Asia Argento, the actress whose rape allegations against Harvey Weinstein helped trigger the #MeToo movement, has paid the price for her bravery. Argento accuses Cohen of drugging and raping her during the filming of “xXx” in 2002. Cohen has denied the accusation, but faces other sexual assault claims, including by his own daughter. Despite the whirlwind it caused, Argento has no regrets about speaking out against Weinstein. Weinstein was found guilty in 2020 of dozens of charges of rape and sexual assault and sentenced to 23 years in prison.
