Asia Argento: producer who brought me to H. Weinstein's room SAME one Damon/Crowe vouched for
In Asia Argento's statement to the New Yorker about her experience with Harvey Weinstein, she says that in 1997 a producer invited her to a "Miramax party" at a hotel in the French Riviera. The producer allegedly brought her to Harvey Weinstein's room, which was empty but for Harvey - the party invitation had been a ruse. When she asked the producer about the party, he allegedly replied that they were just early, and then left her alone with Weinstein, who would in the same evening allegedly force himself on her. According to the New Yorker, the producer in question, who wasn't named in the piece, denies bringing Asia to Weinstein's room that night.
Who is this producer? According to her, Fabrizio Lombardo. The same guy Weinstein asked Matt Damon and Russell Crowe to vouch for as a legitimate professional to a reporter (and not a guy who brought women to Weinstein). Damon says Weinstein only told him the reporter was writing "a negative piece", and to say what his experience working with the producer was. The actor apparently did not ask for additional details. Asia Argento claims "everybody knows" about Lombardo.
NEW: Sharon Waxman just wrote an updated story on Lombardo, with another woman coming forward against him, and explains further about her previous attempt to write a story on him.
Fabrizio Lombardo brought me to Weinstein's room when I was 21 in '97. He told me it was a Miramax party. Only Harvey was there.

When I started speaking to Farrow, I received creepy, intimidating text msgs by this alleged Italian producer (named in the Damon scandal)

this is vile and criminal. expose all of these abusers.
that's an interesting pr strategy
I'm so sick of people treating Matt Damon like some doe-eyed, well-intentioned dufus.
fuck matt damon and russell crowe! i should have known better than to cape for white men
Damon making sure not to touch the Harvey allegations while on the record with Waxman is no proof he wasn't aware of what the actual goal of his phone call was.
waxman just didn't want to get in trouble for involving matt's name without concrete proof.
this was enough evidence to convince me.
I'm getting so tired and burned out on these stories the past few weeks. It's good that they're coming out, but this constant stream of horrible, violent men and the sheer number of vulnerable people they've victimized is painful.
Don’t talk to me or my daughters ever again
- Matt Damon and every other scumbag faux feminist response
In Asia's case it sounds like Fabio is trying to get his lat laugh.
Both are super scary.
