No Metoo accusations from Pam Grier?

Tarantino got no crap whatsoever from metoo, other than being best pals with its most famous rapresentative Weinstein. I guess he always acted professionally and respectably.
Still, it's pretty obvious his lust after Pam Grier in this movie.
No blame there, what man wouldn't get a hard on just looking at her?
My surprise is that, to an actress who's been off the radar for the previous 20 years (and had never made it big anyway before), getting this kind of opportunity from the hottest director in hollywood and the most powerful producer at the time came with no string attached.
Did I miss something, or did they skip this "chance" for some "action", or simply Pam never came out with the dirt?

Well as you said nobody has accused Tarantino of anything. His long close business relationship with Harvey Weinstein is a little unnerving but it's not evidence that he was involved in similar activities. I'm pretty sure Tarantino pretty much acknowledged that Pam Grier gave him a boner as a teenager which I'm sure had a lot to do with him choosing her for the role. She may have been too old for Weinstein by this point as he mostly seemed to go after younger up and coming actresses.

Also for the record it's been indicated by actors like Ian Mckellin & really it's just obvious if you think about it the "casting couch" culture in Hollyweird goes both ways & for all the alleged (probable) sexual assaults there are plenty of actresses (and male actors frankly) who willingly participate in it to advance their careers.

That's all true, great reply.
It's also true that she was probably not in Weinstein's spectrum.
Talkin about the casting couch in general, I think there's no way she managed to be completely extraneous to it during her whole carreer.

I was working, or trying to breakthrough in Hollywood in the mid to late 90`s and very early 2000.
I knew someone that tried to hook up with Tarantino and someone who did hook up with him.
To my recollection he never dangled parts or screentest in order to obtain woman. As many have stated before he do have a foot fetish where he likes to “eat” the toes and ejaculate on the foot. I have never met him personally, but he was back than deemed boring and unattractive.
He never really cast young up and commers in his films so I don’t think there was too much metoo there in the first place.

However Bob Weinstein under the Dimension Films banner pretty much had casting calls with every young woman in Hollywood. You would not believe how much sex was given consensually in order to secure a part on one of his produced films. Bob Weinstein was not the only one doing this as guys even had to put up in order to secure parts. Straight men willingly accepting older producers to pernitrate them for anal sex in hopes of getting that part as an extra.

Perhaps Tarantino isn't a deviant like Weinstein. Weirder things have happened.
