Talk about an unexpected and hilarious airport encounter story with Amanda Knox told by Raven-Symoné and her “Tea Time” co-hosts. During the podcast, the discussion regarding celebs and whether or not they could be photographed took an unexpected turn when Miranda Maday admitted to being totally star-struck by the infamous figure. The clip was posted on the show’s account and generated waves of amused and thoughtful comments.

This came up in relation to circumstances in which the hosts of the show could see themselves refusing to take a picture with a fan. Raven-Symoné elaborated that she mostly declines only when she is with family or having lunch. Then it just suddenly turned into the odd celebrity sighting of Miranda Maday, who said, “We did recently see Amanda Knox in the airport.” The other folks reacted with shock and laughter, but it was not a request for a photo. “I was more star-struck by the fact that that was Amanda Knox. I was like, that’s so crazy. That’s Amanda Knox.”
Raven-Symoné jumped right into a reply, captured on camera: “That is very crazy. She was in jail in Italy and charged with murder. That’s crazy. That’s Amanda Goddamn Knox!” Lacking any semblance of logical behavior, the clip ends with the cast breaking into laughter, and the podcast Instagram captioned this moment as “a true national treasure 😭.”
Showered with comments, the post entertained an array of people who reacted to the strangeness of the story. One user wrote, “National Treasure Amanda Knox… 💀🤣,” perfectly capturing the ironic tone of the clip. Another said quite simply, “This whole episode is pure comedy 🤣,” in tribute to how entertaining it was just listening to the hosts.
The whole discussion set off some deeper reflections as well. One commenter really felt obliged to put into perspective what Knox was about: “No but really Amanda Knox is an amazing person who was wrongfully accused of a horrible crime. She is using her experience to speak about criminal justice reform. She’s 100x more impressive than anyone mentioned in this clip,” thereby opening up a side-argument worthy of consideration about perception and redemption.
There also came more personal reactions, with fans recalling their own star-struck moments. “I saw Mary Kay Latourneau at a local waterpark… twice, that was really weird,” one stoked reply about the notoriety of the case. It showed the segment of the podcast was very resonating; the show reminded people of their own crazy experiences with famous or infamous people.

While this clip did a lot to cement the hosts’ reputation within their community, other comments credited Amber Riley for just being nice and saying yes to taking pictures with fans. Another comment stated, “AMBER DOES SAY YES AND SHE’S THE NICEST EVER ABOUT IT. I was nervous as heckkkkkk when I saw her, and not only did she live up to expectations, but she exceeded them ❤️.” Someone went on to defend Miranda Maday, Raven-Symoné’s wife, with, “Idk why a lot of people hate on Ravens Wifey…she’s funny.”

In the end, that viral “Tea Time with Raven and Miranda” moment succeeded because it combined everyday humor with actually shocking testimony. The world’s genuine reaction to a character similar to Amanda Knox – shock, some dark humor, and about a flicker of curiosity – really hit home. It taught them that celebrity run-ins don’t just involve movie stars or singers; sometimes, the most memorable ones come with a serious backstory. This set them up perfectly for comedy and conversation as they left everyone chuckling and thinking. The hosts often share these funny moments, like their debate over spaghetti hair.
