ASIA ARGENTO, BAD GIRL


Daughter of famed Giallo/horror filmmaker, Dario, Asia Argento has hit the news in a big way of late, coming under fire for besmirching the #MeToo movement with allegations of her own. No stranger to controversy, she was also Anthony Bourdain's main squeeze when he decided that life sucked and off'd himself.



Miss Argento, married, divorced, and with two children continues to foster her bad girl image by not taking any sh*t from anybody, including lashing out at venerable French actress Catherine Deneuve for her criticism of the movement that Argento is so closely associated with.



In the meantime, Asia, always the charming Italian sophisticate, never passes up an opportunity to emphasize her point.
