Actress Rosanna Arquette recently criticized Quentin Tarantino (who directed her in PULP FICTION) for his habitual use of the N word as “racist and creepy”. Tarantino, for some reason I cannot fathom, took the time to pen an open letter to her that he never took the time to do on all the occasions Spike Lee said the same thing about him.

What I find especially galling in his response is the idea that she “took money” and so doesn’t have the right to her opinion or for her opinion to have changed over the years since they worked together.

I find it galling because Tarantino has admitted he knew all about Harvey Weinstein — “I knew enough to do more than I did,” he said back in 2017. His own ex-girlfriend, Mira Sorvino, had told him she’d been assaulted by Weinstein. Tarantino knew a collaborator Rose McGowan had reached a settlement with Weinstein sexually assaulting her, too. I’m sure he knew much, much more as others close to Weinstein have admitted about their own cognizance of his crimes.

And yet you know who still took Weinstein’s money over and over and over?

The guy who didn’t mind knowingly rubbing shoulders with a rapist apparently.

I wonder why he felt okay speaking up after the fact then. Apparently, the guy should’ve just shut his mouth and respected the “esprit de corps between artistic colleagues” he thinks Arquette betrayed.
