“I was raped by Harvey Weinstein in Cannes in 1997. I was 21-years-old. This festival was his hunting ground. I’m going to make a prediction: Harvey Weinstein will never be welcomed here again. He will never disgrace the community that once embraced him and covered up for his crimes,” she told the crowd.

“Even tonight there are those that still need to be held accountable for his behavior. You do not belong in this industry. You know who you are. We are not going to allow you to get away with it any longer.”

Asia was among some of the first women to come forward with allegations of rape against the producer last year, which set off massive global movements about sexual harassment and gender inequality in Hollywood and beyond.

Harvey has denied the assault via spokesperson.

The Late Late Show host, who emceed for the evening, continuously joked about the allegations to a mixed response from the crowd, and later received scathing responses on Twitter from Rose McGowan and Asia Argento.

“Right here in L.A., it’s so beautiful Harvey Weinstein has already asked tonight up to his hotel to give him a massage,” he said to the crowd at one point.

“It has been weird this week watching Harvey Weinstein in hot water. Ask any of the women who watched him take a bath, its weird watching Harvey Weinstein in hot water,” he added in another joke.

Upon receiving backlash, James issued a statement on his Twitter on Sunday (October 15).

“To be clear, sexual assault is no laughing matter. I was not trying to make light of Harvey’s inexcusable behavior,” he wrote. “but to shame him, the abuser, not his victims. I am truly sorry for anyone offended, that was never my intention.”
