Jane Fonda: I knew about Weinstein, and I'm 'ashamed' I didn't say anything
CNN ^ | October 12th 2017 | Jackie Wattles

Jane Fonda regrets not speaking up earlier about Harvey Weinstein. The film star, who is also an active women's rights advocate, told CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Thursday that she "found out about Harvey about a year ago." "I'm ashamed that I didn't say anything right then," Fonda said. The Oscar award winning actress said that she was never assaulted by the movie mogul. In the past week, multiple women have come forward accusing Weinstein of rape, assault and other misconduct.

The movie producer denies the charges and released a statement earlier this week, through a representative. "Mr. Weinstein obviously can't speak to anonymous allegations, but with respect to any women who have made allegations on the record, Mr. Weinstein believes that all of these relationships were consensual," the statement said. The stories revealed that Weinstein's actions were something of an open secret in Hollywood. Fonda, 79, said that her friend and fellow actor, Rosanna Arquette, had recounted a troubling experience with Weinstein.

Fonda declined to discuss what Arquette told her. But Arquette is among the handful of actresses whose experiences with Weinstein were detailed in the New Yorker this week. Arquette said she denied advances Weinstein made in a hotel room. "He made things very difficult for me for years," she told the New Yorker. When asked why Fonda didn't say anything publicly after she spoke with Arquette, Fonda said, "I guess it hadn't happened to me, and so I didn't feel that it was my place." Fonda, an Academy Award winner, spoke to Amanpour about her own past experiences with sexual harassment and abuse. She says she was abused as an 8-year-old child and explains why therapy was important for her recovery. "You realize what I'm feeling is ok because this person is sharing my pain," she said.

Jane Fonda is a nothing to any real American. She may be something to the Left because she is an American hating -itch but no American, real American should care a dam- about what she has to say.

Fonda’s ashamed again...We’re in bombshell territory now...The self importance these people assign to themselves is enough to make me recoil.

>>Hi everyone, I’m ashamed, read all about me and the slimy details of me being shamed!

The other day I was watching the Vietnam series on PBS. There was a segment, albeit small, on Hanoi Jane.

I laughed out loud when even the vets who had come home, turned hippie, and lead some of the anti-war efforts were saying she was a God Damned Traitor and they couldn’t ever forgive her.

If they cannot forgive her, I cannot see how anyone here can. She is nothing.

Of course not. She is too old.

Talk about a barf-fest: Fonda being interviewed by Amanpour.

wish that were legal as a firearms target, but I bet it would be considered a terroristic threat.

Pity.

What does CNN report as news that is legitimate and non biased???

No Humor involved. FR and Jim R has been a bitch on some sources being legitimate. How does the MSM fit this narrative of legitimate? Why are they considered an accurate news source?? Pravda is looking good, compared to our fake news. Jim Rob has banned fake news for years, yet it gets posted on FR everyday, from the MSM!

Principles???????

She had no problem saying something to the enemy in Vietnam so many years ago.

Ah! But this is different. Those were honorable men who were denigrated and tortured as apposed to a degenerate that is to tolerated and honored.

You have got to lighten up a little. A BS piece from anywhere can provide some much needed humor in these aggravating times. As I always say: If you can't laugh at yourself, you take yourself too seriously!
