Anthony Bourdain struggled with fame and heartbreak in the days leading up to his death by suicide, a new book reveals.<\/p>\n

In an unauthorized biography titled \u201cDown and Out in Paradise: The Life of Anthony Bourdain,\u201d journalist Charles Leerhsen includes text messages sent by the late celebrity chef in his final days that give insight into his mindset.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hate my fans, too. I hate being famous. I hate my job, \u201dBourdain wrote to his ex-wife Ottavia Busia-Bourdain, who had become one of his close confidants, per an excerpt published by the New York Times. \u201cI am lonely and living in constant uncertainty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leerhsen also notes in the book, due out Oct. 11, that Bourdain and his then-girlfriend of two years, Asia Argento, often had fits of jealousy.<\/p>\n

Five days before he died in June 2018, the CNN host saw photos of Argento, 47, dancing with French reporter Hugo Cl\u00e9ment in a Roman restaurant the couple would frequent together.<\/p>\n

According to the book, Bourdain was \u201cincensed\u201d over the images and searched the \u201cLand of the Dead\u201d star’s name online \u201chundreds of times,\u201d causing them to argue over the phone and via text.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am okay. I am not spiteful. I am not jealous that you have been with another man. I do not own you. You are free. As I said. As I promised. As I truly meant, \u201dthe\u201c Parts Unknown \u201dstar reportedly texted Argento a day before his death.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you were careless. You were reckless with my heart. My life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bourdain noted in the same conversation that he was most hurt by the fact that the Italian actress’ alleged tryst took place at a hotel in Rome that they loved.<\/p>\n

Argento then reportedly wrote back to him, \u201cI can’t take this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cXXX\u201d star proceeded to break up with Bourdain over his \u201cpossessiveness,\u201d according to the book.<\/p>\n

A day later \u2014 after a full day of filming followed by a night of drinking \u2014 the beloved chef reached out to Argento once more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs there anything I can do?\u201d he reportedly asked, to which his ex answered, \u201cStop busting my balls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bourdain, according to the book, simply wrote back, \u201cOK\u201d and then hanged himself.<\/p>\n
