#MeToo movement pioneer Asia Argento says naming Harvey Weinstein didn't help her
India Today
Asia Argento, who triggered #MeToo movement with her rape allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, says that the movement didn't help her life. In her autobiography, Anatomy of a Wild Heart, she makes many revelations.
Asia Argento, the actress whose rape allegations against Harvey Weinstein helped trigger the #MeToo movement, has paid the price for her bravery. "I can't say it helped my life very much," the 47-year-old told AFP. Argento's revelations four years ago that she had been raped by the US producer in 1997 at the age of 21 set off a wave of allegations across the film industry and far beyond.
"It became a tsunami," she said. "It didn't help me, it put me in a huge depression, but my conscience told me I had to tell the truth."
