In an interview on NBC’s Today Show this morning, actress Jane Fonda unabashedly and unapologetically let loose the C-word.

Although the 70-year-old Fonda has yet to apologize for the slip, Today Show co-host, Meredith Vieira issued the following statement:

Fonda and The Vagina Monologues playwright Eve Ensler were having a Valentine’s Day conversation with Vieira about the 15th anniversary of Ensler’s best-known work – and the 10th anniversary of “V-Day,” founded by Ensler to end violence against women and girls around the world – when Fonda let the “c-word” slip.

“We were talking about The Vagina Monologues and Jane Fonda inadvertently said a word from the play that you don’t say on television,” Vieira said after a newsbreak on Today. “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.”
