MeToo advocate gets MeTooed

Variety news:
According to documents obtained by the New York Times, leading #MeToo advocate Asia Argento settled an accusation of sexual assault from former child actor and musician Jimmy Bennett for the sum of $380,000 to be paid over the course of a year and a half.

The claim and resulting discussions of payment are included in documents between the lawyers for Argento and Bennett. The claim states Bennett was a little over 17 years old at the time of the alleged assault, which took place in a California hotel room in 2013 when Argento was 37. The legal age of consent in California is 18.

As part of the agreement, Bennett, who is now 22, gave a selfie of he and Argento in bed and its copyright to Argento, now 42. Three people familiar with the case told the New York Times that the documents were authentic. ...

She’s recently faced online persecution after her boyfriend, Anthony Bourdain, took his own life. Online trolls began harassing her, saying that she caused his death. Numerous sexual assault and harassment survivors penned on op-ed in the Los Angeles Times supporting her. ...

Bennett appeared in films including “Daddy Day Care” and Argento’s “The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things,” in which he played her son.
Is it incest if she seduces a kid playing her son in a movie? Did the movie convince her that her heart is deceitful?

Someday this MeToo hysteria will pass. With enuf stories like this, maybe ppl will realize that the MeToo women should never have been taken so seriously.
