Jane Fonda’s Got a Dirty Mouth
NBC has been forced to apologize to viewers after the actress Jane Fonda used the C-word on a live show. Fonda dropped the term when she appeared on the Today Show with the playwright Eve Ensler to discuss her ground-breaking play The Vagina Monologues, in which women talk about their sexuality using frank language about their bodies and references to their girlie parts.
On yesterday’s show, Fonda was explaining how she first heard of The Vagina Monologues.
“I was asked to do a monologue called ‘CUNT’, and I said, I don’t think so. I’ve got enough problems,” she said.
The Today Show airs live on the US East Coast, and the word was not muted or bleeped. Moments later the programme’s host, Meredith Vieira, apologized to audiences after clearly crapping her pants.
“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,” Vieira said. “We would do nothing to offend the audience, so please accept that apology.”
In later editions of the show broadcast in other US time zones, NBC silenced the word and covered the video with a still photo when Fonda uttered it.
Good cover!
WOWIE….Hey Jane, Meredith, Matt and that annoying bastard Al Roker…face the theme music….YOU GOT BUSTED!
