Uma Thurman has opened up to the New York Times about Harvey Weinstein’s attacks on her. What began as questionable behavior by Weinstein worsened over the course of years, ending with an assault in which he pushed her down, tried to expose himself, and acted generally physically abrasive. Shortly after the incident, Thurman said she confronted Weinstein about his behavior, and during the conversation Weinstein threatened her career. While Thurman was at work later on Miramax’s Kill Bill, she suffered a serious car accident on set, even after she told director Quentin Tarantino that she was uncomfortable with the stunt. With Weinstein’s abuses finally coming to light, Thurman recently brought her evidence to the police, hoping to get Tarantino to release the footage of her crash for the purposes of taking legal action against Weinstein, the film’s executive producer. Thurman also expressed remorse that she didn’t go public with her accusations sooner. “All these lambs walked into slaughter because they were convinced nobody rises to such a position who would do something illegal to you, but they do,” Thurman told the Times.
