Actress Uma Thurman has posted icy American Thanksgiving tidings for disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and his "wicked conspirators."

"I am grateful today, to be alive, for all those I love, and for all those who have the courage to stand up for others," Thurman began in a ThursdayInstagram post featuring an image of her as the vengeance-seeking Bride character from the film Kill Bill.

"I said I was angry recently, and I have a few reasons," she continued, referencing herguarded, yet clearly emotional responseto a late-October red-carpet exchange with Access Hollywood about the sexual harassment and assault revelations rocking Hollywood and beyond.

She also invokedthe#metoohashtag that hasbeen used in millions of social media posts by those who said theyhave suffered sexual harassment and assault.

Since the New York Times first published anexposwith multiple allegations against Weinstein, more than 70 women have come forward to accuse him of sexual harassment or assault. A vast number ofhigh-profile and powerful figures have subsequently been called out, including actor Kevin Spacey, journalist Charlie Rose, producer Brett Ratner, comedian Louis C.K., and studio executives John Lasseter and Roy Price.

While Thurman did not share any details about her own experiences in her post, she referencedWeinstein, who producedseveral of her films including the two-part, martial arts-inspired thrillerKill Billwith writer-director Quentin Tarantino, and noted: "Stay tuned."

She concluded her message "Happy Thanksgiving everyone! (Except you Harvey, and all your wicked conspirators I'm glad it's going slowly you don't deserve a bullet)."

Thurman's message drew immediate reaction online, including from Rose McGowan, a leading voice against Weinstein.
