Amanda Knox and Monica Lewinsky team up for new series, say their stories are similar

Amanda Knox is opening up about teaming up with Monica Lewinsky to reclaim her story in the upcoming limited series based on her life, "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox."

The two executive producers of the series sat down with "Good Morning America" Monday and said working on the new show together felt like a natural fit.

"I had a first-look television deal at the time, and I thought, aha! Another young woman who had suffered in the media, had been feasted on on the world stage, and luckily, like a savvy executive, she got all the yeses, and we were off to the races," Lewinsky said.

Lewinsky, now 52, was catapulted to international infamy in the mid-1990s, after news of her affair with then-President Bill Clinton, while she was a young White House intern, made global headlines.

I had a customer once with a cat named Monica Lewinsky. But honestly, I've never heard an account of these women's stories from anyone but media.

Their need to remain “relevant” is pathetic.

Their 15 minutes of fame/shame has expired.
