'More pigs will be revealed': Asia Argento on life after accusing Weinstein of rape

It has been six weeks since Asia Argento helped set off an avalanche that knocked down the most powerful man in Hollywood.

Since her public accusation of rape against Harvey Weinstein – Argento was among the first to make the allegation in an exposé published by the New Yorker – hundreds of women and some men have come forward with their own stories of workplace harassment and assault, from newsrooms in Washington to the corridors of power in Westminster.

The accusations have upended careers and broken taboos that once protected powerful and allegedly predatory men; Argento, an Italian actor and director, is keeping close track of all of them.

“The consciences are waking,” she told the Guardian. “Every time one of these pigs fall, it’s a badge of honour.”
