Quentin Tarantino on Harvey Weinstein Allegations: ‘I Knew Enough to Do More Than I Did’

Director Quentin Tarantino broke an extended silence Thursday on the sexual harassment and assault allegations surrounding his longtime friend and collaborator Harvey Weinstein, telling the New York Times he knew about the accusations and could have done more to prevent them. “I knew enough to do more than I did,” Tarantino, who rose to fame in the early 90s with a string of Miramax-produced indie films including Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, told the Times in an interview. “There was more to it than just the normal rumors, the normal gossip. It wasn’t secondhand. I knew he did a couple of these things.”

Tarantino mentioned several specific allegations he said he’d heard about Weinstein long before the Times first broke the story about decades of accusations against the movie mogul last week. The director said he’d heard about incidents with actress Mira Sorvino, whom Tarantino dated in the 90s, in which Weinstein allegedly massaged her against her will in a hotel room and once showed up at her apartment in the middle of the night.

Tarantino said his attitude at the time was that once he started dating Sorvino, Weinstein would respect it and leave her alone.

Tarantino also said he knew that actress Rose McGowan had reached a settlement with Weinstein over sexual misconduct claims.

Stfu you freakish egomaniac loser. Your entire industry needs shut down then bulldozed. Cowardly pu$$y.

Quentin Tarantino copies others movies. I guess he did not say anything because he did not have the talent others did and was worried he wouldn’t have the opportunity again to copy someone else’s movie.

What a cesspool Follywood is. Populated not by normal men but predators and weaklings with no god but the dollar.

[Terry Mross]

“I’ll say something now that it’s obvious Harvey can’t make anymore movies for me.”

There’s only one possible reason Sorvino would date Tarrantino. I suspect she did more with Weinstein that she admits

I’d like to know how many of these losers bashed Paterno during the whole Sandusky affair.

[bgill]

Tarantino knows of a lot more sickos and can do more by naming them.

[Sasparilla]

Maybe Bill Clinton’s enablers will step forward now.

To all the disgraces who are NOW coming out to condemn Weinstein: TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. YOU KNEW! AND YOU SAID NOTHING!

[Pravious]

I was talking to someone the other day who was wondering why a recent movie wasn’t doing well at the box office. I suggested it might be because great numbers of people these days find it objectionable to support the leftists in Hollywood by giving them our money.

As far as I’m concerned, Hollywood should be starved out of business - just like the NFL and mainstream media.

He owes John Woo a lot of money.

[MPJackal]

But he FEELS bad, so that is good enough? Isn’t that how the left works.

[dfwgator]

Now that they all have their “FU Money”....they can be “brave”.

[mcjordansc]

Maybe Bill Clinton’s enablers will step forward now.

Along with all the people who have no qualms about supporting our current president. I guess the women accusing him are all liars.

[BradyLS]

Exactly. Apes their movies. Apes their silence.

[Yaelle]

As Tim Conway Jr reminded me last night, this is the schmuck that thinks every cop is racist. Another shameful piece of scum who works in a stupid, thoughtless, amoral industry.

[billorites]

Bring out the gimp.

[csvset]

Gee, Quentin, it must have been agonizing, being a maggot that thrived on Weinstein’s offal. Die maggot.

[Go Gordon]

He knew enough to do more than doing nothing?

Here, for your edification, are the Certified Democrat Degenerates......the scum that vilify and destroy America's Judeo-Christian ethics and values in movies promoted as being "diverse, politically correct, and socially relevant."

FILMDOM'S CERTIFIED DEMOCRAT DEGENERATES
FINANCED BILL CLINTON'S LEWINSKY SEX MESS

According to FEC Info, an Internet Web site (www.tray.com) that tracks federal political contributions, 176 individual donors actually contributed $10,000 or more to the lewinsky-era Clinton Legal Expense Trust fund through Dec 1999. Another 21 donors gave $10,000 in the first six months of 2000.

Thanks to Hollyood's generosity, a total of more than $2.2 million was raised in six months, which was notably more than was collected in funding during the previous four years of his presidency—combined.

Hollywood producers and stars made up the bulk of the most generous givers. They included:

<><> Universal Studios tycoon Lew Wasserman and his wife, Edith, who have given $60,000;

<><>DreamWorks trio Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg, $20,000 each;

<><> producer Ron Burkle and his wife, Janet, $40,000;

<><> producers Peg and Bud Yorkin, $30,000;

<><> TV producer Norman Lear, $20,000.

Entertainment celebrities and executives giving $10,000 included:

<><> singers Tony Bennett and Barbra Streisand;

<><> actors Michael Douglas and Tom Hanks;

<><> director Ron Howard; producer Gail Zappa;

<><>Black Entertainment Television founder Robert L. Johnson.

When Bill Clinton was at the height of the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal, Hollywood was by his side, offering donations for his legal fees, and one significant donor was a man who is now going through his own sex scandal—Harvey Weinstein.

Billionaire Harvey Weinstein raised $1,422,683 for federal candidates and political entities between 1990-2016. That’s small potatoes for his 27 years of rank Democratism, sucking up to feminism and upholding so-called abortion rights as he rampaged and assaulted young women. Adds up to about $5300 a year. Something tells me there are a lot of cash payments off-the-record being paid. (hat tip outpostinmass2)

Crunching the numbers as outpost did does give us a sharper look at the political money game as played by the conniving Clintons.

Harvey also gave a bundle to the nefarious tax-exempt Clinton Foundation and perhaps to offshoots of the Clintons tax-free entities.

Did Harvey's donations to the C/F go to "do-good projects"? Or did they make a circuitous route? Maybe landing back into the Clintons eternal political scams?

========================================

<><> Did Harvey's company list these payments as "business expenses?"

<><> How did the Hollyood elite list payments to Clinton's sex defense fund on their tax returns?

<><>How did the "DreamWorks" trio, Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg, list their 60,000 dollars to Clinton's sex defense fund?
