They\u2019re all running around in chaps and no shirts. There\u2019s all these allusions to homosexuality throughout the f***king movie.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cShe\u2019s a brilliant director. I love her work, previous work. But what the f*** does this woman from down there, New Zealand, know about the American West?

That f***ing rubbed me the wrong way, pal,\u201d Elliott said of Campion.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Elliott, well known for his roles in Westerns as a man of grit, honor, and courage continued by explaining he takes it \u201cpersonal.

I think it\u2019s a little bit sexist,\u201d she added, suggesting that Elliott saw her gender rather than her talent and her work. \u201cI think he thinks of me as a woman or something lesser first, and I don\u2019t appreciate that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>She went on to say that Elliott was being \u201ca little bit of a B-*-*-*-*,\u201d spelling out the epithet.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019m sorry, he was being a little bit of a B-*-*-*-*.
