Quentin Tarantino Police Boycott: Weinstein Co. Breaks Silence (Exclusive)


By Tatiana Siegel, Oct 02, 2015 Hollywood Reporter

After keeping mum for more than a week, The Weinstein Co. is breaking its silence on the spiraling controversy surrounding Quentin Tarantino’s comments about police brutality.

“The Weinstein Co. has a long-standing relationship and friendship with Quentin and has a tremendous amount of respect for him as a filmmaker," a Weinstein Co. representative told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement. "We don't speak for Quentin; he can and should be allowed to speak for himself."

Just as TWC issued its statement, Tarantino addressed the controversy for the first time, telling the Los Angeles Times that he wouldn't be intimidated by the growing number of police boycotts aimed at him. "Instead of dealing with the incidents of police brutality that those people were bringing up, instead of examining the problem of police brutality in this country, better they single me out," he said. "And their message is very clear. It’s to shut me down. It’s to discredit me. It is to intimidate me. It is to shut my mouth, and even more important than that, it is to send a message out to any other prominent person that might feel the need to join that side of the argument."
