Rain Dove, the model Rose McGowan named in her statement on Monday, confirmed giving investigators a series of text messages in which Asia Argento allegedly admitted to a sexual encounter with a minor. According to Dove, the text message exchange started when Argento reached out on the day before the New York Times article was published. Dove also said they wanted Argento to "be able to stand behind the same truth that she demanded other people had." Dove continued, "I spoke to [Argento] after the texts got leaked, and she was convinced Rose and I had leaked the text messages, but of course, in fact, we did not." On Wednesday, Dove also released a lengthy statement on Twitter which read, "I can confirm that the text messages are indeed between Asia Argento and myself."
