Asia Argento closed out her 2018 Cannes Film Festival experience with a powerful speech about Harvey Weinstein.

On Saturday, while on-stage presenting with director Ava DuVernay at the festival’s closing ceremony, Argento spoke of her past Cannes experiences, telling the audience that Weinstein — who’s been hit with accusations of sexual harassment and assault from more than a dozen women, including Argento — had previously raped her there.

“In 1997, I was raped by Harvey Weinstein here at Cannes,” Argento bravely said into the microphone. “I was 21 years old. This festival was his hunting ground. I want to make a prediction: Harvey Weinstein will never be welcomed here ever again. He will live in disgrace, shunned by a film community that once embraced him and covered up for his crimes.” Read more…

That glorious feeling of ditching your high heels and sinking into the carpet with your bare feet? Celebrities yearn for it too.

Some even act on it, like Kristen Stewart, who ditched her heels on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet to march up the steps in her bare feet.

Stewart ditched her Christian Louboutins after posing for media at the screening of Spike Lee’s Blackkklansman at Palais des Festivals on May 14.

It was a controversial move, as Cannes is known for a”no flats” rule for the red carpet — a dress code that undeniably affects more women than men. Read more…
