February 14, 2008 - Jane Fonda dropped the dreaded 'C-bomb' this morning on The TODAY Show during an interview with Meredith Viera. 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 — I live in Georgia. Then I was asked to do a monologue called 'CUNT', 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."
