The Italian actress and director Asia Argento was among the first women in the movie business to publicly accuse the producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault. She became a leading figure in the #MeToo movement. Her boyfriend, the culinary television star Anthony Bourdain, eagerly joined the fight.
But in the months that followed her revelations about Mr. Weinstein last October, Ms. Argento quietly arranged to pay $380,000 to her own accuser: Jimmy Bennett, a young actor and rock musician who said she had sexually assaulted him in a California hotel room years earlier, when he was only two months past his 17th birthday. She was 37. The age of consent in California is 18.

Maybe when she said #MeToo she actually meant paying someone off?

Old tarto Scarlet Diva is a semi-autobiographical film about the Italian actress and director Asia Argento's life as an actress. A self-destructive streak in Anna Battista (Argento) pulls her into drugs, sex and other excesses. To combat this descent, she attempts to fulfill her creative side by becoming a film director. Battista's attempts to realize her talent is thwarted however by her desires and the uncaring responses of those around her. As part of her plans to become a director and bring her story to the screen, Battista travels to Los Angeles but only meets a shady film producer (Joe Coleman). She falls in love with an uncaring Australian rock and roll star (Jean Shepard), then finds out she is pregnant by him. But her life is still in disarray as she uses drugs to help herself feel better.

Italian actress Asia Argento, a leader of the #MeToo movement, has strongly denied an allegation of sexual assault.
Legal documents seen by the New York Times were reported to show she paid former co-star Jimmy Bennett $380,000 (£298,000) after he accused her of sexually assaulting him when he was 17. In a statement, she says: "I have never had any sexual relationship with Bennett". ..."We decided to deal compassionately with Bennett's demand for help and give it to him." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-45261188 Seems to happen alot in the USA. People 'make stuff up' and get 6 or 7 figure payouts for no apparent reason. |

The actress admitted to having sex with Bennett however in text messages she allegedly sent to a friend on Monday that were published by TMZ
Argento said in her statement that it was her late boyfriend Anthony Bourdain who convinced her to settle with Bennett, which these new texts confirm She also claims to have been unaware that the boy was a minor in the alleged texts, despite correctly stating the boy's age in a tweet months before http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6086009/Asia-Argento-admits-DID-sex-17-year-old-Jimmy-Bennett-texts.html |
