Asia Argento and daughter Anna Lou Castoldi They were talking about each other in the living room very correct. The actress and director was 25 years old at the time of dating her Morgan his firstborn was born. This is what they said in the episode broadcast on Saturday, September 16th.
The relationship between mother and daughter
Asia Argento said: “Anna Lou was very desired by both me and her father, she is a love child, but I didn’t know how young I was too. However, I have to say, this instinct towards her.” Anna Lou explained that thanks to her parents she always had a “free and open attitude” that enabled her to grow up without prejudice. Despite the difficulties, mother and daughter are really close. Asia Argento admitted: “Our life was not a walk in the park, not a walk in health, Anna Lou had to go through very strong traumas – also as a result of myself.” The daughter said:
I tried to help her as best I could. In difficult times we did everything together. I didn’t want to pull away because I knew she had to be close to me and I had to be close to her too, and in fact we always managed to find something fun. Even in difficult times, we strengthen each other. […] I go to therapy, my goal is to develop myself, to understand everything in order to develop myself further. There are things that definitely hurt me, but looking back, they are the building blocks of the person I am now. That makes me proud.
Asia Argento admitted that she felt guilty for her daughter, but also knows that this state of mind doesn’t help much: “Now that I’m better, I try to make her feel protective, me with facts to excuse.”

Asia Argento and Morgan
Asia Argento then spoke about her relationship with her ex-partner Morgan:
We have practically no relationship. Every now and then he sends me music. At night some of his songs come to me. I listen to them, he is always an interesting artist. Did he say he never stopped loving me? I wonder if a person like him is capable of love. If you love yourself too much or hate yourself too much, it is difficult to love others. I love him, I think he was the great love of my life. I’m a bit harsh because I met him when he was 27 and I know his great potential. I think it’s never too late to express it. In my opinion he should make music. As a fan, I would hope to not only listen to his music on my phone at night, but also have a good song on the charts.
Anna Lou Castoldi intervened to underline how her mother always pushed her to maintain the relationship with her father: “The way I see it, (she, editor’s note) feels love, but not in a romantic way .”
Anna Lou Castoldi responds to Morgan controversy
Morgan was recently at the center of controversy after he uttered homophobic words at one of his concerts. Daughter Anna Lou commented on the incident. However, he first made a premise: “It’s not easy for me to talk about dad because I miss him as a person. I love him and would like to see him more often. Our relationship is good, in the sense that we have nice conversations, it’s just that I would also like to have it more in my daily life. I don’t want to put it in a bad light because everyone is doing their best. I don’t hold any grudges.” Then he added:
As far as what happened, I basically know that he is not a homophobic, hateful or discriminatory person. But one thing I would like to say and that I regret is that it is typical in society to use certain words as an insult. It’s pretty vulgar, not so much for him, but for a lot of people. I am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and know what it feels like to be discriminated against for certain things. I’m not mad at him, I haven’t said anything to him because I know it’s more of an interim thing, but I know it shouldn’t be justified. People suffer from it. They are harsh words that people have heard while suffering violence.
He continued: “I have to say, I have never seen him make any homophobic comments about my relationship. He has hosted me and my ex-girlfriend many times. He’s not homophobic.” Despite the controversy, Morgan remained on the X Factor judging panel. Asia Argento was eliminated from the show due to the scandal that rocked her in 2018. In this regard, the actress commented:
Maybe because he’s a man. Perhaps the media scandal and rumors about me were viewed as more serious than what he said. I don’t know it. Two weights and two measures. Or just because it happened that way. Maybe I could tolerate this exclusion. What I am today is also thanks to this feeling of injustice. That’s fine.
Asia Argento, Anna Lou Castoldi and love
Finally, mother and daughter talked about love. Asia Argento has announced that she is single. The relationship with Michele Martignoni is over:
I’m single. Michele made me happy, but I can’t stand it. I have to be alone. I thought it would take time. You can tell I was happy, but not that happy. Or maybe I was too happy. The fact is that right now I need to continue to focus on my spiritual and sober journey and my children. I started drinking and using substances when I was 14. I’m learning who I was before, who I really am.
Anna Lou Castoldi also announced that her relationship with her friend was over: “I broke up too. After two years we lived together for a year and a half. We still love each other. Now it didn’t work out.” It was a matter of love. I continue to love her and believe in her too. Because of our lifestyle, it can’t work every day, but we appreciate each other infinitely. It’s not easy, I think about it. I felt bad about it, but I also felt bad during it. So what changes? At least now I can use it as an opportunity to reflect on myself.”
