Audio emerged yesterday of the “Pulp Fiction” director defending Roman Polanski in an interview with Howard Stern in 2007. You see, like Whoopi Goldberg, Polanski didn’t actually reape the 13-year-old girl:
"He didn’t rape a 13-year-old. It was statutory rape…he had sex with a minor. That’s not rape." what the actual fuck https://t.co/G24MmaWCKS

“She wanted to have it,” he told Stern:

Howard Stern, the “voice of reason” in Hollywood? Pretty much:
I had never heard this before, and it's really great what a hard time Howard and Robin gave Tarantino, and absolutely bonkers what he says about "13-year-old party girls" and that he believes Polanski's account and not the COURT TRANSCRIPTS.

When Howard Stern is the voice and reason and dignity… Tarantino insists what happened to Samantha Geimer happened because she wanted it. His evidence? “I know something about this…. I read Roman Polanski’s book.” https://t.co/WUy8dGFv2g

And it looks like some in Hollywood will finally call out Tarantino for this trash:
Listen to this. It tells you everything you need to know about why some men do not protect women and how fucked up their thinking is on basic issues of respect, compassion and concern. https://t.co/XJHbh0NGMN

Tarantino also ignored Daryl Hannah’s complaints when she was harassed by Harvey Weinstein.They kicked her off the press tour.Nobody helped her. And now Tarantino is going to make a movie about Polanski. Why is someone financing this? This is why Weinstein wasn’t stopped. $$$$ https://t.co/WlSVFEoVN4

Tranatino is making a movie on the life of Charles Manson and will make Polanski a “key character” in the film:

Tarantino had already been under fire for an interview he gave defending his treatment of Uma Thurman. He only choked and spit on her for the art, or something:
And here's Quentin Tarantino in a new interview responding to Uma Thurman's revelations. Apparently he needs to spit on and choke female actors because he can't trust their co-stars to do it right https://t.co/Pz9YVr4j7m

Because the shots were “tricky”:
Tarantino said of claims he personally performed some of the more controversial and violent actions in his films – including spitting on Uma Thurman’s face and choking her with a chain – that it was a matter of “taking responsibility” for tricky shots https://t.co/UJlwflfTuU
