Quentin Tarantino Responds To Rosanna Arquette Criticizing His Use Of The N-Word In His Movies
Quentin Tarantino responded to Rosanna Arquette criticizing his use of the N-word in his movies.
Arquette, who played Jody in Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction film, criticized Tarantino’s use of the N-word in an interview with The Times UK. While discussing Pulp Fiction, she said, “It’s iconic, a great film on a lot of levels. But personally I am over the use of the N-word — I hate it. I cannot stand that [Tarantino] has been given a hall pass. It’s not art, it’s just racist and creepy.”
“I’m the only person who didn’t get a back end [a share of the takings]. Everybody made money except me,” she added.
Tarantino responded to Arquette with a letter he shared with various media publications such as Variety.
He wrote:
Dear Rosanna,
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?
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.
There is supposed to be an esprit de corps between artistic colleagues. But it would appear the objective was accomplished.

Rosanna Arquette hates herself because she was NEVER an A-list actress and has had to settle for crumbs. Because of that, she's trying to leverage retard activism as a means of staying relevant.
By my limited, third-person understanding of these things, "everybody made money except me" is not as much a slam on the producer, director, or other leadership as it is on her agent, and her fame/infamy, at the time. Snarking about details in the production strikes me as just the kind of noise that 'artists' (especially Hollywood types) make to show they are smarter and more insightful than everyone else.
