[Gardenista]

I think she's despicable; she's now blaming a dead man for paying off this kid. She's sick...

Asia Argento Denies Sexual Assault, Says Payoff Was Anthony Bourdain’s Idea[/QUOTE

Ok clearly says in the article JB was broke and had tried to scam his Family, somehow I feel as if he might had been trying to blackmail her, I'm still sticking with the benefit of the doubt , I have followed her since the late 70s
and her and her Sister have always seemed like really compassionate do gooders , so again we shall see.

I'm not sure how I quoted myself up there but you get the point

She denies it? Should the accusers be believed or not? Isn't "me too" movement all about believing the accusers?

I guess we can't ask the dead guy if it was his idea or not.

TMZ claims they saw a photo of the two of them snuggling on a bed together. So if true this kid has more proof than a quite a few of "me too" type allegations.
"A 37-year-old Asia Argento snuggled with then-17-year-old Jimmy Bennett on a bed, shirtless, their foreheads pressed together, her arm over his as they lay with satisfied smiles ... that is the photo that Asia paid $380,000 for -- a photo TMZ has now seen."

Post-SEX bliss? No, that was not sex. It was not consensual. It was rape.

She's just making it worse. Train wreck in progress.

Talk about being hoisted by your own petard. This is so very ironic. "Me too" movement is all about accusers to be believed. Yet when it comes to someone accusing her, apparently we are supposed to not believe the accuser anymore. Good article on the subject.

"Argento’s denial of Bennett’s claims leaves no room for equivocation. It is an absolute refusal to acknowledge any veracity in his claims, a stark contrast to her many statements about believing women (and men) who step forward with stories of assault or harassment."

And in this case, if B. decides to cooperate with police investigation, she could actually end up charged, since it's not just misconduct, it's criminal because he was under 18 at the time this allegedly took place.

Gross. Honestly I'd never even heard of her until poor Anthony's death.

I do not know any Mother who would say words like this about their son.
Of course she is not his real Mother. Just another very strange person from Hollywood. Demented IMO.

Waiting for my long lost son @JimmyBennett in the hotel room: I cry, I sweat, I pace, I tremble. I am alive.

I would not use "Poor Anthony in any sentence".

Yep.

Interesting that Bourdain knew about this.

Not interesting to me.
Group of sickos. To me.
There are tons of them in Hollywood. Imo

Okay...
But you didn't write my post, so you don't have to... Except you did! Lol



I didn't know the guy personally, but I'll err on the side of sympathy for the man dead by his own hand, thanks though.

Edited because I'm tired

TMZ posted the photo. Also some text messages, which she allegedly send to a friend, in which she seems to be blaming the 17 year old for wanting to have sex. She just denied that anything happened but that's not what text messages suggest.

OMG...that is absolutely appalling! I thought her Twitter posts were bad, but damn.

Guess that friend isn't so much of a friend anymore!

One of the alleged messages says she didn't know he was a minor. Would be hard to believe that one since the kid played her son in a movie she directed.
So how would she not know how old he was?
