Sex

Asia Argento has been axed from "X Factor Italy" after evidence surfaced she had sex with a 17-year-old boy.

Seven episodes are already in the can with Argento as one of the judges and those episodes will air, but she's been cut from the live shows that follow.

According to the Italian media, the producers -- FremantleMedia Italia and Sky Italia -- had previously decided if the allegations were true, she would no longer be welcome on the show.

TMZ broke the story ... Argento admitted in text messages to having sex with then-17-year-old Jimmy Bennett, despite recently denying it. There is also a photo of the 2 in bed at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Marina del Rey, CA, where they hooked up.

Faizon Love was a sex-crazed boss who went so far as sending his personal assistant an XXX video ... so claims an assistant who quit after 17 days on the job.

Tashiana Luke is suing the comedian/actor and his company, Dough Boy Inc. and claims Faizon would regularly make unwanted sexual advances. According to docs obtained by TMZ ... Tashiana says one night Faizon texted her, "I shot a test scene. [W]hat do you think" and the message included video showing a young woman performing oral sex on Faizon. He dodged jail time.

Tashiana says she was hired June 9, 2016 and quit on June 26 ... saying Faizon, who less than a year ago was caught on video brutally beating down an airport valet employee at Columbus International Airport, made it an intolerable work environment.

She says Faizon would regularly ogle her and say, "Your ass looks nice in those pants." She says he'd also remind her, in a sexually suggestive way, "You know you need your tuition paid" ... implying she should perform sexual favors for him in return for employment.

Tashiana is suing for sexual harassment and seeking unspecified damages.

The man accusing Asia Argento of sexual misconduct when he was 17 years old says he chose to keep the event private because he was afraid and ashamed to have his story heard.

In a statement to The New York Times, Jimmy Bennett says, "I did not initially speak out about my story because I chose to handle it in private with the person who wronged me. My trauma resurfaced as she came out as a victim herself. I have not made a public statement in the past days and hours because I was ashamed and afraid to be part of the public narrative."

He continues, "At the time I believed there was still a stigma to being in the situation as a male in our society. I didn't think that people would understand the event that took place from the eyes of a teenage boy. I would like to move past this event in my life, and today I choose to move forward, no longer in silence."

We broke the story ... a photo of Argento and Bennett in bed together -- shirtless -- suggests the 2 had a sexual relationship, along with several text messages between Asia and a friend in which she flat-out admits she had sex with him.

The bed photo is one of 4 that Bennett, now 22 years old, took in a Marina del Rey hotel room back in 2013. Sources tell us the pic was taken after the 2 had intercourse. It's a crime in California for an adult to have sex with a person under 18 ... and Asia was 37 at the time.

However, Argento released a statement Tuesday saying, "I have never had any sexual relationship with Bennett" ... but claims Bennett was litigious and made exorbitant money demands, so she settled with him for $380,000.

Her boyfriend, Anthony Bourdain, paid Bennett the money because Asia says they wanted to "no longer suffer any further intrusions in our life."

In the text messages to her friend, though ... Asia admits to sex with Bennett but claims she didn't know he was a minor until he sent a "shakedown letter." She adds ... "it wasn't raped (sic) but I was frozen. He was on top of me. After, he told me I had been his sexual fantasy since was 12."

Kevin Spacey is the target of yet another sexual assault case in Los Angeles.

A rep for the L.A. County District Attorney's Office tells us they received a sexual assault case Tuesday from the L.A. County Sheriff's Department. It's currently unclear when the alleged event happened or details surrounding it.

TMZ broke the story earlier this year ... Spacey was under investigation in L.A. for another incident that allegedly happened in October 1992. The alleged incident involved an adult male. The case was ultimately rejected because the statute of limitations had expired.

Spacey's "Billionaire Boys Club" opened to a reported $618 over the weekend ... a career low for the actor.

Asia Argento says she did not have sex with then 17-year-old Jimmy Bennett, but a photo and various text messages between Argento and a friend tell a very different story ... she flat-out says she had sex with him.

This is one of 4 photos Bennett, now 22, took in a Marina del Rey hotel room back in 2013. The then 37-year-old Argento and Bennett are on a bed shirtless, their heads on a pillow and their arms entangled. Sources tell TMZ the pic was taken after the 2 had intercourse. It's a crime in California for an adult to have sex with a person under 18.

Bennett later threatened legal action and, in April, Argento settled with him for $380,000 ... which her boyfriend, Anthony Bourdain, paid.

Argento released a statement Tuesday, saying, "I have never had any sexual relationship with Bennett."

Above are partial text exchanges between Argento and one of her friends. Argento and the friend went back and forth in the midst of the backlash from the New York Times story that ran Sunday about her and Bennett. Argento's messages are in grey ... her friend's are in blue.

Argento says Bennett wrote this note (above) on Ritz-Carlton stationary -- the hotel where they hooked up -- and said, "Asia, I love you with all my heart. So glad we met again and I'm so glad your in my life. Jimmy." She texts her friend the note, saying, "He wrote me this afterwards and kept sending me unsolicited nudes all these years up until 2 weeks before the attorneys letter.

She goes on to say ... "it wasn't raped (sic) but I was frozen. He was on top of me. After, he told me I had been his sexual fantasy since was 12."

Argento has accused Harvey Weinstein of rape and is one of the first women to come forward in the #MeToo movement. Weinstein's lawyer, Ben Brafman, lashed out earlier in the week, saying, "This development reveals a stunning level of hypocrisy by Asia Argento, one of the most vocal catalysts who sought to destroy Harvey Weinstein."

As we reported, the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. is reaching out to Bennett to determine if a criminal investigation is warranted.

A 37-year-old Asia Argento snuggled with then-17-year-old Jimmy Bennett on a bed, shirtless, their foreheads pressed together, her arm over his as they lay with satisfied smiles ... that is the photo that Asia paid $380,000 for -- a photo TMZ has now seen.

The photo was taken on May 9, 2013 in a room at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Marina del Rey, California. Our sources say the selfie was shot by Jimmy after the 2 had sex. Jimmy claimed Asia liquored him up, began kissing him, pushed him onto the bed, performed oral sex on him and then climbed on top of him and had intercourse ... this according to documents obtained by the New York Times.

The photo is not overtly sexual, however a casual observer would clearly conclude it looks like a post-sex pic as the 2 faintly smiled while they lay on a shared pillow.

Asia -- who is one of the first alleged victims to come forward claiming Harvey Weinstein raped her -- has not been reachable since the recent story broke. What's interesting ... she still has up the Instagram pictures of her at the Ritz-Carlton that day ... saying in one photo, "Waiting for my long lost son my love."

We also have information as to why Asia did not have Jimmy sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in return for paying $380k. Fact is, she couldn't, because in California confidentiality agreements are not enforceable when they involve allegations of child sex acts ... even if the victim is now an adult.

Weinstein's lawyer, Ben Brafman, lashed out at Argento, saying it was the height of hypocrisy for her to secretly cut a deal involving her own alleged sexual misconduct at the same time she was going after his client. She settled her case with Jimmy in April.

Asia Argento -- one of Harvey Weinstein's first accusers and a prominent figure in the #MeToo movement -- reportedly paid off her own accuser, a then 17-year-old boy.

The NYT cites documents it obtained outlining an agreement between Argento's lawyer and her accuser's attorney to pay former child actor Jimmy Bennett -- who once co-starred alongside Argento in a 2004 film -- $380,000 over multiple installments.

The Times reports Bennett's attorney reached out to Argento's camp late last year -- shortly before Ronan Farrow's bombshell New Yorker piece -- stating an intent to sue ... and describing alleged "sexual battery" between Argento and Bennett in 2013 -- when he was only 17 years old. He's 22 now.

According to the Times, the documents claim Jimmy met Asia at a Ritz-Carlton hotel in Marina del Rey, CA on May 9, 2013 and that she proceeded to give him alcohol, kiss him, push him back onto the bed, perform oral sex on him ... and then climb on top of him to have intercourse.

Argento has photos of her and Bennett on her social media account from the day in question. One post shows a photo of the two of them with her caption reading "Happiest day of my life reunion with @jimmymbennett xox". The Times says Bennett's lawyer claimed his client had more photos, one of which allegedly depicts both of them lying topless in bed from that day.

According to the Times ... Argento agreed to pay Bennett $200,000 this past April as an initial installment for the copyright to the risque photo that was in his possession. The Times also cites an email written to Argento from her lawyer saying ... "Ultimately, you decided against the non-disclosure [NDA] language because you felt it was inconsistent with the public messages you’ve conveyed about the societal perils of non-disclosure agreements."

The alleged email ends with this ... "Bennett could theoretically tell people his claims against you. However, under this agreement, he cannot sue you for them. Nor can he post the photo of the two of you. At the very he is not permitted to bother you for more money, disparage you or sue -- so long as you comply with your obligations in the agreement."

One of the most famous brothels in the world thinks it can help Tiger Woods get over the hump ... by humping.

Tiger is getting dangerously close to returning to his old dominating self -- and Sheri's Ranch thinks his rampant sex habit gave him the confidence to kill it on the links.

"We all love Tiger here at Sheri’s,” Dena, the madam of Sheri’s Ranch says ... "Since Sheri’s is known for keeping secrets, there is no safer place for Tiger to indulge his unquenchable urge for sex with a wide variety of women."

In fact, they're offering up a 75% discount for the golfer on anything they offer -- and they offer a helluva lot.

Could it work? Dunno ... but it couldn't hurt.

French Montana knows knows how to walk a tightrope ... skirting the issue Kanye raised in song ... whether someone married to a Kardashian thinks about banging the other Kardashians.

We got Khloe's ex Friday night at LAX, and asked him if Kanye's verse -- that he has thought about what it would be like to have sex with Kim's sisters -- was disgusting or understandable.

Ex-Ohio State assistant football coach Zach Smith took pictures of his penis while inside the White House during a 2015 team visit to celebrate the OSU national championship ... so says his ex-wife.

But, Smith's attorney says the penis in the photo -- which reportedly shows a tie and wedding ring that match up with Smith -- does not belong to his client.

FYI, Zach is the former Ohio State WRs coach who was fired last month in the wake of reports detailing an alleged history of domestic violence.

As for the penis photos, Zach's ex-wife Courtney told college football reporter Brett McMurphy she believes the pics to be authentic.

McMurphy did not publish the pics but described them in detail -- saying one features Zach's penis while he's wearing the black suit he wore to the White House event.

Another photo features Zach's penis next to a towel with the presidential seal on it.

Courtney also claims Zach took multiple penis pics in the Ohio State coaches' office during his employment with OSU -- including one where he's receiving oral sex from an OSU staffer.

Zach's attorney told McMurphy none of the penis pics are actually his client -- but didn't offer up an explanation.

McMurphy is also reporting Smith ordered $2,200 in "sex toys, male apparel and photography equipment" which he had sent to the Ohio State athletic offices.

Among the items ... "Men’s spider enhancer thong triple c**kring, body wear CS2 metallic erotic c**k strap gold and snake skin, WildmanT ball lifter red, candyman men’s jock suspenders" and more.

Kris Jenner still loves Kanye West ... even if he does fantasize about getting with her daughters, despite being married to Kim.

We got Kris and her mom leaving Nate'n Al deli in Beverly Hills Wednesday, and asked if she has any thoughts on Kanye's new track ... in which he revealed he wants to "smash" all 4 of his sisters-in-law.

Kris seems to find it all kind of funny, and says she's got nothing but love for Ye ... so, not your typical mother-in-law response.

The Urban X Awards -- a show that honors black porn performers -- is just a few days away ... but the main ticket, The AVN Awards, remains almost totally dominated by white people.

This year's AVNs had about 20 main categories, and almost every category -- with the exception of the Best Comedy, "Jews Love Black C**k" -- was won by white actors or a predominantly white cast. Even the award for Most Epic Ass was taken home by a white chick.

Van Lathan tackled the issue head-on during this week's episode of his podcast, 'The Red Pill' with black porn legend Nat Turnher.

Turnher certainly agrees, #AVNsSoWhite holds a hell of a lotta truth ... but he's got his mind on cash, not plaques.

With such a switch in Hollywood award shows over the last year to include people of color ... it's time for the AVNs to take note.

Bella Thorne's damn proud of her pussy rap, and says her family is too -- and yes, we're referring to Bella's musical homage to the female anatomy.

We got the former-Disney-actress-turned-rap-artist Monday at LAX ... and she tells us she's heard nothing but great things about her new song, "Pussy Mine."

Bella says she was a little worried about the lyrical content, but imagines her mom is somewhere bumping the song in her car. Pretty funny image, especially when you see and hear Bella performing the track in her risque music vid.

Bella and her bf, Mod Sun, were getting ready to board a flight to New York, where she's performing this weekend at Billboard's Hot 100 Festival. She gave him props for his rap flow.

Kanye West's new song says he's got "sick thoughts" ... and some of them involve all 4 of his sisters-in-law.

Ye released a brand new track Saturday morning on Twitter -- "XTCY" -- and along with obvious lyrics about ecstasy ... there's a very interesting line about wanting to bang Kim's sisters -- Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie.

West raps ... "You got sick thoughts? I got more of ’em / You got a sister-in-law you would smash? I got four of them." Then he says they need a bigger hot tub.

Kanye's been very open about his sexual fantasies this week, including talking to Jimmy Kimmel about what kind of porn he prefers ... which led to an offer to direct his own adult film.

Kanye West just got an offer he might not refuse ... directing a porn movie after giving his fav a shout-out on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

Greg Lansky -- widely considered the Steven Spielberg of porn -- runs a high-end porn production company, including Blacked.com, which also happens to be Kanye's XXX of choice. The rapper said as much to a late night national TV audience.

Didn't take long for Greg to craft an offer and fire it off to Ye ... first thanking him for mentioning Blacked. As for the offer -- let Kanye direct a porn movie. According to the letter -- obtained by TMZ -- Kanye will have full artistic control.

And, how's this for an enticing offer? Greg also has 2 porn stars in mind for Kanye's film.

If the Blacked.com deal doesn't do the trick for Kanye -- Pornhub's got his back (and his front) too -- telling us they'd like to extend a free lifetime membership to the site's HD, on-demand streaming service, Pornhub Premium.

The NFL Network is responding to Heath Evans -- who claims he should NOT have lost his job for sending sexual pics to a wardrobe lady because she sent sexy pictures back.

But, the NFL Network ain't buyin' what Heath's sellin' -- essentially saying the fact it was mutual doesn't mean it wasn't "misconduct" in the first place.

"Heath’s employment was terminated as a result of his own misconduct – which he freely admitted to on Twitter today," network spokesperson Alex Riethmiller tells TMZ Sports.

"Before severing its relationship with Heath, the NFL carefully considered all of the circumstances, including the information that Heath provided. In the end, the NFL concluded that his conduct was not acceptable in our workplace and we stand by our decision to terminate his employment."
