The actor claimed that the assault took place in a California hotel room in 2013, according to the report. The newspaper obtained documents sent between lawyers for Argento and the accuser that laid out a payment schedule. Argento, now 42, played a prominent role in the downfall of Weinstein, the former head of Miramax. In October of last year, The New Yorker published allegations by Argento that Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her in 1997. Argento added that she occasionally had consensual sexual encounters with Weinstein over the years, because she felt she "had to" and "didn't want to anger him."
