The Buzz | Amid controversy, Tarantino expresses regret over Thurman

Director Quentin Tarantino has responded to Uma Thurman’s allegation that he put her life in danger with a dangerous car stunt on “Kill Bill,” calling the incident “the biggest regret of my life.”

But just as he was making amends for that incident the director was being excoriated on social media for remarks he made in a 2003 interview with Howard Stern that resurfaced online, seemingly defending Roman Polanski for having sex with a 13-year-old girl, saying the victim “wanted to have it” and was “down to party” with Polanski.

The incident involving Thurman became public in a New York Times column in which the actress, while also making sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein, recounted Tarantino persuading her to drive a car on the Mexico set that she had been warned might be faulty.
