Quentin Tarantino has stated that he was ‘aware’ of some of Harvey Weinstein’s alleged sexual misbehavior with women.
The director has known Weinstein for 25 years, and the disgraced producer has worked on all of Tarantino’s projects since Pulp Fiction.
However, the 54-year-old has now admitted that he ‘knew enough to do more than [he] did.’
‘I knew enough to do more than I did,’ Tarantino said. There was more to it than just the usual rumor and gossip. It wasn’t a secondhand item. I was aware that he had done a few of these things.
Are Quentin Tarantino and Harvey Weinstein friends?
‘I wish I had taken responsibility for what I heard. If I had done the work I should have done then, I would have had to not work with him.’
Surprisingly, the Kill Bill director was told by his then-girlfriend Mira Sorvino that Weinstein had sexually harassed her, but he said the mogul was merely in love with her.
Tarantino was also aware of another actress who said she had been sexually harassed, and he was aware that Rose McGowan had reached a settlement with Weinstein over an incident.
Despite this, Tarantino claims he was unaware of a ‘wider pattern’ of misbehavior.
