Who Is Belle Knox?

Belle Knox is the Duke student who was an movie actress by night.. The 18-year-old revealed her identity, sort of.

Belle owned what she deemed a “Scarlet Letter” in her long note, saying that she was revealing her true identity because it is hers to reveal and that no one controls her identity but herself.

She also explained that she will not reveal her birth name, because she feels she deserves that last shred of privacy.

My birth name is one name. IT IS MINE. It is the name I am enrolled in at Duke. It is what my family and friends call me. It is the name I use when I perform. These are two different worlds in which I inhabit. I can’t stop you from calling me any name you want to.
