There are literally hundreds – even thousands – of Harvey Weinstein reports on the internet; tales of harassment, molestation, assault and rape. It’s hard to keep track and as The New Yorker continued its tirade against the film titan – this time chronicling Weinstein’s alleged “army of spies” used to threaten and silence his victims – actress Asia Argento has simplified and condensed every allegation into a neat Google document.
Reading it, you become lost in the allegations – 18 of which are rape – and with every woman named (along with her vocation and the place and time of each reported assault across three decades), you get a feel for the magnitude of this monster’s reach. It leaves you a little numb but with one clear assertion: Harvey Weinstein should go to jail for a very long time.
Argento, as we know, makes the list and says she was assaulted by Weinstein when she was just 21-years-old. Just like so many of those before her – and those who would come after – Weinstein invited the young actress to a “hotel party along the French Riviera” but instead she was greeted by just him who then asked for a massage. When she reluctantly began, he “pulled her skirt up, forced her legs apart, and performed oral sex on her as she repeatedly told him to stop.” Read up on every accusation here.
