Quentin Tarantino has broken his silence on the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment and assault allegations

Writer and director Quentin Tarantino has worked with Harvey Weinstein on a number of projects, including 1994's "Pulp Fiction," which was nominated for several Oscars including best picture and best director. Tarantino won the Oscar for writing the original screenplay.

The Weinstein Company also released Tarantino's films "Django Unchained" (2012 ) and "Inglorious Basterds" (2009), which rank among the company's highest-grossing films.

The sexual harassment and assault allegations against Weinstein have built since they surfaced last week, and many in the industry have publicly made a statement, but Tarantino had not.

But on Thursday night, actress Amber Tamblyn, who is friends with Tarantino, shared an Instagram and tweet with a short statement from him, since he does not use social media. Here's what Tarantino said:

"For the last week, I've been stunned and heartbroken about the revelations that have come to light about my friend for 25 years Harvey Weinstein. I need a few more days to process my pain, emotions, anger and memory and then I will speak publicly about it."

In the next few days, we should expect to hear more from Tarantino on the Weinstein allegations.
