Italian filmmaker Asia Argento has the full support of boyfriend Anthony Bourdain after she dropped bombshell claims accusing Harvey Weinstein of raping her.
The culinary vagabond spent Tuesday lobbing blistering tweets at the disgraced Hollywood producer after the New Yorker magazine published Argento's disturbing account of the 1997 assault that she said took place in a French Riviera hotel room.
"I am proud and honored to know you. You just did the hardest thing in the world," Bourdain said in a touching note to Argento, after she went public with her story.
"Can we use the word 'rapist' now," the host of CNN's "Parts Unknown" then demanded.
Argento, 42, is one of three women who came forward in Ronan Farrow's piece with harrowing tales of Weinstein's sleazy ways.
Argento, then a 21-year-old actress, said she was tricked into going to what she thought would be a star-studded Miramax party at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. What she found was Weinstein in a bathrobe.
The film executive demanded a massage and Argento said she obliged.
The horror did not stop. Weinstein then performed oral sex on her, even as she repeatedly told him no, she said.
"It's twisted," Argento told the New Yorker.
Three years later, Argento channeled what she experienced by depicting details of the rape for the 2000 flick "Scarlet Diva," which she wrote and directed. The scene shows a man in a bathrobe telling a woman he'll read her story _ but only after she massages him with a bottle of lotion.
Bourdain retweeted that clip from Argento's film to his 6.4 million fans.
He continued his ardent campaign against Weinstein by sharing damning audio from a NYPD sting operation of the producer seemingly admitting to groping a model in 2015.
"This is what a powerful, professional predator sounds like in action," wrote Bourdain, 61.
Bourdain began honing in on former Miramax executive Fabrizio Lombardo as early as Sunday, while recalling the smear campaigns that tailed Weinstein's initial accusers.
Bourdain appeared to slight Matt Damon on Tuesday for allegedly pressuring the New York Times to vouch for former studioman Lombardo.
"Looking forward to 'THE BOURNE APOLOGY' in which Jason fights off attempts to expose a pimp," Bourdain said.
To cap off his night, Bourdain continued to ponder Lombardo's real role at the studio's office in Italy.
He asked, "What, exactly, does Fabrizio Lombardo do for a living?"
