Asia Argento is so brave!
The Italian actress and director described the “nightmare” of being sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein to Ronan Farrow for The New Yorker‘s expos├â┬⌐ on the producer. She claims he forcibly performed oral sex on her despite repeatedly asking him to stop.
In the same article, Asia even revealed she based a scene off the incident for her 2000 film Scarlet Diva, one in which a producer asks her for a massage before assaulting her.
