Tarantino supported Thurman’s assertions that he had asked her to drive at a particular speed so that her hair would be blowing.
He claims he made doing Kill Bill with Miramax conditional on Weinstein apologising to Thurman. “I wasn’t giving Harvey the benefit of the doubt,” Tarantino said.
In a 2003 interview with Howard Stern, Tarantino said of Polanski: “He didn’t rape a 13-year-old.
“That was an issue of me asking the actress, can we do this to get a realistic effect,” he said.
