Shannon Lee, Bruce Lee’s daughter, addressed recent comments Quentin Tarantino made about the legendary martial artist in a column.
Following recent comments Quentin Tarantino made about Bruce Lee during an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, the late martial artist’s daughter, Shannon Lee, has written a column addressing those comments, as well as her previous criticism of her father’s portrayal in Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood movie.
During his Joe Rogan appearance, Tarantino spoke on the controversy he faced for how Lee is depicted in the 2019 film, saying “Where I’m coming from is…I can understand his daughter having a problem with it, it’s her f**king father! I get that,” before going on to say that anyone else who had something to say about how Lee was portrayed could “Go suck a d**k.”
“…while I am grateful that Mr. Tarantino has so generously acknowledged to Joe Rogan that I may have my feelings about his portrayal of my father, I am also grateful for the opportunity to express this: I’m really fucking tired of white men in Hollywood trying to tell me who Bruce Lee was,” Shannon wrote in a column for The Hollywood Reporter titled, “Does Quentin Tarantino Hate Bruce Lee? Or Does It Just Help Sell Books?”
