Asia Argento to Cannes: Harvey Weinstein Raped Me and Some of You Knew

The 2018 Cannes Film Festival came to a close, and Asia Argento delivered an incredible and jaw-dropping speech.


She did not mince words when it came to Harvey Weinstein, whom she accuses of rape.


See her powerful speech in the accompanying video and feel the weight of her words.


Asia argento cannes speech 2018


"I have a few words to say," Asia"s speech begins.


Reportedly, the organizers did not know what she planned to say in her speech.


"In 1997, I was raped by Harvey Weinstein, here at Cannes. I was 21 years old."


Asia was one of the very first women to come forward and accuse him of sexual assault.


"This festival was his hunting ground."


According to the accusations — which are numerous — he had a number of hunting grounds.



Asia continues:


"I want to make a prediction."


This is her hope for the future, and she"s displaying an astounding degree of optimism that tomorrow will be better than yesterday.


"Harvey Weinstein will never be welcomed here ever again."


The entire world hopes that, at the very least.


Though we should consider, for a moment, how low the bar is set when a woman who accuses a man of one of the most evil deeds possible…


… To be speaking about him facing social and professional consequences instead of expressing the hope that he will spend the rest of his life beyond bars.



Asia continues to describe a better future.


"He will live in disgrace."


And then come the professional consequences:


"Shunned by a film community that once embraced him."


And she"s not afraid to call out the people who were complicit.


"… And covered up for his crimes."


Then she really turns up the heat.


"And even tonight, sitting among you, there are those who still have to be held accountable for their conduct towards women."



She continues:


"For a behavior that does not belong in this industry — does not belong in any industry or workplace."


She is absolutely right.


"You know who you are."


We would point out that perhaps some of them do not know who they are. There are plenty of sexual predators in the world who never realized that their actions have left a trail of suffering behind them.


Perhaps the #MeToo movement has made them realize the harm that they"ve done.


"But most importantly, we know who you are."


That is important, yes.


"And we"re not going to allow you to get away with it any longer."


Asia argento and ava duvernay at cannes 2018


Asia"s speech was met with well-deserved applause.


Sadly, there is a long way to go before people can even hope to see justice for all of the horrible crimes committed within the entertainment industry and beyond.


What"s worse is that some people are already talking about "comebacks."


Surely we can all agree that rapists belong behind bars at the very least.


Surely we can also agree that serial harassers and abusers don"t deserve a "comeback" in an industry that they once treated as a hunting ground.


Harvey Weinstein has always denied the many, many allegations against him, and it is possible that thanks to the passage of time and the woeful inadequacy of the legal system, he will never see the inside of a prison cell.


But perhaps #MeToo and #TimesUp can create a better future. One without sex monsters.


That, we think, is what has Asia Argento filled with optimism.

Farrah Abraham Flashes Vagina at Cannes, Still Really Loves Attention

There was a time the Cannes Film Festival was the international community’s most essential gathering of cinematic talents.


These days, however – like our cultural landscape itself – it’s mostly populated by reality stars and professional pretty people.



Which is why where Martin Scorsese or Werner Herzog might once have dominated Cannes-related headlines, now it’s Farrah Abraham and her famous vagina capturing all the attention.


Yes, Farrah stepped out on the red carpet with her genitals in plain view of photographers last night.


And while Farrah’s red carpet mishap is being widely reported as a “wardrobe malfunction,” those who have followed her career closely suspect that the high-profile vadge-flash took place according to plan.


And why was Farrah in attendance at the world’s most famous film festival?


We may never know for sure, but while she was on hand, the former Teen Mom OG star opened up to reporters about her ongoing legal battle with MTV.



As you may recall Farrah was fired by the network that made her famous as a result of her refusal to quit performing in live-streaming online sex shows.


Not surprisingly, Farrah is now claiming victory and insisting that MTV and parent company Viacom played right into her hands.


“I’m happy Viacom wanted to settle and I’m thrilled with the outcome,” Abraham told People magazine.


“I did the right thing by filing a lawsuit. I honestly felt that if I didn’t stand firm I would have regretted it my entire life and I would have thought my entire life ‘I should have sued!’”


Farrah went on to basically describe herself as the Martin Luther King of basic cable:



“Reality TV is a place where I’ve been very successful and have made history multiple times for social change, justice, and showing where society needs to be challenged and changed,” she continued. 


“My recent work with MTV ended on the highest note, and it’s a confirmation to me that I’ve been able to impact production and the network for the better, and I hope that they continue with their willingness to listen to creators, developers, and leaders to improve the exhausted forms of shows and adapt to the next levels.”


Clearly, Farrah is just regurgitating scripted comments here.


You can tell the remarks didn’t originate in her brain because one can read them and actually make some sense of what Farrah is trying to say.


We suppose that’s progress, in a way.


Going forward, we assume she’ll just start holding the mic up to her vagina and letting it do all the talking.


Watch Teen Mom OG online to relive Farrah’s time as one of reality TV’s most bonkers stars.

Bella Hadid and The Weeknd: Spotted Kissing at Cannes!

Less than a month after The Weeknd and Bella Hadid were spotted cuddling at Coachella, it looks like these “exes” are at it again.


This time, they’re at a very different festival.


But the PDA — and their apparent inability to keep their hands off of each other, even in public — is the same. Take a look!



The Cannes Film Festival is about more than just movies, folks.


Sometimes, love is in the air. Old loves included.


The Weeknd and Bella Hadid broke things off before he ever started dating Selena Gomez.


But since he and Selena went their separate ways last year, fans have believed that it’s only a matter of time until he and Bella reunite.


(The fact that Selena went back to her old ex certainly didn’t do anything to discourage that kind of thinking)


And it looks like those expectations are being met.



Fans snapped a short video of The Weeknd and Bella Hadid at the Cannes Film Festival.


Now, the video is hazy — it’s not like it was filmed in a recording studio.


In it, The Weeknd and Bella appear to exchange a polite greeting that is thoroughly appropriate for the European festival.


But it sure looks intimate.


What’s more, onlookers revealed that the two seemed inseparable and couldn’t seem to keep their hands off of one another.


Someone’s hand was reportedly almost always on the other’s back or shoulder or arm.


That speeks to a certain level of comfort with each other. Are they getting back together?



It has been 18 months since their breakup, but a lot has changed since then.


Notably, The Weeknd dated and eventually broke up with Selena Gomez.


Back in March, he dropped new, sad music and many wondered which songs were about Selena … and which were about Bella.


it sounds safe to say that his song that seemed to be hinting that he would have given Selena his kidney when she needed a transplant was, you know, about Selena.


But was the song that seemed to indicate that he was dtf (down to “have sex”) with an ex if she only asked about Bella?


Recent signs point to yes.



Still, sometimes exes will hook up or just be really, really friendly with each other at parties but know that, for whatever personal reasons, they shouldn’t engage in a relationship with each other.


Some wonder if this Cannes Film Festival sighting and if the previous sightings of the two making out at Coachella are just that.


Are The Weeknd and Bella just really comfortable with each other? Perhaps even in love — but definitely not dating?


Or are they back together without announcing it yet?


Perhaps only they know for sure.


But it is also possible that the two are working their way towards dating agian without rushing into anything.



When Bella and The Weeknd broke up a year and a half ago, sources revealed that they still had a lot of love for each other.


That much is very clear.


But the couple has recently denied that they’re back together.


Many fans still expect — and even hope — that the two will start dating again.

Scott Disick: Spotted with WHOM in Cannes?!?

The Cannes Film Festival has been taking place over the last several days in France.


Of all the impressive movies included in this popular event, however, there’s only been one must-see attraction that’s drawn the attention of the Internet:


Scott Disick’s love life.



Very much NOT with Kourtney Kardashian at the moment, Disick didn’t enter a film in the festival.


But it looks and sounds as if he’s been entering his you-know-what into the private parts of various females over and over again while on vacation in Cannes.


Last Monday, Disick was spotted out and about in this beautiful city with Bella Thorne, as witnesses say the stars got into the same car at one point and headed to a hotel.


(And we all know what people do inside hotel rooms, don’t we?!?)


Fresh off a fling with Ella Ross, the assumption was that Disick made his outing with Thorne public in order to get back at his three-time baby mama.


Kourtney, of course, is reportedly back to banging Younes Bendjima.



“Scott bringing Bella is 100 percent to piss Kourtney off,” an insider told E! News last week, adding:


“It’s a very ‘Let’s see how it makes you feel’ kind of thing. It’s immature but that’s Scott.”


It sure is.


And Scott wasn’t content with merely sticking it to Thorne.


Sources have also claimed he spent naked time in Cannes with Chloe Bartoli, the same ex-girlfriend with whom Disick canoodled in France two summers ago, forcing Kardashian to finally dump his sorry rear end.


In response to Disick bringing her abroad and then getting with another broad, Thorne sort of put Disick on blast via Twitter and got the heck away from him.




Bella


So that brings us to Disick’s latest alleged conquest.


Pictures have surfaced on E! News and Us Weekly of Disick hanging out on a board with Sofia Richie.


In these images, the 34-year old reality star is wearing a gray T-shirt and red shorts, while the 18-year old model is rocking an orange top and white pants.


It’s worth noting perhaps that Bartoli was seen on board this same yacht with Disick and Richie, so it’s possible Scott and Sofia are just pals.


It’s also possible Disick was hoping for a threesome.


One of the aforementioned pictures features Disick holding Richie in the air with two hands, as if she’s the bride and he’s the groom and they are about to enter a bedroom for the first time as a married couple.



Richie is the daughter of singer Lionel Richie and younger sister of TV star Nicole Richie.


She famously dated Justin Bieber for six weeks last summer, which is what brings this chatter full circle:


Kourtney is rumored to have slept with Bieber on multiple occasions, which makes it very easy to believe that Disick is seeking the ultimate revenge here by getting busy with Richie himself.


Not that we can say for certain if anything has taken place between Scott and Sofia behind closed doors.


“Scott’s lifestyle has become out of control,” a source told Us Weekly last week.


“His friends are all worried for him and trying to calm him down. His friends begged him not to go to Cannes.”



On Sunday night’s episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, meanwhile, Kourtney acknowledged that life without Disick has been an adjustment.


“I feel like Scott and I were very co-dependent and I just would always bounce every idea off of him,” she explained to Kim and Khloe, continuing as follows:


“Also, I’m just living a different life now where doing more for myself is an option and now that I am able to make my own decisions, I want to make the best decisions.”


That’s fair.


The best decision she ever made, of course, was to break up with Disick.
