted in response to Datskovska's article.
Many took the American’s post to be sarcastic however many pointed to how she should not joke about her controversial time in Italy calling her tone-deaf.
“How do you think the Kercher family would view this tweet?” one critic responded.
Ian Beavers responded directly to Knox tweeting: “You disgusting individual. And all those laughing at this you're just as bad. Vile.”
Knox was studying abroad in Perugia, Italy, when she was accused of helping then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito kill Leeds University student Meredith, 21, in a supposed sex game gone wrong in 2007.
Meredith, of Coulsdon, south London, had been in Perugia for three months on a student exchange from Leeds university when she was found dead with 47 stab wounds after a sex assault.
In a case that caused a worldwide media storm, Ms Knox, from Seattle, and Mr Sollecito, of Milan, spent four years in prison and were twice convicted and twice acquitted.
The American, known as 'Foxy Knoxy', was initially jailed for 26 years.
The couple were freed in 2011 and exonerated in 2015 after new evidence placed known burglar Rudy Guede at the scene.
He was eventually found guilty of the killing.
Following her acquittal, Knox moved back to Seattle, Washington, where she has since married and become a mother.
Rudy Guede, 34, was sentenced to 30 years for the murder of the 21-year-old student in Italy in 2007, but was freed after magistrates in Viterbo granted him early release.
Guede was convicted when his fingerprints were found at the scene of her murder.
