A 2003 radio interview with Howard Stern in which Tarantino downplayed Roman Polanski’s sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl went viral, placing the Oscar winning filmmaker in an uncomfortable spotlight.
“She wanted to have it,” the “The Hateful Eight” creator said of Polanski’s victim
“Tarantino added: “Throwing the word ‘rape’ around is like throwing the word ‘racist’ around. It doesn’t apply to everything that people use it for.
”When radio co-host Robin Quivers said the girl didn’t want to have sex, Tarantino countered: “She wanted to have it.
”Quivers pointed out that the girl had been given drugs and alcohol, but Tarantino didn’t waver.“
Quivers noted that Polanski could have avoided trouble in the first place by staying away from the 13-year-old, who really didn’t have legal standing to say yes or no. “He likes girls,” Tarantino said.
Tarantino conceded that if the victim were his daughter in a similar situation, “I’d beat the hell out of him.” But the victim in the case of Polanski, he said, “was down to party with Roman.”
