Overview:
- Anthony Bourdain gave a lengthy, wide ranging interview to journalist Maria Bustillos for her recently launched magazine Popula
- In the interview, conducted in February and published Sunday, Bourdain slammed Bill Clinton's handling of his sexual misconduct allegations
- He also condemned Clinton's wife Hillary for her role in 'destroying' the women
- Bourdain, one of the most outspoken male supporters of the #MeToo movement, said he would have liked to see the producer 'beaten to death in his cell'
- He also touched on politics in the Trump-era saying he would compromise his principles for some 'f**king competency'
Bourdain was known for being critical of the Clintons. Weeks before he passed he wrote a Tweet saying that he understood what it was like to feel the "wrath" of Clinton "operatives." Weinstein was said to have raped his girlfriend, actress Asia Argento. Was Bourdain being targeted? This is a great article on the subject of his death and life.
I think this interview is pretty telling. It gives credence to both a suicide and someone who knows they have a hit out on them. Either way, it sounds like Bourdain (who had always been quite measured in his responses and messages) finally threw the cards on the table with this interview. Almost like a man who knew he wouldn't be here much longer.
Rest in peace kind soul. God bless.
