It didn’t take long for Tarantino to issue an official statement of his own, formally apologizing to Geimer for his upsetting comments.
So, Ms. Geimer, I was ignorant, and insensitive, and above all, incorrect.
In 2003, while promoting Kill Bill, Quentin Tarantino appeared on Howard Stern’s radio show, where he effectively blamed Roman Polanski rape victim Samantha Geimer by stating that she “wanted to have it” with the exiled Polish director.
When Howard brought up Polanski, I incorrectly played devil’s advocate in the debate for the sake of being provocative.
