In case you missed it over the weekend, Uma Thurman finally revealed exactly why she was so angry on Saturday.
In a NY Times story written up by Maureen Dowd, the Pulp Fiction star described the circumstances around being assaulted and harassed by Harvey Weinstein but also something unexpected — a car crash on the set of Kill Bill.

Since the release of the story, many have been vocally criticizing director Quentin Tarantino for his negligence and the subsequent coverup.
But Uma posted the video of her scary moment (below) to her own Instagram on Monday and said she had already forgiven her friend, whom she did not believe had any “malicious intent”:
“Quentin Tarantino, was deeply regretful and remains remorseful about this sorry event, and gave me the footage years later so i could expose it and let it see the light of day, regardless of it most likely being an event for which justice will never be possible. he also did so with full knowledge it could cause him personal harm, and i am proud of him for doing the right thing and for his courage.”
She also mentioned specifically whom she does hold responsible:
“THE COVER UP after the fact is UNFORGIVABLE. for this i hold Lawrence Bender, E. Bennett Walsh, and the notorious Harvey Weinstein solely responsible. they lied, destroyed evidence, and continue to lie about the permanent harm they caused and then chose to suppress. the cover up did have malicious intent, and shame on these three for all eternity.”
Oh, and one more thing…
“CAA never sent anyone to Mexico. i hope they look after other clients more respectfully if they in fact want to do the job for which they take money with any decency.”
See the crash for yourself (below):
