    Good to hear. I think there needs to be a discernment made between people who are abusive or worse in a workplace, like Weinstein or Lauer, and someone in a bad relationship, which short of criminal spousal abuse, should not be part of a hiring and firing to this extent.
    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    Yeah. Just seems kind of...sad that there's not much celebration when things seem to turn out "good" for a change, but people were so quick to pass judgment and whisper shadily "I knew there was something off about him!" when the accusations first come out.

    Asia Argento, one of #MeToo's most prominent figures, reportedly paid a former child actor to keep quiet about her sexually assaulting him when he was 17.

    We shouldn't be surprised. Sadly, this is how it works sometimes. Victims often victimize others. It's a vicious cycle.

    Oh, geeze. For anyone curious, the actor in question played young James Kirk in the 2009 Star Trek movie.

    Quoted for emphasis. Not that that excuses her, but it still starts somewhere.

    Like you said, it doesn't excuse anything because maybe Harvey Weinstein was also abused when he was younger.

    Here's more info about the Argento/Bennett case from wiki and latimes.com.

    LATIMES.COM:
    On the day of the alleged assault [May 9, 2013], Argento and Bennett met for a reunion at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey. The pair have referred to each other as mother and son on social media. Argento posted a photo on that day showing her hugging Bennett, referring to him as “My son my love,” and included the month and year.

    According to the New York Times, Bennett arrived at the hotel with a family member. Argento asked the family member to leave. When they were alone, she allegedly kissed the 17-year-old, removed his pants and performed oral sex, and then had sex with him, the newspaper reported.

    Argento became a prominent voice in the #MeToo movement after telling the New Yorker that Weinstein raped her in 1997 when she was 21.



    from wiki:

    According to documents obtained by The New York Times, a $380,000 settlement was made between Bennett and Asia Argento after Bennett claimed that Argento sexually assaulted him in 2013. Bennett said that after the encounter he began to feel "extremely confused, mortified, and disgusted". Bennett's lawyer wrote that in the years after the incident, Bennett was so traumatized that his job performance, income, and mental health declined. They first met when Bennett played Argento's son in the 2004 film The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things when Bennett was 7-years old.


    By the way, if Argento did become a victimizer because of the Weinstein incident, then that's pretty troubling as it happened 20 years ago. Could this mean that there are other #metoos in Argento's past? Otherwise, you have to believe she just randomly picked on Bennett in 2013 16 years after the Weinstein incident with nothing happening before or since.

    Also, it's extra creepy that she had sex with Bennett at 17 given that she knew him since he was 7 when they met on their movie -- The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things (the title now laden with subtext). The writeup for the movie itself shows it to be pretty much a freakshow involving a drug-addeled mother (Argento) and her son (Bennett) that gets raped by her boyfriend. Years later, the son (now played by the Sprouse twins) is forced by the mother to crossdress to pretend he's her sister rather than her son so the mother can score with men. More rape of the son follows. All this junk is based on a series of books that have their own controversial backstory.

    Someone should interview Cole Sprouse, now on Riverdale as Jughead, as to his dealings with Ms. Argento.

    What made it even more creepy is she posed with Bennett in photos that very day and a close one on a bed its claimed for social media posts. So its kinda...creepy for that . Argento herself just days earlier seems to still talk to him on social media as well
