Director Quentin Tarantino admitted in a New York Times interview that he knew about Harvey Weinstein's history of sexual harassment and chose to work with him anyway. Tarantino admitted, ?I knew enough to do more than I did. [...] I wish I had taken responsibility for what I heard." Tarantino formerly dated actress Mira Sorvino, who informed him of how Weinstein acted to her and other actresses. He was also aware of the settlement that Rose McGowan had reached with the producer. Weinstein produced many of Tarantino's films, including Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, the Kill Bill films, Inglourious Basterds, and The Hateful Eight. The director said, ?What I did was marginalize the incidents. Anything I say now will sound like a crappy excuse?Everyone who was close to Harvey had heard of at least one of those incidents. It was impossible they didn?t.?
