Acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino has (kind of) broken his silence on the allegations against his friend and long-time collaborator Harvey Weinstein.
In a message delivered via actress/director Amber Tamblyn's Twitter, he expressed that he was "stunned and heartbroken" about the accusations against Weinstein.
Tarantino continued to say that he needed more time "to process my pain, emotions, anger and memory," but would publicly speak on the matter soon.
Read the full message via Tamblyn's tweets below.
Tarantino and Weinstein have collaborated multiple times, with the latter's Weinstein Company producing films like Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds, and rumoured to be involved with a potential upcoming Kill Bill Vol. 3.
Tarantino is the latest in a long line of Hollywood stars to publicly react to the Weinstein allegations, including Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, George Clooney and Emma Thompson. Since the New York Times initially published the accusations in a shocking exposé last week, actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Cara Delevingne have since come forth with their own disturbing stories of sexual harassment by Weinstein. Upon her return to Twitter, Rose McGowan publicly named Weinstein as her rapist for the first time yesterday (October 12).
The revelations have since spawned a greater discussion about sexual harassment in Hollywood, as well, with actors like Rob Schneider, Terry Crews and James Van Der Beek sharing their own experiences.

And for now, I'm off Twitter. I'll be back with more to say soon. And there is so very much to say. #WomenBoycottTwitter

This is a very good plan. Trust me. I'm a patriarchy whisperer. https://t.co/nBUP1CraOS
