Actress Jane Fonda said she believes people were tuning in to hear Harvey Weinstein accusers' stories because they are "famous and white and everybody knows them."
In an interview with MSNBC's Chris Hayes on Wednesday, Fonda and her friend, longtime activist Gloria Steinem, were asked about the Weinstein scandal that has rocked Hollywood, Variety reported.
"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 colour and it doesn't get out quite the same."
