Quentin Tarantino went off on Rosanna Arquette after she recently criticized his use of the N-word in his filmography.
The filmmaker accused the “Pulp Fiction” actor of “trashing” his 1994 film, in which she played the girlfriend of drug dealer Lance (Eric Stoltz), for “very cynical reasons.”
“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?” the director wrote in a heated statement obtained by multiple outlets.
“Do you feel this way now? Very possibly. But 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 honor,” he continued.
Claiming “there is supposed to be an esprit de corps between artistic colleagues,” he added, “but it would appear the objective was accomplished. Congratulations.”
