Uma Thurman has lashed out at Harvey Weinstein and others named in the Hollywood sexual abuse scandal in a powerful Thanksgiving day Instagram post.

Earlier this month, the actress revealed that she was waiting to be "less angry" before commenting on the allegations made against several key figures in Hollywood.

"I don't have a tiny soundbite for you, because I am not a child and I have learned that when I have spoken in anger, I usually regret the way I express myself," she said at the time.

"So I've been waiting to feel less angry, and when I'm ready, I'll say what I have to say."

And it looks like today (November 23) that day has come.

"Happy Thanksgiving," Uma posted on Instagram alongside a still of her as The Bride in Kill Bill. "I am grateful today, to be alive, for all those I love, and for all those who have the courage to stand up for others."

She continued: "I said I was angry recently, and I have a few reasons, #metoo, in case you couldn't tell by the look on my face.

"I feel it's important to take your time, be fair, be exact, so... Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! (Except you Harvey, and all your wicked conspirators - I'm glad it's going slowly - you don't deserve a bullet)."

The actress then concluded the post with a cryptic "stay tuned", hinting that she has more to say on the matter.

Thurman has worked with Harvey Weinstein on several films in the past, including hits Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction.

Last month, it was confirmed that Weinstein was being investigated by both US and UK police after he was publicly accused of historic sexual misconduct by several stars including Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Cara Delevingne and Ashley Judd.

The movie producer "unequivocally denies" all allegations of non-consensual sex against him.
