Friends and fans of Anthony Bourdain are still reeling at the news of his death, but one close friend, in particular, actor and director Asia Argento played a big role in his life in the last year. Argento publicly announced in the fall that she had been an alleged victim of Harvey Weinstein.
People Magazine said that Bourdain had tweeted his support and admiration for Argento, praising her strength.
“I am proud and honored to know you. You just did the hardest thing in the world.”
Later Bourdain pondered on Twitter whether the public can start using the word “rape” in reference to the accusations against Weinstein. Argento opened up to Ronan Farrow who wrote the now award-winning New Yorker article that she had been invited to a Miramax party at a hotel in France only to find out that she was the only “guest” of Weinstein in his hotel suite.
