X-ED! Asia Argento fired from 'X Factor Italy' amid sexual assault allegations

The producers of the show Sky Italia and Frantle Media Italia have reportedly decided to not include her on the live shows as a judge

Asia Argento has reportedly been fired from her position as a judge on 'X Factor Italy,' in wake of recent sexual assault allegations. The first seven episodes featuring Argento that have already been shot will be aired, including those featuring preliminary auditions that determine the final 12 contestants who would get to be on the show.

Once the live show begins, audiences will not see her. Keeping in mind the 12 contestants who won their spots out of 40,000 hopefuls, Sky Italia reportedly did not want to redo the whole process again. To cut Argento out completely would have required them to shoot the whole process all over again. 

 

Asia Argento attends the Closing Ceremony & screening of 'The Man Who Killed Don Quixote' during the 71st annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 19, 2018 in Cannes, France.
