Caught by paparazzi in New York City, Whitney shared her thoughts on whether it was too soon to joke about the case. She quipped that in America, “it’s never too soon to joke about anything, especially murderers,” pointing out the country’s history of turning killers into cultural phenomena.
Her comments come as former President Donald Trump publicly condemned the widespread support for Mangione, calling it “a terrible thing.” However, Whitney suggested this trend aligns with recent events that show the public’s shifting perspective on crime and forgiveness.
Reflecting on 2024, Whitney noted how people rallied behind figures like Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who was released from prison after serving time for her role in her mother’s death, and the Menendez brothers, whose murder convictions have sparked renewed sympathy. She argues that this year has cemented America’s peculiar relationship with high-profile crime cases.
While Mangione maintains his innocence, public opinion seems to lean in his favor, with many sympathizing with him rather than siding with a corporate executive. Whitney joked, “That’s just how America rolls,” implying that such cases often elevate alleged perpetrators into the spotlight.
As for Luigi’s future, Whitney speculated whether his notoriety could lead to a career in Hollywood. Given the public’s appetite for true crime stories and controversial figures, she didn’t rule out the possibility.
Whether you find it disturbing or fascinating, Whitney’s take underscores a broader cultural conversation about crime, celebrity, and redemption in modern America.
