The star gave a very measured, but clearly incredibly angry and emotional response when asked about the various stories coming to light, telling the interviewer: “I don’t have a tidy soundbite for you, because I have learned, I am not a child.

“And I have learned that when I’ve spoken in anger, I usually regret the way I express myself.”

She added: “I’ve been waiting to feel less angry, and when I’m ready, I’ll say what I have to say.”

Kill Bill director Quentin Tarantino has previously admitted he already knew of the accusations against Weinstein, whom he has worked with on several occasions and was friends with, admitting he could have done more to stop the producer’s alleged behaviour.

“I knew enough to do more than I did,” he said in an interview with The New York Times. “There was more to it than just the normal rumours, the normal gossip. It wasn’t secondhand. I knew he did a couple of these things.”
