"Asia Argento stunned at the closing ceremony of the 2018 Cannes Film Festival by delivering a withering speech in which she said that disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein raped her at ‘this festival’ in 1997."
So maybe the people running Cannes wanted to get back at Argento for revealing what goes on at their "festivals"
"The Italian filmmaker, most famous to American audiences for her role in Vin Diesel’s 2002 film xXx, has been at the forefront of the #MeToo movement, breaking the Weinstein scandal by doing an interview with Ronan Farrow for the New Yorker back in October.
Argento subsequently left Italy for Germany due to the culture of ‘victim-blaming’ in her home country."

"Following her speech, people quickly praised the director and actress for her bravery, among whom was her partner, the celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain.
He tweeted: 'Brava. An absolutely fearless off script nuclear bomb of a speech to a stunned crowd at Cannes"
Hmmm.
Who runs Cannes?
Along with Argento's revelation aboit Weinstein, there was some conflict between the festival and Netflix.Hmmm

Three main dudes run it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Lescure
https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/François_Erlenbach
So maybe rocking the boat at their profitable little festival, and attention from wannabe starlets went over the line? They couldn't whack Argento so they took out Bourdain as a warning to others?
Maybe there is a standing list of troublemakers, and whenever the deep state needs a distraction, they pick one and the media runs it over all other stories?
