This is going from bad to worse.
Harvey Weinstein was fired after his decades of sexual harassment came to light in a bombshell New York Times expose, but now we're learning that three women allege the studio boss raped them, the New Yorker reports.
One of the women is Anthony Bourdain's actress girlfriend Asia Argento, another is aspiring actress Lucia Evans, and the third has yet to be named. Wow! Not only that, but four more women told the publication that they had experienced unwanted sexual advances and touching by Weinstein. More than 16 former executives and assistants at the Weinstein company confirmed that they had either witnessed or known about the incidents.
Bourdain isn't holding back his opinions on Twitter, and he's praising his lady love for having the courage to come forward.
"@AsiaArgento I am proud and honored to know you. You just did the hardest thing in the world," he wrote in one tweet. "@rosemcgowan has been way out in front of this thing . Took a lot of courage. Can everyone who dismissed @rosemcgowan now do the right thing and go f*ck themselves?" he wrote in another. "Can we use the word “rapist†now? #Weinstein," he continued.
The Parts Unknown host then took aim at Matt Damon and Russell Crowe, who allegedly worked to kill a New York Times piece about Weinstein's sexual misconduct years ago. "Wow. Just, wow. Damon and Crowe and The NYT got some 'splaining to do," he added.
Finally, he had some choice words for Donna Karan, who had the gaul to defend Weinstein and basically say that the women "asked for it."
"To @dkny How many seventeen year olds have you dressed like they are, in your words, "asking for it "? he captioned one of her provocative fashion ads.
We have a feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg, and it's already horrifying!
