Quentin Tarantino ‘harrassed’ by half-dressed girl whereas consuming in NYC

Quentin Tarantino found himself being yelled at and harassed by a bikini-clad activist while the Hollywood director ate at a restaurant in New York City just days ago.

The director, behind movies including Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, was captured on film trying to enjoy a meal at the Che Li restaurant on St Marks Place when he was seemingly interrupted. A video, posted to Instagram on Saturday, shows the 61-year-old being pestered.

In the clip the social media personality, also an anti-Israel activist, known as ‘Crackhead Barney’ can be heard yelling at the celebrated director. She called his name before shouting “Why are you a Zionist piece of s**t?”

As she is pushed from the premises by workers, she then asks him if he’s going to Israel. He can then be seen setting down his cutlery, appearing to smirk and then folding his arms in the clip.

The Oscar winner appeared in good spirits despite the antics

The video then shows Tarantino trying to leave the restaurant and walk down the stairs while Barney stands in front of the Oscar winner, yelling: “Tarantino say n*****.” She then repeatedly shouts “Free Palestine”.

Despite the behaviour he admirably tried to remain calm and navigate the crowds, even urging them to move back and get out of the way in a polite mannor.

Barney has previously shared videos of similar antics, including a video of her pestering Alec Baldwin at a coffee shop, also in the Big Apple. The actor smacked her phone away as she urged him to call on freedom for Palestine earlier this year.
