Asia Argento, 42

She was afraid he would “crush” her. Italian actress Argento (left), 42, told The New Yorker magazine that Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her in his French Riviera hotel room in 1997 — but she was too scared to speak out about it at the time.

“I know he has crushed a lot of people before,” said the actress, whose father is legendary horror director Dario Argento. “That’s why this story — in my case, it’s 20 years old, some of them are older — has never come out.”

Argento says she was just 21 when one of Weinstein’s producers invited her to a party at the Hotel du CapEden-Roc.

But when she got to the room, it was empty, save for Weinstein. At one point, he left — then reemerged in a bathrobe, holding a bottle of lotion.

“He asks me to give a massage. I was, like, ‘Look, man,, I am no f--king fool,’ ” Argento said. “But, looking back, I am a f--king fool. And I am still trying to come to grips with what happened.”

After the massage, Weinstein forcibly gave her oral sex — as she repeatedly told him to stop, the actressress said. Then she started faking enjoyment — thinkingking that was the only way to get him to stop.

“I was not willing,” Argento said. “I said, ‘No, no, no.’ . . . It’s twisted. A big fat man wanting to eat you. It’s a scary fairy tale.”

Argento, who starred in the Miramax-distributedbuted “B. Monkey,” said she had consensual relations with Weinstein over the next five years, believing he’dd ruin her career if she didn’t comply.

“When I see him, it makes me feel little and stupidid and weak,” she said. “After the rape, he won.”

Argento’s current boyfriend, chef-turned-TV per-sonality Anthony Bourdain, tweeted a message off support shortly after The New Yorker piece was published: “@AsiaArgento I am proud and honored to know you. You just did the hardest

thing in the world.”
