Asia Argento has now experienced tangible career damage after allegations that she had sex with an underage actor.

The 42-year-old actress-director was fired as a judge on X Factor Italy, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Monday after the Italian press reported the move.

Argentos claims that she was sexually violated by Harvey Weinstein helped fuel the Me Too movement that took down predators in entertainment and beyond. But then she was accused by former movie co-star Jimmy Bennett of sexually assaulting him when he was 17. According to documents obtained by The New York Times , she agreed to pay him a $380,000 settlement. However, Argento denies the payment was related to sexual assault.
