Maybe she just thought she was? Maybe wanted attention? Maybe thought it was a cool thing to do?
Re; Jane Fonda
It’s not unusual for people to “get Saved” and then create a god in their own image. It’s like getting rescued by God from slavery and then making a golden calf to worship.
Without solid Biblical teaching and study, people tend to wander.
My recollection with Fonda is that her god was amazingly like her.
