CNN pulls some Anthony Bourdain episodes

I've never seen Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown. I don't know what it's about. Comedian Andy Kindler called for CNN to stop airing the series. "..I know it's sad, but stop running Anthony Bourdain's show PLEASE. I know the ending. Life isn't worth living."

Now they're pulling episodes in which Asia Argento appeared. Variety reports:

Argento, who was dating the show’s host Anthony Bourdain at the time of his death, appeared in two episodes of the series and directed a third. 

A CNN spokesperson confirmed to BuzzFeed News that all three episodes were removed from CNN’s streaming service, CNN Go, due to the allegations against Argento. 

“In light of the recent news reports about Asia Argento, CNN will discontinue airing past episodes of Parts Unknown that included her, until further notice,” the spokesperson told BuzzFeed. 

Argento had reportedly paid off actor Jimmy Bennett, who claims Argento assaulted him when he was 17 and she was 37. As a child actor, Bennett played the son of Argento’s character in the movie “The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things,” which Argento also directed. The New York Times published an expose claiming Argento reached a $380,000 settlement with Bennett last year, months after Argento came forward with rape allegations against Harvey Weinstein.
