‘Pulp Fiction’ Star Rosanna Arquette Slams Quentin Tarantino’s N-Word Use

She may have starred in his film Pulp Fiction, but Rosanna Arquette has a bone to pick with filmmaker Quentin Tarantino. In a new interview, Arquette said it’s “racist and creepy” that Tarantino, a white man, feels entitled to use the N-word.

“[Pulp Fiction is] iconic, a great film on a lot of levels,” she told The Times as she looked back on playing Jody, the tongue-pierced wife of Eric Stoltz’s drug dealer character. “But personally I am over the use of the N-word — I hate it. I cannot stand that he [Tarantino] has been given a hall pass. It’s not art, it’s just racist and creepy.”
