CNN cancels episodes of 'Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown' starring Asia Argento after sexual assault allegations emerge
Asia Argento was one among the first women in Hollywood to step forward and publicly accuse producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault. She was even addressed as one of the champions of the #MeToo movement and her former boyfriend, the late chef Anthony Bourdain had also taken pride in supporting her. However, Argento had not been completely clean with the public, for, in the months that followed the #TimesUp and the #MeToo movement gaining ground, she decided to cover her own tracks.
New York Times revealed how the actress had paid $380,000 hush money to a young actor, Jimmy Bennett, who had accused her of assaulting him in a California hotel room when he was all of 17. Argento at the time was 37. Now after these allegations surfaced, CNN which was airing a show called 'Parts Unknown' based on the celebrity chef Bourdain's culinary travels has decided that any episode which features Argento, his girlfriend at the time, will not be streamed.
