Asia Argento’s Attorney Fires Warning Shot at Jimmy Bennett Over Upcoming TV Interview

EXCLUSIVE

Asia Argento‘s attorney fired off a stern warning to Jimmy Bennett — be very careful with what you say about me … or you’re gonna regret it.

Asia’s attorney, Mark Heller, fired off a letter to Jimmy’s lawyer Thursday — obtained by TMZ — regarding the reported upcoming interview he’s got scheduled on an Italian television station to address their sexual encounter on May 9, 2013.

According to the letter … Bennett’s words will be carefully monitored for any “slanderous, defamatory or untruthful statements” concerning Argento, and if they believe there are any — they’ll be taking legal action.

Jimmy’s interview is scheduled for sometime this weekend. As you know, Asia is originally from Italy and has a home there.

As we’ve reported … both Argento and Bennett have made sexual assault allegations against each other. The two had sex in a Marina del Rey, CA hotel room when he was just 17. She says he was a horny kid who pounced on her and took away her free will. He says this was planned seduction with a minor.

The photo of Argento and Bennett in bed after they had sex, along with the text messages, seem to support Bennett’s version.

Argento trashed Bennett, calling him a failed actor and drug abuser. 

TMZ broke the story … Bennett has decided to pursue the matter with the L.A. County Sheriff’s Dept., which has not opened a criminal investigation.
