So, any update from Rose McGowan?

What a horrible person. I had my doubts at some parts in her and her position in Bourdain's suicide.
But yea, the reaction from the #metoo movement seems a little bit soft/weak. Compared to the outcries before. To have a meaningful impact we need to point out the issue and work on it. We can't be stuck with a double standard. This is sad.
Also a nice read: https://penthouse.com/pages/asia-argento/Toxic-Femininity.php (not sure how credible the author is).

Woah hold on I know about the accusations on her and the guy but wtf has it to do with Bourdain? Can someone fill me in
She likely used his money to help pay the huge amount of hush money required to keep this story under wraps.
I believe.
She said he paid the $380,000 to the 22 year old accuser. .
She said Anthony was trying to help a "friend" in finical trouble.
On what planet does a celebrity who is only worth about $1.7mm give 25% of their net worth (which is never all in cash) to a 22 year old to "help him out"
Her story is not believable.
Jimmy Bennet speaks out after her denial.

He was put in a really weird position when it came to speaking publicly about this. More power to him.
No, it hasn't. Women can be abusers. That's not new information. Asia Argento is a predator, that's new information and despicable, but #metoo ain't dead. The way male victims of abuse are treated, how they are subjected to double standards and victim blaming that is off the charts, that's something that needs to be a part of this movement. Women suffer abuse and it's a systemic problem, you can't deny that. That doesn't invalidate male victims and their pain and their experiences.
She snapped. Another reminder of why minority voices need to stop being pushed back when they're the ones actually doing the work.
Like the women's march.
I love this post.
Felt like it was written specifically for me. Reeks of truth.
Already banned but what a weird thing to say.
Why would that ever be the case... It was never about just one person.

Wait for the incoming crazy twist of her doing more time than Harvey.
Jimmy is only 22, statute of limitations should not apply (but I am not 100%)

The TMZ timeline makes a damning case with the photos of her with a 28 year old guy coming out, her rushing to get them taken down, and Bourdain killing himself a day or two later. No one is responsible for his suicide other than him, but you can find a lot of quotes out there from his friends about how obsessed he was with her and how passionate he became about #metoo because of that. This might be tied to it the same way the other photos were, or maybe it was something else completely. We'll never really know for sure.
The risk to the movement is from the reaction of the top brass on the matter. There was the tweet pleading for understanding and to be gentle on Argento, a tweet that has since be removed and total blackout since. If a movement is to be credible it needs to apply consisten rules to everyone, including one of their own. Thus far it has failed.
Her text messages are gross; she, or Anthony, hired a private investigator and she calls him a failed actor. Fuck her. What a disgusting, opportunistic asshole.
"Entitled westerners" lol.
"Entitled westerners" lol.
It's going to generate complications for sure.
And will embolden a lot of idiots to type out their worthless rebutalls to the whole movement.
But to claim that metoo just died is simply absurd.
I'm kinda out of my depth on this since I'm not American but I recall seeing several threads on here about some supposedly high level Black Lives Matter activists saying or doing some dumb shit and people being worried about the survival of the whole movement. But in both cases, to my knowledge, there is no actual hierarchy. There are no higher ups or top brass. Just relatively well known people like Argento and Rose McGowan making the headlines. For now. But there are plenty of people waiting in the wings and willing to speak out in their stead if need be, I don't think this will change anything.
That's all fine and dandy but we're reading texts directly sent by her because that's how little Argento's 'friends' think of her at this point.
So I didn't see all the text messages: https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/asia-argentos-explicit-messages-sex-13126122
Wow
Wow
I'm not sure if it's stupidity or just plain arrogance that would get you to text that shit AFTER the story comes to light.
How much did he actually know about Bennett's allegations? She lied in her statement, it wouldn't be surprising if she lied to him about it. But regardless, even if what she said was true, considering he's dead and can't speak for himself, the decent thing would've been to not mention him at all.
But then again, it's not like you can expect decency out of someone who apparently groomed and raped a minor.
Unless his lawyer confirms or denies what Argento is claiming to have happened, we'll probably never know the truth of his role in this.

Statute of limitations is often much more applicable in civil cases, not criminal. Additionally, many places have legislation in place that bars any SoL for sexual crimes。
Why would she come out with such a public denial when she knew that photo existed? Dumb as hell. The whole thing is fucking creepy.
I honestly wonder if she just forgot about it. In the texts she talks about a photo where they're standing up, which is pretty obviously not that photo, and seems to think it's less incriminating.
This is incorrect.
This is correct. Though it's not so cut and dry in California.
No it isn't. There are a number of crimes for which there are no statutes of limitations. They tend to be the more heinous ones.
I'm comparison, in civil matters from what I understand in California, the SoL is anywhere from 1-2-10 years.
I was only trying to draw a comparison between civil matters and the top end criminal matters. This is saying nothing about laws which extend limitation periods because someone goes into hiding for example.
I know a lot more about Canadian law than I do American and I know every state has its own wacky laws, but the general thrust of my comment is still in the right direction.
You phrased your comment as a general comparison between civil and criminal matters, not as a comparison between civil matters and "top end" criminal matters. There are many crimes for which there is no statute of limitations, you are correct. But the vast, vast majority of criminal offenses all are subject to statutes of limitations, for the protection of the accused. It's only where public policy overrides an accused's due process rights, as is the case in homicide and some sex-based crimes, where the statute of limitations are tossed in the interest of justice for the victims. Thus, with the limited exception of "top end" criminal matters, statute of limitations impact criminal cases as often as they do civil matters.
Yikes!
The best thing about the #meetoo movement is that it should apply to anyone. This is another example of that. I'm glad Bennett came forward.

The texts are extremely damning. Her response seems ripped out of the Weinstein playbook.
1) Hire a PI to look into the victim
2) Pay off the victim and silence them. Only reason she didn't get an nDA is because it would've been illegal in this case in California.
3) When the abuse comes out, deny it, and attack the character of your victim.
4) Confirm in private that the abuse occurred.
What a horrible person. She's supposed to be a judge on the Italian version of X factor starting next month. Hopefully they do the right thing and fire her.

They have, thank goodness:

Was that the job she was referring to in the texts? time to move.
