Asia Argento made a speech at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival that shocked the crowd. She revealed that Harvey Weinstein raped her at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival. She predicted that Weinstein would never be able to show his face again and he will be shunned from future events. She was calling for a ban of Harvey Weinstein saying that he would never be welcomed their again.
Weinstein’s attorney came out, and of course, denied the accusations. His attorney said that he only has “well wishes” for her. Argento goes on to say how he repeatedly asked for sexual advances after the rape as well. She felt like she had to or else her career would be ruined.
During the speech she made the comment, “and if we stop this conversation, then we’re really doomed.” Tell me your thoughts on this comment.
