The Truth About Anthony Bourdain's Romantic Relationships

[@NickiSwift]

Rest In Peace Anthony Bourdain.

[@morgantylerv9406]

Anthony Bourdain was not only an icon but possessed so much empathy for people he met from around the world. He will always be remembered to me as "Chef Extraordinaire." RIP Anthony, you are very missed & always remembered for your very unique style‼️🧑‍🍳🙏💔👨‍🍳🥙👨‍🍳🥗🧑‍🍳🍣👨‍🍳🍝👨‍🍳🦪🧑‍🍳🥘👨‍🍳🍲🧑‍🍳🍛👨‍🍳🫕🧑‍🍳

Sad to say but Mr Bourdain picked a real dud to love. Ms Argento appeared to not feel the same way and he took it hard. Who wants to be in at “open relationship” if you feel strongly about someone? Clearly, he cared more for her than she did him. We all make a fool out of ourselves for love. He was a good man. Millions loved his work. RIP.

[@MariaLopez-k2j]

How about old men stop chasing women 20 year younger. Why he didn't get with women his own age🙄

[@fenix310]

Many gay people have open relationships

[@lettiegrant9447]

👍👍

[@patriciafix6626]

@tod3msn Yeah. I agree. What a waste of a good life over a mixed-up woman. You know it's too bad that this timeframe was before Richard Cooper was on the internet on 'The Unplugged Alfa' to offer his common sense sound advice. Three days talking face to face, in person, with Richard Cooper would have OPENED HIS EYES to the way low quality women can dismantle and ruin a man's life. Such a sad outcome. Tony needed to be taught to be mentally and emotionally strong. You'd think the jujitsu would have done that (!) Tony needed direction from Richard Cooper. He would be alive today.

[@morgantylerv9406]

So true🙏💔

[@clocloww1622]

The worst encounter for him was Argento. I’m Italian we grew up with her stupid creepy bs playing the coolest girl. She’s quite messy utterly screw up. For him was a fatal encounter, brought all his demons on the surface. So Sorry for him

[@beverlystraus9300]

You are 100% correct!

[@kathykay6602]

He was doing heavy drugs long before he met her and he cheated on her too. Both had their demons.

[@kathykay6602]

Not true.He was doing heavy drugs long before he met her and he was cheating on her too and she was much younger than he was.

Not worth it.

[@bopeep1455]

He publicly went to bat for Argento in regards to Weinstein. He supported her 100% when the inevitable doubt and questions arose because after being assaulted by Weinstein she had a consensual relationship with him. Her story was not black and white as some of the other victims of weinstein. Tony was head over heels for Argento and would hear none of it. Some of his closest friends became concerned about his relationship with her but Tony put them on notice that she was here to stay and became even more protective of her. They had no idea that this included paying her accuser off. Although Tony was very successful his net worth included real estate and other non cash assets. Paying off Argentos accuser took a lot of cash that he didn’t necessarily have laying around. Tony was completely besotted and acting like a teenager. When the pictures of Argento and Hugo Clement were printed he was visibly upset. He called her and they fought over the phone. She posted a pic wearing a Sid vicious t-shirt that said “F” everyone. She added the comment “you know who you are.” Tony was supposed to meet his friend eric for dinner and never showed. Again he was to meet eric the next morning for breakfast and didn’t show up. He was then found dead in his hotel room. Tony died of humiliation. He knew paying off her accuser would become public knowledge and the pictures with Clement made him feel used. Although she now states they had an open relationship, when she became aware that she was being photographed with Clement she asked the photographer to delete the photos. Tony committed suicide five days after the photos first appeared online. After Tony’s death Argento deleted the Sid vicious tee pic. Although it was ultimately Tony’s choice to end his life, Argentos “use” of the men in her life has had extreme consequences. Not the least of which is a young girl growing up with out a father.

[@mamarobyn]

I agree completely!

[@lauradrinkwine7673]

I agree this is what most likely happened. Unfortunately, bad times don’t last forever, but suicide does. That makes me tremendously sad. In the finals analysis, she (nor is anybody) worth dying over. There are people who are worth much more and whom you are worth much more to in life. So sad.

[@zyxmyk]

Brilliantly articulated.

[@hestergreen2031]

Tony Bourdain, believed in her.He loved her with all his being. If she had faults., he could see past it. Love is love. You cannot change the way you feel about someone. When he was depressed, he had to cope with his own demons. He couldn’t share what he was going through cause it was such a dark place. Maybe during these moments he had to rustle with it. He may have gotten tired of the fight. The mental fight of this The mental fight of it all. He may have felt that there was no way outta this fighting ring. And in this dispute he committed suicide.

[@hestergreen2031]

@@lauradrinkwine7673 This whole situation with Anthony Bourdain ending life, is. so terribly sad. None of us know how he may have been tortured with his own demons. This is not stuff that is shared.

[@cantthinkofone6995]

My father was also involved in Vietnam and the trajectory of his life was completely altered due to his time on the front lines. He also became a heavy alcoholic and eventually lost his amazing career and material possessions, and ultimately his family. We received word that he was found at the end of his driveway deceased. It appeared as if he had deliberately drank to excess and they were unsure whether it was alcohol poisoning (he was an alcoholic of several decades, so the amount found within his system to cause poisoning was immense) or the injury to his head that led to his passing. I feel terribly for everyone affected by that war. There’s an entire generation of young men (and women) that had their lives permanently altered for the worse due to what they saw/went through. Likewise to the Vietnamese fighters and civilian victims.

[@livecool.diecool]

Bourdain went to Vietnam on vacation, and loved it. He wasn't involved in the war.

[@azovandy14.88]

Lol are you kidding me? It’s disrespectful to your father and all veterans who’ve served in combat to compare someone’s tourism to combat.

[@davidswift7776]

Perhaps naïve, but I viewed his show and thought he was so well adjusted and happy.

[@misspomerol]

All I have to say is : you can only do it for so long. And when you’re done you’re done. If you know what I’m talking about, you know what I’m talking about and if you don’t you don’t.

[@cynthiagibson3069]

I think he had depression all his life and fought it as long as he could.

[@marapeters9144]

I understand this only too well .....from my own life 😌

[@skipp10467]

He definitely had a type. I used to think him and Asia were a cute couple, but things got so dark towards the end

[@UhaniNaluSurf]

I watched Tony's different series for over a decade. One of my all time faves. He was a Liberal, but even if you're not, you liked him, his voice, and how he dealt with people. I've seen Roadrunner several times and there is an iconic name reason line..."he ran for a long time, but you can't outsmart pain." The last woman was his trigger, I think he was overall disappointed with life as a romantic and yes he was a prior addict, he really didn't want to be a dad, and I don't think he wanted to live as an older guy, just getting older.

[@lauradrinkwine7673]

Don’t you think though, once a dad he was happy at that job? I don’t know. I did t k ow him.

[@UhaniNaluSurf]

@@lauradrinkwine7673 I don't think so if you watched the movie and his series for years. Having a kid and becoming a father does not make everyone happy. Guys I've known since high school that got women pregnant, that didn't make them happy. If it had made Bourdain happy, he would still be alive, and not be triggered by the tattooed freak that was screwing around all over the world. Bourdain had the cash to have the Swedish bikini team on staff around the clock, but even that couldn't make him happy, unfortunately.

[@lauradrinkwine7673]

@@UhaniNaluSurf I get that it doesn’t make everyone happy. I’m a parent and i get that. I’m just not convinced he was so unhappy with being a dad, especially given that his wife said she was used to him being gone AND the wife was extremely capable of raising this girl, I’m just not convinced he was that unhappy. Just me.

[@UhaniNaluSurf]

@@lauradrinkwine7673 Who knows? He was an addict earlier, and a romantic, and he reminded me of my dad somewhat. I don't think he wanted to live old, he was sort of a narcissist, and I think the disappointment with that woman triggered him, even after seeing the world, even being a millionaire, and having a kid, he was done. I think he had gone all in with that relationship, he had fired long term friends because of her, and he couldn't overcome his disappointment, heartbreak and guilt. I think the movie is very deep.

[@lauradrinkwine7673]

@@UhaniNaluSurf I think having fired friends and other things he had done for her made him feel like a chump. Regardless, it’s sad. Or maybe it’s not sad. Who knows. I’m an empath, so……🤷‍♀️

[@celebvillage]

People either hated or loved Bourdain. Can't deny he set a mark in the restaurant industry...for the better I believe?

[@markferguson3745]

As a chef myself, I think that he wrongfully encouraged a lot of people to see the work for something it never was, or has stopped being.When he was actually in kitchens, the work and NYC were very different places, - no parallel to now. I've talked to many culinary graduates that had a lot of delusions.

[@kathykay6602]

Mediocre to say the least,He was not a chef.

[@itstheweather642]

No. He posted on twitter two weeks before he died that Killarys goons were after him again. Something about his girlfriend going to reveal something, probably about Weinstein.

[@michellecrocker2485]

I remember on the roadrunner documentary that he would fire anyone who would complain about Asia. People he had worked with for much longer than he had been with Asia. Obviously she had a bad influence

[@Throatzillaaa]

I was very confused by this comment. I read your comment before the video started. I was like, "Asia? He was "with" a continent?"

[@emmaphilo4049]

What happened to him in early life? His mental health was so troubled.... RIP

[@zyxmyk]

he was really an okay chef who was also a really talented writer. as a kid he read a lot and fell in love with bad-boy writers: hemingway, hunter s. thompson, probably the "beat" writers, kerouac, allen ginsberg, etc. he had upside down values--smoking is cool, using hard drugs is cool, and he pursued that image in a fearless way. problem is, when you live that way and hit sixy, you look like your face is made of billfold leather, and you're tired, more than that, you're weary. He was trying to keep up with this much younger woman, while working all the time, exhausted. when you're exhausted you can't think straight. this woman he's done everything for starts doing a sadistic number on him. he looked at his life, which was lonely, at his age, at the impending humiliation he was going to get in the tabloids, that in ten short years he's going to be seventy, so he capped himself. that's the story. long answer but a truthful one. he didn't like what he saw coming at him up the tunnel.

[@hestergreen2031]

Some of this should be kept private. Bourdain is dead. Let him Rest In Peace. He was who he was. What took place in his life should be left unpublished out of respect for Bourdain.

[@lauradrinkwine7673]

I’m not sure. There are consequences to everything, and maybe someone will see this and think, “when it gets really bad, just try to hunker down and wait for it to pass.” What possible good does it do to keep things a secret? Someone(s) may be able to learn from this while they are mentally healthy amd remember in times of depression. There are people who are immature but there are caring sensible people as well who can learn from this. We can hope. If even one person uses what happened to him as some lesson and it saves even one life….is it not worth publishing?

[@hestergreen2031]

@@lauradrinkwine7673 Yes, your right. You’ve made valid points. But, I was just thinking if he had relatives who read this, say his wife, or ex-wife, or daughter. How hard it is going to read it. Then apply it to him, and how they knew him. But, all and all, thank you for pointing this out. Hopefully it will help someone
