Gilliam said he was “tired, as a white male, of being blamed for everything that is wrong with the world”.
The director Terry Gilliam has invited renewed backlash after repeating his claim that he is a “black lesbian in transition”, assailing the #MeToo movement as a “witch-hunt” and asserting that some of Harvey Weinstein’s alleged victims are “adults who made choices”.
The director saved his most inflammatory comments for Weinstein, the former movie producer who faces trial on criminal sexual assault charges in New York next week.
Gilliam was essentially repeating comments he made in 2018, at a film festival in the Czech Republic.
