“By no means Heard The Tales That Later Got here Out At All” – Deadline

Quentin Tarantino made 9 movies with Harvey Weinstein. Wanting again, he claims he didn’t get all the image of his wrongdoings.

On tour selling his new e-book, Cinema Hypothesis, Tarantino informed HBO’s Chris Wallace that he heard tales, however not all of them.

“I’d by no means heard the tales that later got here out in any respect,” Tarantino informed Wallace. “I heard the identical tales that everyone had heard. What I want I had accomplished was discuss to Harvey about it and say, ‘Harvey, you’ll be able to’t do that.’ To inform you the reality, I chalked it as much as a ‘Mad Males’-era model of the boss chasing the secretary across the desk. I’m not saying that’s okay. That’s how I heard it … in that class. There was by no means any discuss of rape or something like that.

“The rationale I didn’t [say something to Weinstein] was as a result of that’s an actual onerous dialog to have,” Tarantino admitted. “I felt it was pathetic. I felt what he was doing was pathetic and I didn’t wish to cope with his pathetic-ness.”

Tarantino mentioned he didn’t notice how severe Weinstein’s misconduct was.

“I didn’t assume it was, ‘Okay, you do that for me otherwise you’re not going to get this film.’ I by no means heard any actresses say something like that,” Tarantino added. “It was simply, you already know, ‘Don’t get at the back of a limo with him.’ It was straightforward to compartmentalize that to a point. Anyway, I really feel dangerous about … what I really feel dangerous about is I really feel dangerous that I didn’t have a man-to-man discuss with him about it.”

Weinstein is now on trial in Los Angeles for allegedly sexually assaulting 4 weomen. He’s aleady serving a 23-year sentence for rape and sexual assault fees in New York.
