Uma Thurman Blames Harvey Weinstein

Over the weekend, a piece on The New York Times revealed why actress Uma Thurman was so angry at producer Harvey Weinstein. Beside his sexual assault on Thurman, it turns out that Weinstein was also responsible for Thurman’s permanent physical damage on the set of Kill Bill. What’s worse, Weinstein and other producers covered up the incident.

Thurman shared the footage of the car crash she endured on the set of Kill Bill. In the post she says that the “circumstances of this event were negligent to the point of criminality.

i post this clip to memorialize it’s full exposure in the nyt by Maureen Dowd. the circumstances of this event were negligent to the point of criminality. i do not believe though with malicious intent. Quentin Tarantino, was deeply regretful and remains remorseful about this sorry event, and gave me the footage years later so i could expose it and let it see the light of day, regardless of it most likely being an event for which justice will never be possible. he also did so with full knowledge it could cause him personal harm, and i am proud of him for doing the right thing and for his courage. THE COVER UP after the fact is UNFORGIVABLE. for this i hold Lawrence Bender, E. Bennett Walsh, and the notorious Harvey Weinstein solely responsible. they lied, destroyed evidence, and continue to lie about the permanent harm they caused and then chose to suppress. the cover up did have malicious intent, and shame on these three for all eternity. CAA never sent anyone to Mexico. i hope they look after other clients more respectfully if they in fact want to do the job for which they take money with any decency.
