Actress and director Asia Argento has said she was forced to leave her native Italy after speaking out about an alleged sexual assault at the hands of Harvey Weinstein.
I didn’t have to courage to speak until now because you see what happened, 20 years after the attack?“ Other women who have come forward with alleged stories of sexual assault and rape have spoken out against the treatment of Ms Argento.
While Argento was giving an interview about the assault accusations, journalist Mario Adinolfi tweeted the actress was attempting to “justify high-society prostitution”.
The 42-year-old said she had temporarily moved to the German capital of Berlin to escape the “climate of tension” in her homeland.
