Jane Fonda: Weinstein Victims Are Being Heard Because They’re “Famous and White” (Video)

Jane Fonda did an interview on on MSNBC’s “All In With Chris Hayes,” along with Gloria Steinem on Wednesday, October 26th, 2017, and talked about what has been going on in Hollywood with Harvey Weinstein and mere. 

“It feels like something has shifted,” Fonda told Hayes. “It’s too bad that it’s probably because so many of the women that were assaulted by Harvey Weinstein are famous and white and everybody knows them. This has been going on a long time to black women and other women of color and it doesn’t get out quite the same.”

Earlier this month, The New York Times released an exposé stating Weinstein has paid off women who accused him of sexual misconduct for decades. The New Yorker released its own investigative report of women coming forward to accuse the disgraced Hollywood producer of sexual assault and rape.

Weinstein’s list of A-list accusers include Angelina Jolie, Lupita Nyong’o, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rose McGowan, Ashley Judd, and more. Nyong’o penned an eloquent and chilling retelling of her encounters with Weinstein for “The New York Times” earlier this month.
