Uma Thurman posted footage of the 'Kill Bill' car crash that left her with a concussion to Instagram, and took aim at the producers
- Uma Thurman posted the footage of her crash on the set of "Kill Bill" to Instagram on Monday.
- She wanted a stunt driver to do the scene, but director Quentin Tarantino insisted Thurman do it, she told The New York Times.
- Thurman blamed the producers of the movie for what occurred.
On Monday, Uma Thurman posted to Instagram footage from the "Kill Bill" movie set showing her crashing into a tree while shooting a scene.
A longer version of the footage was included in a New York Times story over the weekend, in which Thurman opened up for the first time about sexual misconduct she allegedly endured from Harvey Weinstein, and the on-set crash she said left her with a concussion and injuries to her knees.
Thurman told the Times that she had wanted a stunt driver to do the scene, but director Quentin Tarantino insisted his star do it.
Thurman wrote in the caption of her Instagram post that "Tarantino was deeply regretful and remains remorseful about this sorry event, and gave me the footage years later so I could expose it and let it see the light of day."
But she didn't forgive everyone.
"The cover up after the fact is unforgivable," Thurman wrote. "For this I hold Lawrence Bender, ["Kill Bill" executive producer] E. Bennett Walsh, and the notorious Harvey Weinstein solely responsible."
Numerous producers who spoke to Business Insider after the Times story came out also put the blame on Bender, and said it was the producer who should have made the director understand that his vision might be harmful to the cast and crew.
"On my sets, the assistant director knows that the camera can't roll on a stunt unless a producer is on set, and had I known Uma was not comfortable doing the stunt herself, I would have stepped in and said 'no means no,' and the stunt double would have been used," producer Rebecca Green ("It Follows") told Business Insider. "Either Lawrence Bender wasn't there, he didn't care how Uma felt, or he was too worried about pissing off Tarantino."
Tarantino, Bender, Walsh, and Weinstein were not immediately available for comment.
