During his final months, Anthony Bourdain had been a vocal supporter of the #MeToo movement and other women coming forward with their stories.
As his girlfriend Asia Argento was one of the many actresses who accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault, he became a member of a small community that included Rose McGowan.

Now the couple’s friend is speaking out in a heartbroken video message to Anthony following his death — and to anyone else considering suicide.
While she has since deleted the clip, she shared this message (below):
Anthony I am so mad at you. You were so loved, the world is not better without you. I have a message for those considering suicide as a solution to a temporary problem. Please call a hotline. Please reach out. Asia needed you, Anthony. We needed you. Please come back. pic.twitter.com/kqOEdJ80h9
