In a statement sent to numerous publications including Deadline, Tarantino said: “I hope the publicity you’re getting from 132 different media outlets writing your name and printing your picture was worth disrespecting me and a film I remember quite clearly you were thrilled to be a part of? … After I gave you a job, and you took the money, to trash it for what I suspect is very cynical reasons shows a decided lack of class, no less honour.”
Tarantino added: “There is supposed to be an esprit de corps between artistic colleagues. But it would appear the objective was accomplished.”
Tarantino was responding to
Arquette’s distaste for his use of the N-word in Pulp Fiction, saying in an interview with the Sunday Times: “I cannot stand that [Tarantino] has been given a hall pass. It’s not art, it’s just racist and creepy.”
