Asia Argento threatening to sue Rose McGowan


Asia Argento is threatening to sue Rose McGowan for libel.

Dear @RoseMcGowan. It is with genuine regret that I am giving you 24 hours to retract and apologise for the horrendous lies made against me in your statement of August 27th. If you fail to address this libel I will have no option other than to take immediate legal action.

This for repeating the charge that Argento had sex with teen actor Jimmy Bennett. Argento's still denying it, apparently. 
From McGowan's statement:
“Asia you were my friend,” McGowan said. “I loved you. You’ve spent and risked a lot to stand with the MeToo movement. I really hope you find your way through this process to rehabilitation and betterment. Anyone can be be better- I hope you can be, too. Do the right thing. Be honest. Be fair. Let justice stay its course. Be the person you wish Harvey could have been.”
I can't really see McGowan retracting her statement and it doesn't seem like suing her would be a good move for Argento, but what do I know.

Jimmy Bennett's ex-girlfriend

On top of this, People is reporting that, a few years ago, Jimmy Bennett's ex-girlfriend accused him of stalking among other things. He kept calling and texting her and knocking on her door. She was 18 and he was 19. She also accused him of sex with a minor when she was 17 and he was 18, a couple of high school seniors. The whole thing was dropped because neither one of them showed up for a scheduled hearing in court.

The accusations by Jimmy Bennett's ex-girlfriend have nothing to do with Argento sexually assaulting him. The accusations by Jimmy Bennett have nothing to do with Harvey Weinstein raping Asia Argento. But you see why victims keep quiet about these things?
