Nothing contributes to a discussion like pulling unsubstantiated allegations out of one's ass.
Just didn't feel right making a self revealing post, and then giving y'all nothing to attack me for so... :wink:
I'd be lying if I said it didn't cross my mind for a split second, what with Bitali and all, but mostly because I had him confused with Bittman for that split second. It's certainly not rational at all.
Tony's girlfriend is (fuck, was) Asia Argento who is one of the first women to speak out against Weinstein. He was very vocal about hating Weinstein and what he had done to women. I don't think he would speak out publicly that way if he had skeletons in his closet.

I don't think he does have any. I'm just saying if I'm honest, I'll say it flashed in my mind for a split second. It's a comment on myself and the current barrage of unexpected revelations more than on Bourdain.

By all accounts he was an imcresibly good guy. Sorry to see him go.

That's all I was saying too, the idea flashed into my mind. Then I googled, and read about his girlfriend. I don't buy him killing himself because of a break up though, it has had to be 100 times easier for him to get a new girlfriend than it is for me. :think:
Technically, he shouldn't be here.

There was a tweet posted and then deleted by Asia just before his death was announced that made me wonder something.

The post was basically saying Fuck Off to what appeared to be some grouping of people.

I ponder if something may have been said to hear by some supposed friends about his age. Perhaps even asking her if he was her Weinstein or other such asinine stuff(not hard to imagine in today world of toxicity). If he had caught wind of it or she had discussed it with him before this happened I can see her linking it to that(possibly rightfully so). That would be heart wrenching.

Reminds me of when the smartest guy in my Nuclear Power School class killed himself. Man, there I was envying that guy because I had to log thirty-five hours more study time than his "zero" hours every week. :shock:

I bet today's news about Asia Argento was the reason.
