Pulp Fiction Star Blasts Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Racist’ Use of N-Word in Movies

Pulp Fiction star Rosanna Arquette recently criticized legendary director Quentin Tarantino over his repeated use of the n-word in movies, which she calls racist and creepy.

What did Rosanna Arquette say about Quentin Tarantino?

Speaking to The Times in a recent interview, Arquette opened up about her experience with Tarantino. Arquette briefly appeared in his classic 1994 film Pulp Fiction, as drug dealer Lance’s (Eric Stoltz) girlfriend, who shows up when Vincent Vega (John Travolta) arrives at their home with an overdosed Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman).

According to Arquette, the movie remains iconic, but she is “over” the use of the n-word, which is featured quite prominently throughout the movie.

“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 he [Tarantino] has been given a hall pass. It’s not art, it’s just racist and creepy,” said Arquette.

The star also says her experience with Pulp Fiction was not as pleasant due to her being denied a percentage at the box office success for the movie. Arquette said she’s the only actor to not be given a share of them, and that “everybody made money except me.”

She doesn’t blame Tarantino for this, though, but instead says it was due to an interaction with Harvey Weinstein, the film’s producer. She met in his hotel room in the 1990s for a meeting about the script and alleges that Weinstein was in a bathrobe, and tried to put her hands on him in the meeting.

“I was fortunate because I was not raped. But, boy, was it going there and I paid a price for saying no, and later I paid a price for telling the truth,” Arquette said.
