Rosanna Arquette Criticizes Tarantino's N-Word Use

0:00It's March 7th, let's get into entertainment and celebrity news. Rosanna Arquette, who starred in Quentin Tarantino's 1994 hit Pulp Fiction, has spoken out against the director's repeated use of the inward in his movies. She calls Pulp Fiction iconic but says she's done with Esler, describing it as racist and creepy rather than artistic. Arquette, who played the wife of a drug dealer in the film, told a UK publication she hates how Tarantino keeps getting a passport across his whole career. His team is not commented yet on her remarks. She's not alone in her criticism. Spike Lee blasted Tarantino back in the 90s over Jackie Brown, saying the director was too infatuated with the word and shouldn't act like it. Trendy, Lee Daniels echoed that, more recently, claiming the slur belongs to black people and outsiders have no right to it. Tarantino faced heat for Django Unchained too, but defended himself at the Oscars by arguing it fits his honest characters from history.
