FINALLY! Uma Thurman Speaks Out About Cryptic Weinstein Message… Throws Tarantino Into The Mix

Uma Thurman has worked with the now disgraced Harvey Weinstein on multiple projects, so of course everyone was expecting her to say something. So far, she has stayed almost entirely mum.

In fact, she was really evasive about it.

Then, on Thanksgiving, Uma Thurman posted the following message:

“H A P P Y T H A N K S G I V I N G

I am grateful today, to be alive, for all those I love, and for all those who have the courage to stand up for others.I said I was angry recently, and I have a few reasons, #metoo, in case you couldn’t tell by the look on my face.I feel it’s important to take your time, be fair, be exact, so… Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! (Except you Harvey, and all your wicked conspirators – I’m glad it’s going slowly – you don’t deserve a bullet) -stay tuned
Uma Thurman”

That left more than a few scratching their heads.

What does that even mean?! She obviously hates this guy… So what is she hiding? Obviously there’s something big.

So…. what is she so angry about?

Well… she’s spoken out. And she’s partially angry at herself.

According to Daily Mail:

In her interview which was published on Saturday, she said she was angry because she felt her silence may have put other actresses in danger.

‘The complicated feeling I have about Harvey is how bad I feel about all the women that were attacked after I was.

We’ve said that a lot.

Just think of all of the victims that would have been spared if someone spoke out sooner.

Why didn’t they?

I commend Uma for acknowledging this instead of parading around like a BRAAAAVE woman (ahem Ashley Judd) for speaking out once it was too late for so many other victims who came afterwards.

She describes her own unsettling incidents with Weinstein:

In an article in The New York Times on Saturday, Thurman, 47, describes several incidents in which Weinstein forced himself on her in a London hotel room on one occasion and that he led her into a steam room in Paris in another incident but backed away when she asked him what he was doing.

She says the most aggressive encounter, which took place at London’s Savoy Hotel some time between 1994 and 2002, felt like ‘a bat to the head’.

‘It was such a bat to the head. He pushed me down. He tried to shove himself on me.

‘He tried to expose himself. He did all kinds of unpleasant things. But he didn’t actually put his back into it and force me.

Interesting. Was this always the case? Was Uma one of the few that fought back and got herself out of it?

So many women have said they just sat there “paralyzed with fear.”

Uma makes it sound like it wasn’t particularly difficult to get away from him.

Just saying.

‘You’re like an animal wriggling away, like a lizard. I was doing anything I could to get the train back on the track. My track. Not his track,’ she said.

Within hours of her claims becoming public, British police sources said they had launched investigations into two additional sexual assaults Weinstein is accused of.

It is not known if hers is one of the new claims they are probing.

Weinstein’s rep has sort of kind of denied the claims.

Weinstein, through his representative, said described the Paris incident as a ‘flirtatious exchange’ and admits ‘making a pass at her’ in London afterwards but says it was not violent or even physical.

The first Weinstein incident was in Paris after she had appeared in Pulp Fiction in 1994, which Miramax produced.

She and Weinstein got to know each other after the film was released. It won him and Miramax critical acclaim and was a standout role for Thurman.

It’s also one of my favorite films of all time… so UGH.

They had gotten to know each other well before the first inappropriate encounter in a Paris hotel she said. At the time, Weinstein was married to his wife Eve and she was with Ethan Hawke.

He took her into a steam room while she was dressed ‘in full leather’ and he in a robe. Weinstein became embarrassed when she asked him what he was doing.

‘I was standing there in my full black leather outfit — boots, pants, jacket. And it was so hot and I said, “This is ridiculous, what are you doing?” And he was getting very flustered and mad and he jumped up and ran out,’ she said.

OMG AAAAWWWWWKWARD.

The London incident followed, she said.

The day after that alleged attack, Thurman claims he sent her an ostentatious bouquet of yellow roses the next day with a note which said: ‘You have great instincts.’

OMG I WANT TO PUNCH THE LITTLE FREAK. SO GROSS. “You have great instincts… I’m a rapist.”

She returned to the hotel the next day to confront him, taking with her a male friend for protection.

Weinstein would not meet them in the bar so she went up to his room at his request, she recalled, and scolded him over what he had done.

‘If you do what you did to me to other people you will lose your career, your reputation and your family, I promise you,’ she said she told him.

Weinstein doesn’t deny this happened.

Weinstein appeared to corroborate her version of this conversation, telling The Times: ‘She very well could have said this.’

He acknowledged the Paris incident, saying that he ‘made a pass after misreading her signals’ but did not comment on the London claims – when he is alleged of throwing himself on her.

So she fought back and won.

But she’s upset at herself for not protecting other women who came after her.

It makes sense.

Interestingly, she also looped Quentin Tarantino, who she’s done some of her most notorious films with, into the mix:

On Saturday, Thurman also described a years-long dispute she has had with Quentin Tarantino, with whom she formed one of the most iconic actor/director duos, over an accidental car crash which happened when they were filming Kill Bill in 2002.

She alleges that Tarantino pressured her into performing a driving stunt in an unsafe care which she was reluctant to take the wheel of. She crashed while filming and injured her neck as a result.

Thurman has been trying for years to obtain raw footage of the crash from Miramax for years but they have always refused.

Tarantino eventually ‘atoned’ and gave it to her recently, and she is now trying to hold Miramax accountable for it. She shared the video with the Times on Saturday.

Tarantino’s representatives did not respond to DailyMail.com on Saturday and Miramax has not commented on the footage.

I guess she brought this up because it’s another example of Hollywood men pressuring actresses? I’m not sure. It CERTAINLY does not compare to Weinstein’s wrongdoings… though Tarantino is a heaping pile of garbage himself. (I do love his films, though!)
