Tarantino is ‘stunned and heartbroken’ at Weinstein

The Oscar-winning director has broken his silence on the news that his friend of “25 years” stands accused of sexually harassing a number of female employees over a period of almost three decades. Quentin made all of his movies with either Miramax or The Weinstein Company - from which Harvey was recently fired - and said he needs “a few more days” to process his emotions before he gives a more indepth public statement. His statement, which was posted on Twitter by actress Amber Tamblyn on Thursday (12.10.17), read: “For the last week I’ve been stunned and heartbroken about the revelations that have come to light about my friend for 25 years Harvey Weinstein. I need a few more days to process my pain, emotions, anger and memory and then I will speak publicly about it.” Amber, 34, said in a tweet prior to posting the statement that she’d had a “long dinner” with the ‘Pulp Fiction’ director the night before, where they discussed the disgraced producer. She wrote: “Last night I had a long dinner with my friend Quentin Tarantino. He has asked me to share a statement with you regarding Harvey Weinstein.” Meanwhile, the 65-year-old producer - whose alleged actions were exposed to the public in a New York Times article, which claimed he had paid off eight of the women to keep their allegations quiet - has denied many of the claims made against him, but recently revealed he is “trying his best” to “get help”. He said: “Guys I’m not doing OK but I’m trying I’ve got to get help. I’m hanging in - I’m trying my best.”
