Guilty or not guilty she has kept this a secret for 5 years, then when it came out she blamed it on her dead boyfriend. She is deceptive and refuses to accept any responsibility for this pay off, which she obviously agreed to making. She has lost all and any credibility she ever had because of her actions, forever. Shes just a huge embarrassment now.
You're right but why does it have to be this way? Can't all people be treated properly to the benefit of everybody? Why do women have to be promoted at the expense of men? I'm sick of this 'for me to win you have to not only lose but be obliterated' attitude in society.
I met Jimmy once or twice when my son (Zach Mills) was acting also. He seemed like a really sweet kid with a bubbly personality. I maintain that Hollywood is a primarily safe place for child actors. MOST everyone in Hollywood protects and nurtures the young people who work there. However, where there are lambs there will be wolves. That is where parenting comes in. Parents are responsible for knowing where there kids are and keeping them safe. That is true in Hollywood, on the soccer field and yes, even in church. At age 17, I am sure Jimmy's parents felt he was safe but this appears to be a case of coercion. I am very saddened to hear that this happened and I feel for his parents who always did such a good job protecting him and are probably feeling so guilty that the didn't foresee this. Jimmy was a minor and to me, it's particularly creepy because I still see him as the smiling little boy enjoying his career.
A victim and a perpetrator. I wonder what made her so publicly emboldened to fight for this movement when she herself was just like Harvey. couldn't she figure out she'd get caught? I should add allegedly, I guess.
I hope he has had help and can feel safe for the future. Good for him to get something to compensate, and he was lucky that she had a decent boyfriend who tried to do the right thing. Of course she knew his age, she acted with him at age 7! People are not stupid!
He deserves to be compensated! The damage done in these sort of cases are often far- reaching and affect their future ability to properly bond with romantic partners down the line. This young man deserves the money - not that it will erase what happened, but he is not to be shamed for accepting it.
Not too hard to figure out, people. Kid wanted someone to take his V-card, chose her, the years go by without him making a name for himself in Hollywood, needs money, claims sexual assault, big payday. The End.
Why am I not surprised women try to justify this. She invited him to HER hotel. SHE gave him, a 17 year old alcohol. If this were reversed there is no way you would try to justify it.
Yeh something doesn’t really seem right about all this, I mean we have no idea what really happened, this is mass media and it could very well be made up or it could be completely true both sides are frightening. It’s powerful people playing even more powerful games.
@@TheRebelutionary1 i'm in a country where age of consent is 16. Either scenarios would be a non-issue where I live because we know a 17 year old consenting male/female is not a victim of anything but attention seeking.
am i the only one who see the irony here? i mean what encouraged jimmy to open up is the same movement that asia helped to create. dont get me worng i dont think its a joke or anything. but i cant be the only one who saw the irony here.
Age of consent is just one many things American culture gets totally wrong. Most other advanced countries consider 16 or 17 to be the age of consent, but here in the US we treat later teens like babies who constantly need to be coddled and protected...they don't. And then we're surprised when they often grow up to be weak and feckless adults. I don't believe for one second that this guy was coerced or forced in any way. He got laid and then saw an opportunity to cash in. And yes, I would feel exactly the same way if it were a 37 year old man and a 17 year old woman. We have to end this victimization culture where everyone is some kind of victim. Of course there are legit victims of abuse, but this guy isn't one of them.
You're pretty sick if you think it's right for a 37 and 17 year old either way. Advanced countries like those in the Middle East??????? Psychiatrist would enjoy getting inside your head!
@@KStewart-th4sk there's a difference between morally right and legally right. Morally right is your own opinion on whether something is right. Legally right is whether something breaks any laws or not. You may think it's icky the age gap but should it be criminal? Absolutely not. 17 year old knows exactly what they're doing.
Dude, when a 16 year old girl does the same, then we are told to not victim blame and look at the man as a creep. No matter what, the legal adult isresponsible and he/she knows what they are doing. There have also been cases, where girls lied about their age and the guy fell into trouble for not knowing.
"The 22-year-old man". Young man or young adult is more appropriate in this context TODAY. It looks like an attempt to signal parity between victim and perpetrator.
If ur gonna say 17 is too young than we need to do it all across the board.. so juveniles can’t get tried as an adult, no one can buy guns bc they make 17 seem like 10.
You have no idea how deep this really goes, how many pedos are in Hollywood. Watch an Open Secret, start doing your own research. It will blow your mind.
He should speak to the police, not the media. The truth is in the text messages. But was she 7 when she first met the 33 year old? No I didn't think so
What a monumental hypocrite and not only for this but she has also said on camera in an interview on a talk show that she should have slept with Vin Diesel because he is a director. She’s done!!!!!
I am sure she knew he was 17. But in most countries the age of consent is younger than 17. So I can see.with her being Italian. How she wouldn't think twice about it being "wrong". The "kid" wasn't a kid. I don't believe for one second he was in anyway forced to do anything.
Underage is underage, whether the Victim is female or male. She is the Criminal and was Stupid and dumb to commit sexual crime then jump on the #Me Too Train. She belongs in jail with old Harvey Weinstein too.
"later become extremely confused, mortified and disgusted". 17 yr olds aren't mature enough to make life decisions well. at the time though, >= 95% straight 17 yr old males would've jumped at the chance with asia
17 isn’t too bad . It is creepy because she was so old and he played her son . And she knew his age because she knew him since he was a kid . Did he consent that’s what I want to know .
17 yrs old Hollywood product should know better! He act so innocent when he isn't. I think it was mutual consent. I also think there was some kind of promise which was a misunderstanding.
He is and was not traumatised, traumatised people do not take selfies with people in bed and then show their friends. Lets be honest he probably loved it. He is absolutely cashing in and looking for fame.
@@editakim69 Well look at you coming and defending a female predator. Then say the same for the teenage girls who knew what they were doing with R kelly and James Franco. They also extorted them and a countless others. But in that case, we look at the man as a creep and the girl as a victim.
the age of consent is 18 in california, also Argento gave him a drink which counts as drugging since the age of drinking is 21 and over. She also gave him hush money so shes guilty regaredless.
Bennett looked pretty happy in the selfie he took with the two of them in bed together. Not too traumatized. IJS. But, he needed money because no one even knew who he was. Seriously. This is a bunch of crap. Greed lies intrigue. It will make a great Hollywood flick.
Only thirsty white knighting simps desperate to get laid are incapable of resisting when they finally get the attention they were desperate for from a woman.
I see this to will be swept under the rug huh. So did AB pay the money or not are there text messages or not if they really wanted to know those would be the questions i want answered. Lets see how far this goes and will she get the same treatment as the men😒😒😔😒

They were not married.
She's clearly guilty. She paid the money using Anthony's bank account. He knew she was guilty. That's why he left us
THESE people are sick. Any mother who tries to get her kid into the business is putting her child in danger
Sexual assault is sexual assault...justice better be served
Nicole Okundaye exactly
HA! No.
It won't, and you know why.
K.C johnson yep the bigger the Skunt, the bigger the break
Only because they were in CA, there are 40 other states in the US where it would have been legal
Toxic feminism.
Toxic stupid comment.

That’s not feminism. She’s just a disgrace
Feminism = Female privilege
what a disgusting mess the entertainment business is .too many layers to this story to comprehend
She deserves to pay for what she did. No excuses. Enough of women getting away with things.
genaro juarez foreal

i hope Asia is enjoying her 15 minutes, its more attention that shes ever gotten in all the years of her (acting) career....lol
@ carlos perez whats up with you trying so hard to defend asia argento?

Kinda like Hollywood types driving electric cars to their private jets...Hollywood is full of this double standard
#OhNoNotYouToo
lol
Genius
I think with the hypocrisy of Hollywood that could become a viral hashtag. Nice one.
The hush money kinda makes her guilty tbh 💀
A victim and a perpetrator. I wonder what made her so publicly emboldened to fight for this movement when she herself was just like Harvey. couldn't she figure out she'd get caught? I should add allegedly, I guess.
people are complicated psychologically
I hope he has had help and can feel safe for the future. Good for him to get something to compensate, and he was lucky that she had a decent boyfriend who tried to do the right thing. Of course she knew his age, she acted with him at age 7! People are not stupid!
He’s a loser
If the roles were reversed there wouldn't be so much doubt on speculation.
Kevin Spacey was much quicker to be damned.
This is beyond awful...She Killed him. ( He was kinda unstable to begin with) but he tried to be good and this is what he got.
A clear case od Hypocrisy.
I guess that was not too ashamed to blackmail her and take 380K from her.
Jitka Blahakova, thank you! He's a little rip-off artist
Ikr

@@Spiritualchick82 He came out AFTER he was compensated
@@Spiritualchick82 Jimmy didn't seem to be upset about the sexual assault, he's just a blackmail artist (gimme some money or else).
if men and women are guilty of these crimes, they need to pay. Disgraceful.
She paid him well actually, but it wasn't enough for him. He wanted his fame too as otherwise he might not have another chance to get it.
Not too hard to figure out, people. Kid wanted someone to take his V-card, chose her, the years go by without him making a name for himself in Hollywood, needs money, claims sexual assault, big payday. The End.

With that smile more like pleasured
J. Bennett is just cashing in... At 17, Bennett could have easily fended off Ms. Argento had he been so inclined. This is just extortion.

He was under 18. She committed a crime. Time to end double standard. Male or female. A crime is a crime
If ur gonna say 17 is too young than we need to do it all across the board.. so juveniles can’t get tried as an adult, no one can buy guns bc they make 17 seem like 10.
Why though? Why do you get to decide that one age is the threshold for everything?
Insert South Park detective voice “Niceeee” 👌
Some women can be just as big a predator as some men.....
There are way too many people in Hollywood who need to seek some form of therapy. Smh.
Seems like Hollywood is filled with creeps
She had Anthony arrange the payments? Wow that is so disappointing and gross. Shame on her.
I feel bad for him
Look up Brian Singer, the director of X Men. The things he's done to young boys is gruesome. Something needs to be done about the Hollywood elites.
@@me-mx1hb so is Singer still producing or directing films? Because my friends and I will boycott them !
You have no idea how deep this really goes, how many pedos are in Hollywood. Watch an Open Secret, start doing your own research. It will blow your mind.
Aziz ansari , Chad hardwick, and James Franco all deserve an apology
I'm not sure who any of these people are...
Edward Cranium Lmao same here bro
She groomed him since he was 6 she needs jail time
She also cheated on Anthony Bordain with a French journalist.
He should speak to the police, not the media. The truth is in the text messages. But was she 7 when she first met the 33 year old? No I didn't think so
She is contradicting herself
I don't understand he took the money $400,000 now keep your mouth shut!
Now those feminists suddenly drop into silence for good.
What a monumental hypocrite and not only for this but she has also said on camera in an interview on a talk show that she should have slept with Vin Diesel because he is a director. She’s done!!!!!
Jimmy Bennett is a hero because he took a heroic move.
He sold his butt. He's an extorsionist, not a victim.
Carolina Gonzalez S. same as all Weinstein’s accusers ??
I am sure she knew he was 17. But in most countries the age of consent is younger than 17. So I can see.with her being Italian. How she wouldn't think twice about it being "wrong". The "kid" wasn't a kid. I don't believe for one second he was in anyway forced to do anything.
He is 17 year old not 7 year old. How about start taking responsibility as a man?
Underage is underage, whether the Victim is female or male. She is the Criminal and was Stupid and dumb to commit sexual crime then jump on the #Me Too Train. She belongs in jail with old Harvey Weinstein too.
But he prefered sell his butt for money than send his abuser to jail. What kind of "victim" would do that?
The age of adulthood in America is 18.
Children are not obligated to be adults until then.
More like a case of taking someone's virginity
Ok. That statement is crazy scary. 17 is not a man it is a adolescent.
I just found out why Bourdain killed himself---Asia!
. So it's true. If your rich, you don't go to jail. Democracy is awesome.
He was also a sweetheart then
Wonder what Dario thinks of all this..
She knew exactly how old he was from the film they were in the first place
Exquisite double standards
"later become extremely confused, mortified and disgusted". 17 yr olds aren't mature enough to make life decisions well. at the time though, >= 95% straight 17 yr old males would've jumped at the chance with asia
That does not make it right.
RIP Anthony bourdain your in a better place without this cbag
This is just disgusting...poor Anthony..
17 isn’t too bad . It is creepy because she was so old and he played her son . And she knew his age because she knew him since he was a kid . Did he consent that’s what I want to know .
crazedmartinez Supposedly she gave him alcohol beforehand, so I’m going to say that he didn’t or couldn’t.
That's a western feminist for y'all
All Im seeing is he was 17 Tecnally of age in many U.S states while also excepting a Cash Settlement? Looks like were being played..
Jimmy Bennett got assaulted? he seems pretty happy in the picture... sure Argento is a hypocrite but i am sure Jimmy is not a victim here.
@shogun harlem my statement is about equality. i said both are at fault
17 yrs old Hollywood product should know better! He act so innocent when he isn't. I think it was mutual consent. I also think there was some kind of promise which was a misunderstanding.
How did she not know that he was under age when she now him when he was six ?
He is and was not traumatised, traumatised people do not take selfies with people in bed and then show their friends. Lets be honest he probably loved it. He is absolutely cashing in and looking for fame.
@@editakim69 maybe😬

The me too movement is taking no prisoners.
No jail. No justice.
She is from Italy where the age of consent is 14 years old.
this guy isn’t one of them
Creepy and disgusting!
She is NUTS
Well her life is over
Wonder how much he got paid to talk now?
I wonder how sexist you are oh WAIT!
Brave excellent move young man
God bless you!!!!
more of a gold and fame digger as most members of that movement /regardless male or female/
Brave more like a wimp
Oh poor poor Bennett. This is stupid. Oh I'm sure he's so damaged, by the beautiful Asia argento.
He’s 17?! Gtfo “sexual assault” 😂😂😂😂

Jimmy Bennet knew what he was doing. He’s not innocent just because he’s 17
After what she said about Weinstein, now this. This woman is a wacko. She is just like Weinstein, they should be best friends.
Bourdain paid for her mess?!!!!

Could any man really resist this beautiful and charming woman??? Unless they are not "real men"
A real man can resist any woman if they want.

17 years old is not young they give weapons at 17 driver licenses art 16 but they don't alove drinking till 21 years old stupid american law
Jimmy he’s is not a victim here i said
Your latest distraction people
oh the irony
Pack up and get you kids out of Hollywood.
he's lying. this was a shakedown.
He took the hush money, so hush up kiddo
arent the views on sexual relations different in Europe than the US? isnt she Italian?
Jimmy Bennet is a hero
So much for the me too movement, looks like that’s losing steam
They used each other and then lied about it and now it’s public. Just another day in Lalaland.
Pshhh... He loved it
he’s so damaged
That’s just gross
Asia Argento, an ephebophile.
LOL
The way she was all hot for “JT Leroy” aka Sav Knoop (or however it’s spelled), kinda shows her hankering for that type-young, hairless white boys…
It had to be forced! She looks like a Sea Hag! Gross! She damaged him for life! Poor boy!
Maybe her boyfriend found out and she broke his heart.
He is and was not traumatised, traumatised people do not take selfies with people in bed and then show their friends. Lets be honest he probably loved it. He is absolutely cashing in and looking for fame.
