Uma Thurman has posted about the Kill Bill car crash cover up, and thanks Quentin Tarantino for his help in retrieving key footage.

Over the weekend, a piece in the New York Times detailed Uma Thurman’s account of harassment from Harvey Weinstein, and as if that wasn’t enough, a further unpleasant story about a reported cover up of an accident on the set of Kill Bill.

This was in reference to a car crash that took place on the production, after Thurman had expressed concerns over the safety of the vehicle, and said that she didn’t want to drive it. As a consequence of the ensuing accident, Thurman suffered permanent damage to her knees and neck.

Thurman has now taken to her Instagram account to give more details, ultimately praising writer/director Quentin Tarantino for giving her the footage from the incident.

Here’s her post…

i post this clip to memorialize it%u2019s full exposure in the nyt by Maureen Dowd. the circumstances of this event were negligent to the point of criminality. i do not believe though with 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. 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. 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.

Thurman, as you can see, reserves her criticism for producers Harvey Weinstein, Lawrence Bender and E Bennett Walsh, neither of whom have commented on the incident, or Thurman’s allegations.

Tarantino, for his part, has told Deadline that he was happy to get the footage for Thurman, and “we had to go through storage facilities, pulling out boxes” to get it.
