The famous celebrity troll known as ‘Crackhead Barney’ accosted Quentin Tarantino at a fancy New York City restaurant on Saturday.
In a video posted to Barney’s Instagram, the sassy and controversial social media personality approaches the legendary film director, who appears to be enjoying a quiet meal alone at Che Li restaurant in St. Marks Place.
“Quentin Tarantino,” Barney shouts. ‘Why are you a Zionist piece of shit!’
Tarantino puts down his fork and shakes his head as the incorrigible celebrity stalker yells, ‘Go to Israel?’
The famous celebrity troll known as ‘Crackhead Barney’ accosted Quentin Tarantino at a fancy New York City restaurant on Saturday.
In a video posted to Barney’s Instagram, the sassy and controversial social media personality approaches the legendary film director, who appears to be enjoying a quiet meal alone at Che Li restaurant in St. Marks Place.
The video then shows Tarantino trying to leave the restaurant and go down the stairs as Barney stands in front of him and says, “Tarantino say niggas!”
Tarantino, whose films like Django Unchained and Pulp Fiction feature the use of the word, tries to keep calm and navigate an unruly crowd.
A crowd of people who look like protesters surround the director and chant ‘Toes! Toes! Toes!’ apparently in reference to Tarantino’s penchant for showing female feet in his films.
‘Careful, guys. Watch out, guys,” director Jackie Brown says to the crowd as he heads to his car.
Barney remains close to Tarantino and continues his relentless harassment, shouting: ‘Free Palestine! Free Palestine! Free Palestine!’
Finally, the filmmaker manages to get into his vehicle, at which point Barney and some of his companions place their feet on the car door and windows, continuing their “toes” chant.
The video ends with a man running down the street after the car and shouting the director’s name.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker is married to Israeli musician Daniella Pick, daughter of famous Israeli pop artist Svika Pick.
Tarantino now lives primarily in Tel Aviv with Pick and their two children.
The director of Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood has spoken many times of his love for his country and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has even awarded him an honorary doctorate.
A week after the brutal Hamas attack on October 7, which left around 1,200 Israelis dead, Tarantino visited a military base in southern Israel, where he met with IDF soldiers and boosted morale.
After Barney called Tarantino a ‘Zionist piece of shit,’ his video showed a photo of the director at the Israeli military base.
Tarantino is not the first celebrity Barney has targeted, nor the first to be subjected to his antics.
In April, Barney uploaded a video of her harassing Alec Baldwin in a New York coffee shop, demanding he say “Free Palestine” until the exasperated actor slammed his phone.
Crackhead Barney stalked actor Alec Baldwin in a New York City coffee shop and then followed him outside by grabbing his arm as they walked through the door at the same time.
Crackhead Barney’s most recent video shows her harassing Baldwin in a New York coffee shop, insisting he say “Free Palestine” until he hits her phone.
‘Free Palestine, Alec, just once and I’ll leave you alone. I will leave you alone, I swear, just say Palestine free once,” he shouted, calling him a “white devil.”
A cafeteria employee tried to ask him to stop arguing with Baldwin, while the actor walked to the door and asked him to leave.
‘Why did you kill that lady? You killed that lady and they didn’t put you in jail,” the protester said, referring to the fatal shooting on the set of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins’ Rust.
Baldwin’s criminal trial for the shooting will begin July 10, after a grand jury indicted him on involuntary manslaughter in January.
When Baldwin left the cafeteria, she followed him outside, grabbing his arm as they walked through the door at the same time.
Dressed in outrageous outfits, the troll has been ambushing people on the street and at public events since 2020.
He’s appeared everywhere from Trump rallies to protests in Israel or Palestine to pro-choice marches, and last week he tormented Andrew Giuliani outside Trump’s trial.
His personality comes from the first skits of 2021, when he accosted random tourists in New York while wearing a Barney the Dinosaur costume from the children’s TV show.
However, the costume arrived from Amazon without one of her eyes, which led to people calling her “Barney the Crackhead” in their videos, and it stuck.
After Barney’s fight with Baldwin, she appeared in an interview with Piers Morgan, during which she claimed that the actor had ‘mutated’ her.
Barney began the interview by telling the former CNN presenter: ‘I was waiting for you, Piers, bloody Morgan!
The provocateur wore a blonde wig, a neck brace, sunglasses with bright red lipstick and white paint all over her face. Her blouse was lifted, revealing a practically naked chest, for that matter.
His arm was in a sling and he used a crutch with his other arm. She then revealed to Morgan that she was wearing a diaper just for him.
The troll proceeds to claim to the host that he was a victim of harassment in his dispute with Baldwin.
‘What did I do to Alec Baldwin? Piers, do you see the damage Alec did to me? Do you see the damage? Look at my arms! Look at my arms, Piers! Look at my neck! A white man mutilated me on Monday!’
Pier’s Morgan producers urged him to interrupt America’s most outrageous internet troll Crackhead Barney (pictured) during his “crazy” interview, but he refused.
When Morgan claimed that she was not mutilated, Barney responded by calling him “another white demon.”
Morgan responded by telling him there was no need to yell. “We can have a civil conversation,” she said.
Barney rejected that offer. ‘Pier, damn Morgan… What’s wrong with saying “Free Palestine”? @’Piers, can you say: “Free, free Palestine” for me?’
In the end, Morgan said, “I absolutely believe that Palestine should be free,” but then turned the conversation to the Baldwin incident.
“This is the third white man to hit me this week,” Barney said, alleging that her “white boyfriend” also had physical contact with her.
The fight led to Crackhead Barney pretending to be ‘mutilated’ by Baldwin and appearing on Morgan’s show limping on crutches with a neck brace, sunglasses and white face paint, and wearing a diaper without a bra.
Morgan went on to accuse her of mocking Israel’s war in Gaza, prompting Barney to fake cry and say, “I’m always serious… I’m a victim, I’m a victim, Piers.”
‘Look, Piers, you’re trying to make nonsense of this. “I know exactly what you’re doing, Piers, and your tactics,” he continued.
Barney then went into ranting mode, insulting Morgan for being British, for being a supporter of the royal family, and accusing him of setting him up on the show.
Finally, Morgan interrupts her and tells her audience that the interaction was “one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever had to endure.”
