While he was never accused of being part of Harvey Weinstein's massive record of sexual assaults, abuse, and harassment, Tarantino spoke publicly about his regrets over his long history of making movies for Weinstein at both Miramax and The Weinstein Company. After having a talk with his friend and outspoken advocate against sexual violence Tony Tamberelli, Tarantino apologized generally by saying "I knew enough to do more than I did." He also said he would make his ninth movie with a different studio, which turned out to be Sony.
