Asia Argento denounces another sexual abuse

The Italian actress and one of the figures of the movement #Me too, Asia Argento, accused American director Rob Cohen (“Fast and the Furious”) of abusing her in 2012. Argento, 45, was one of the first to denounce this behavior in the film world, accusing producer Harvey Weinstein, who is now in prison, in 1997 of raping her in 1997 when she was 21 years old.

About Cohen, he pointed out that he drugged her to abuse her. A spokesman for the director categorically denied this accusation, adding that because he had a friendly relationship, he found it “disturbing”. The actress’s new complaint is included in her book “Anatomy of a wild heart,” which is out in Italy today.

“This is my first time talking about Cohen”Argento said in an interview he gave to the newspaper The Corriere della Sera. “He abused me, so I had to drink GHB, he had a bottle”, he noted regarding a fast-acting anesthetic used in some cases of rape. “At the time, I really didn’t know what it was. I woke up naked in her bed in the morning”.

The event took place two decades ago during the filming of the aforementioned action movie, starring actor Vin Diesel.
