Uma Thurman Says #MeToo On Thanksgiving, Wants Harvey Weinstein To Suffer Slowly
“I’m glad it’s going slowly – you don’t deserve a bullet,” Actress Uma Thurman wrote on her Instagram, breaking silence on the disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.
The “Pulp Fiction” actress, in an Instagram post, poured her heart out and joined the #MeToo campaign against sexual assault.
“Happy Thanksgiving. 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,” she wrote.
Alongside the post, Thurman also posted a still photograph from her film Kill Bill: Volume 2. The scene from which this photograph is taken portrays Thurman in the character —Beatrix Kiddo who vows to go on a "rampage of revenge."
Thurman’s statement came weeks after she was approached by Access Hollywood at the premiere of “The Parison Woman” last month to comment on Weinstein.
“I don't have a tidy sound bite for you because I am not a child and I have learned that when I have spoken in anger, I usually regret the way I express myself. So I've been waiting to feel less angry, and when I'm ready, I'll say what I have to say,” she told Access Hollywood at the time.
Thurman has worked with Weinstein on various projects including “Pulp Fiction” and “Kill Bill.”
Weinstein has been accused of inappropriate behavior by several women in the past, including actress Ashley Judd and news anchor Lauren Sivan.
According to a Huff Post report, Lauren Sivan, who was working as a news anchor with a local cable channel in New York at the time when she was assaulted by Weinstein, said the experience left her shocked.
Even as everyone is talking about Weinstein, “Project Runway” star Kenley Collins too has come forward and claimed the Hollywood mogul had threatened her career.
She recollected how she was approached by the Weinstein Company in 2008 for an appearance on a show and was threatened when she refused to.
In an interview with Page Six in 2009, Collins said: “I was approached by Weinstein’s head producer of the show, Barbara Schneeweiss, to be on a two-hour all-star special and when I refused to do the show, because [they offered] no pay and [asked me to sign] a crazy contract, Schneeweiss reminded me that they ‘made me’ and can control any future opportunities I get.”
“I was hounded by one of Harvey’s book editors, Eila Mell, who needed my time for a ‘Project Runway’ book. When I refused to take part in the book, I was told that wouldn’t be a good idea because they could show me in a bad light. Sure enough, the book was published, an unflattering depiction of me was in it, and I never saw a dime,” she said at the time.
