Tarantino has always been fairly upfront and public with his using his movies to indulge his foot fetish. From Dusk to Dawn is particularly egregious, but I'm pretty sure Selma Hayek knew what she was getting into.

Which I guess is better than sexual harassment, but ehhhh

Salma Hayek has talked about how Frida was a passion project for her, but Harvey Weinstein forced her to do a lesbian nude scene to get it funded. She said that she didn’t mind being with another woman onscreen, but the fact that she was doing it specifically for Weinstein grossed her out.

Uma Thurman recently did a tell-all interview that was partly about Weinstein (who was EP on Kill Bill) but also Tarantino didn't come out of it smelling like a rose either. The gist of it is that when they did that promo where she was driving a car and talking into the camera, he made her actually drive a car, while talking into a camera instead of focusing on driving, and she said she didn't want to and it was a bad idea, and he made her do it anyway, and the car crashed and she's still hurt from it

Tarantino isn't a rapist or groper (as far as we know) but it was still a huge dick move

e: Weinstein is the primary issue here of course -- IIRC he made multiple unwanted sexual advances on her and threatened to torpedo her career when she confronted him about it, y'know, standard procedure for him

I believe she also says that the footage of the crash was deliberately kept from her by the studio because it would have helped her insurance claim/put them at risk of litigation? And she only ended up getting it because Tarantino literally made a copy and gave it to her in an attempt to apologize to her?

Yeah, 15 years later or something.

Hollywood is a place where the directors and studio execs do whatever hosed up poo poo they want to even the most famous actresses, it seems.

edit: I mean I always knew it was a meat grinder for young unknown actresses but recent stuff surprised me since I thought someone like Uma Thurman would be able to refuse that poo poo but nope, still a woman in Hollywood.

That cartoon was from 2014, but the point still stands. Rall's response to a law that clarifies that "Oops, it must have slipped in" in not a valid legal defense." poo poo, the joke is literally perfidious college woman trick an innocent men into rape.

Uma Thurman wasn’t exactly a huge star at that point. After Batman and Robin, she was probably a bit desperate to be taken seriously again.

"They knew what they were getting into" is a pretty bad defense of harassment in the entertainment industry, where powerful people can make or break careers, but it's one that's been rolled out on the regular for far more egregious stuff than that.
I was saying "She knew what she was getting into" more in the sense that the whiskey footjob scene was probably in the script... But then I remembered that Maria Schneider didn't know about the butter scene and felt violated, and didn't realize she was "allowed" to refuse.

The Great Twist
For those who want a refresher:

quote:

Mike Lester, editorial cartoonist for the Rome (Ga.) News-Tribune, was arrested and briefly jailed following on misdemeanor charges of battery and interfering with a 911 call stemming from a domestic dispute late Thursday night, according to the News-Tribune. Lester was released on bail Friday.

The 54-year-old Lester was arrested at his home after police officers arrived to find Lester?s wife, Regan, waiting outside with a minor wound on her elbow. The Web site RomeNewswire.com reported that Lester admitted that “he had been drinking on Broad Street and when he returned home he thought his wife was dressed to go out, which made him angry because she had been going out a lot lately. Regan Lester told police she had no intention of leaving the home.

“A struggle between the two individuals followed,” the story continued, “during which Michael Lester grabbed his wife and pushed her into a wall, causing a window in the front door to be broken. Regan Lester?s elbow was cut by the glass in the window.”

According to RomeNewswire, Lester told police that the struggle was the result of him trying to take his wife’s car keys away, because he thought she was trying to leave and she has a suspended license. He later admitted to police that he had grabbed his wife and thrown her cell phone out the door when she tried to call the police. Regan Lester later dialed 911 from her home phone.

Lester’s work is nationally syndicated by United Features and also appears on Cagle.com.
