Asia Argento clears the air

When Anthony was found unresponsive in a French hotel room, it was ruled as suicide and there was no evidence around to suspect foul play. People wanted a guinea pig to blame and they found it in his girlfriend Asia Argento whom they accused of cheating on him.

People said that it was this cheating that drove Anthony to commit suicide. There were also some sexual assault accusations levied against her. Asia was heartbroken by his death news and took some time to gather herself before she decided to clarify the haze surrounding her relationship with Anthony.

Asia told DailyMailTV:

“People say I murdered him. They say I killed him. I understand that the world needs to find a reason. I would like to find a reason too,”

She added:

“People need to think that he killed himself for something like this. He cheated on me too. It wasn’t a problem for us.”

She continued:

“He was a man who traveled 265 days a year. When we saw each other, we took really great pleasure in each other’s presence, but we are not children. We are grown-ups.”
