Asia Argento is now warning Jimmy Bennet, the guy who accused her of getting him drunk and taking advantage of him as a minor, to shut his mouth…
Or else.
Asia Argento’s attorney fired off a stern warning to Jimmy Bennett — be very careful with what you say about me … or you’re gonna regret it.
YIIIKES.
See… back before the accusations, when Asia Argento was an “Advocate” for victims of sexual abuse and thought EVERY ACCUSER should be believed… she would have thrown a FIT about someone threatening an accuser, wouldn’t she?
Remember these days?
How the tables have turned.
Asia’s attorney, Mark Heller, fired off a letter to Jimmy’s lawyer Thursday — obtained by TMZ — regarding the reported upcoming interview he’s got scheduled on an Italian television station to address their sexual encounter on May 9, 2013.
According to the letter … Bennett’s words will be carefully monitored for any “slanderous, defamatory or untruthful statements” concerning Argento, and if they believe there are any — they’ll be taking legal action.
Ok… but she keeps saying everything she’s accused of is a lie.
So if he brings the situation up AT ALL…she’d immediately call it “slanderous, defamatory or untruthful,” would she not?
Basically, she’s threatening him not to talk about it.
TMZ reviews the accusations… and I PERSONALLY think they’re pretty damning. (Though of course, I was not there, and she hasn’t been convicted of anything.)
As we’ve reported … both Argento and Bennett have made sexual assault allegations against each other. The two had sex in a Marina del Rey, CA hotel room when he was just 17. She says he was a horny kid who pounced on her and took away her free will. He says this was planned seduction with a minor.
The photo of Argento and Bennett in bed after they had sex, along with the text messages, seem to support Bennett’s version.Argento trashed Bennett, calling him a failed actor and drug abuser.
Uhhhh… what was that about “slanderous and defamatory” language?
What’s good for the goose, Asia…
TMZ broke the story … Bennett has decided to pursue the matter with the L.A. County Sheriff’s Dept., which has not opened a criminal investigation.
Asia has ALSO threatened to sue her former BFF:
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.
