Asia Argento: #MeToo figurehead denies sexual assault of minor
What does Argento say in her denial?
She admits a payment but denies sex.
The actress describes being "deeply shocked and hurt by having read news that is absolutely false".
She states that the relationship was one of "friendship only" and that this ended after her involvement in the Weinstein revelations, when Bennett "unexpectedly made an exorbitant request of money from me".
At the time Argento was romantically involved with celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, who killed himself in June.
Bourdain, her statement says, wanted the matter to "be handled privately and this was also what Bennett wanted".
"Anthony was afraid of the possible negative publicity that such person, whom he considered dangerous, could have brought upon us.
"We decided to deal compassionately with Bennett's demand for help and give it to him."
TFW wires gets crossed and wish fulfillment maturates into blackmailing embezzlement.
