While many in the film industry are claiming they had no knowledge of Harvey Weinstein’s alleged sexual misconduct, Jane Fonda is admitting that she first heard about the producer’s behavior a year ago, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Speaking with Christiane Amanpour in an interview set to air on CNN Friday, Fonda expresses regret that she didn’t call him out sooner. “I found out about Harvey about a year ago, and I’m ashamed that I didn’t say anything back then,” she said. The “Our Souls At Night” star says she was first made aware of Weinstein’s actions by actress Rosanna Arquette, who detailed an incident of alleged sexual assault at the hands of the producer in a report by The New York Times. According to Arquette, Weinstein invited her to his hotel room one night in the 1990s under the guise of picking up a script for a new role and then forced her hand on his crotch.
