Asia Argento, the Italian actress who was the first to publicly accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault, paid off a young man who accused her of her OWN sexual misconduct.
Yes, I’m serious… and the allegations are pretty gross.
Argento got Jimmy Bennet, a young actor who saw her as a MOTHER figure in his life drunk… then had sex with him. Jimmy had known Argento since he was just a little boy, as they starred in a movie together…

She played his mom.
He says the shame, disgust, and confusion he felt changed the rest of his life… and it all became too much to bear as she’s paraded around as a supposed “leader” of the #MeToo movement.
.For Mr. Bennett, seeing Ms. Argento present herself as a victim of sexual assault was too much to bear, his lawyer wrote, and called up memories of their hotel reunion. “His feelings about that day were brought to the forefront recently when Ms. Argento took the spotlight as one of the many victims of Harvey Weinstein,” Mr. Sattro wrote in the notice of intent to sue.
HOLY CRAP folks…
This is just too much.
According to the New York Times report:
In interviews and subsequent social media posts between the two over the years, they referred to each other as mother and son.
On May 9, 2013, the day they met for a reunion in her room at a Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey, Calif., she posted on Instagram: “Waiting for my long lost son my love @jimmymbennett in trepidation #marinadelrey smoking cigarettes like there was no next week.”
Mr. Bennett responded, “I’m almost there!:)”
Mr. Bennett, who has an eye condition that prevents him from driving, arrived at Ms. Argento’s hotel room that morning with a family member, according to his notice of intent.
The document lays out Mr. Bennett’s account: Ms. Argento asked the family member to leave so she could be alone with the actor. She gave him alcohol to drink and showed him a series of notes she had written to him on hotel stationery. Then she kissed him, pushed him back on the bed, removed his pants and performed oral sex. She climbed on top of him and the two had intercourse, the document says. She then asked him to take a number of photos.
Later that day she posted a close-up of their faces on Instagram with the caption, “Happiest day of my life reunion with @jimmymbennett xox,” and added that “jimmy is going to be in my next movie and that is a fact, dig that jack.” That post and others were included with the notice of intent, along with three photos apparently taken by Mr. Bennett that depict him and Ms. Argento in bed, their unclothed torsos exposed. (Only one of the photos taken in bed shows both their faces.)
The two had lunch, and Mr. Bennett headed home to Orange County, where he lived with his parents. As he was driven home, according to his claim, he began to feel “extremely confused, mortified, and disgusted.”
So basically she plied a 17-year-old who saw her as a role model and “mother figure” with alcohol… then had sex with him.
He was 17… a minor.
Yeah… this is SCREWED UP.
…and apparently left him petty screwed up, too:
The fallout from “a sexual battery” was so traumatic that it hindered Mr. Bennett’s work and income and threatened his mental health, according to a notice of intent to sue that his lawyer sent in November to Richard Hofstetter, Mr. Bourdain’s longtime lawyer, who was also representing Ms. Argento at the time.
As he looked for options, Argento paid him a bunch of hush money:
In the agreement between Ms. Argento and Mr. Bennett, she agreed to pay him $380,000 over the course of a year and a half, starting with an initial payment of $200,000 that was made in April, according to a letter to Ms. Argento in which her lawyer, Ms. Goldberg, outlined the terms of the deal.
The agreement does not prevent either party from discussing it. In the letter, Ms. Goldberg explained that California law does not allow nondisclosure agreements in civil contracts involving the types of allegations made by Mr. Bennett
See… this is all EFFED up on it’s own…
But then you realize that this woman has been on a victim parade for the better part of a year.
Asia Argento HERSELF said many women “Freeze” when assaulted by men:
Well… was she thinking about how many teen boys might freeze when assaulted by women? Did that ever even OCCUR to her?
I mean… this woman gave a speech at Cannes about how there are “perpetrators still out there.”
“And even tonight, sitting among you, there are those who still have to be held accountable…”
HOW. DARE. SHE?
The fact that she said that KNOWING she got a 17-year-old who looked to her as a role model drunk and HAD SEX WITH HIM…
Well, it goes to show that Hollywood really is as depraved as she says it is.
