When will she ever learn?
When will she ever learn?
Jane Fonda is 70 years old. She's not a newcomer. I'm sure she's aware that some words aren't allowed to be said on network Television. It's a very small list.
That didn't keep her from using the C-word.
From Media Bistro:
Jane Fonda said the word 'c**t' during a Today interview with Meredith Vieira this morning. Fonda appeared on-set alongside The Vagina Monologues playwright Eve Ensler, to discuss the tenth anniversary of the play.
"It wasn't that I wasn't a big fan," Fonda said in the interview, discussing how she originally resisted getting involved with Monologues. "I hadn't seen the play &mdash I live in Georgia. Then I was asked to do a monologue called 'c**t', and I said, 'I don't think so. I've got enough problems.'"
About twenty minutes later, Vieira issued an on-air apology. "Before we go to break, in our last half hour we were talking about The Vagina Monologues and Jane Fonda inadvertently said a word from the play that you don't say on television. It was a slip, and obviously, she apologizes and so do we. We would do nothing to offend the audience, so please accept that apology."
A Today spokesperson tells TVNewser that for the Midwest, Mountain, and Pacific feeds of the program, the c-word itself is not heard — there's silence in its place — with a still photo covering the video at that moment. Vieira's apology, though, is still featured.
Notice after Fonda says the objectionable word, Vieira chuckles and goes right on with the interview.
Women demeaning women.

She's never had any class!
True.
And she's proud of it!
Fonda's apologies have an empty ring.
