Sharon Tate’s Sister Slams Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt For Starring in Quentin Tarantino’s Manson Murders-Set Film

Sharon Tate’s sister Debra isn’t happy with actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt for taking lead roles in upcoming Quentin Tarantino’s Manson Family era-set film. Debra Tate spoke with TMZ and said that she believes the two stars don’t care that they’re starring in a film that she believes will glorify Charles Manson, saying, they’re “throwing all their social responsibility to the wind.”

DiCaprio and Pitt are set to play a former Western TV series star (DiCaprio) and his stunt double (Pitt) in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, in which the murder of Sharon Tate and her friends by the Manson Family serves as a backdrop to the main story. Debra said, “To [celebrities] it’s a paycheck and these people just don’t care. They are terribly hurtful to the actual family and all the living victims. They don’t give a s**t.”

Debra believes the film will glorify Manson due to his past resume in which he sexualizes violence. She also says Tarantino’s lawyers promised that he would reach out to her, but that he has yet to do so.

The upcoming Quentin Tarantino film will release in theaters on August 9, 2019, which is fifty years after the Tate-LaBianca murders.
