Speaking of her interview, the former lover of Quentin Tarantino in a podcast interview with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), as per Hindustan Times, stated, “In looking back over at my career, I realised that one of my very first auditions when I was 16, I was completely treated inappropriately by the casting director. In order to scare me for this horror movie scene, he tied me to a chair, he bruised my arm, and I was 16 years old, and then he gagged me, and I was all game because I’m trying to be scared for the scene.” The actress continued, “And at the end, he takes the gag out of my mouth and he said, ‘Sorry for the prophylactic’, so he had gagged me with a condom.”
Mira Sorvino refrained from naming the casting director and the director but said she was “too young to even know what a condom tasted like”, adding, “it was so inappropriate” and questioned, “what the heck was a casting director doing with a condom in his pocket in an audition?”

Speaking of the audition system, the former love interest of Quentin Tarantino said, “When you’re young, you don’t question. When you’re young, you’re like, ‘Oh okay, I’ve got to be tough, I’ve got to be down to really perform, and if that means they need me to go this extra mile’ – and you see many times we have awards given to people for giving particularly raw performances in very brutal, s*xual scenes or things like that.”
