Filmmaker has pushed back after actress Rosanna Arquette slammed his use of the N-word in his films as 'racist and creepy.'
The two-time Oscar-winner, 62, in a statement to the Daily Mail, implied that the 66-year-old actress made the remarks as a means of clout chasing.
Tarantino made reference to the wave of media coverage the comments from Arquette received in his reply.
He said, 'Dear Rosanna, I hope the publicity you’re getting from 132 different media outlets writing your name and printing your picture was worth disrespecting me and a film I remember quite clearly you were thrilled to be a part of?'
Tarantino was critical of Arquette - who played the role of drug dealer Lance's (Eric Stoltz) wife Jody in the 1994 movie - for slamming the motion picture more than three decades after its release.
'Do you feel this way now? Very possibly' Tarantino said. 'After I gave you a job, and you took the money, to trash it for what I suspect is very cynical reasons, shows a decided lack of class, no less honor.'
