On Jan. 23, 2023, film actor and activist Jane Fonda appeared as a guest on The Kelly Clarkson Show and purportedly said, There'd be no climate crisis if it wasn't for racism. After checking the episode of Clarkson's show, we were able to confirm that Fonda did say these words. This wasn't the first time we've covered Fonda. In 2003, we reported on a claim that said she and her ex-husband Ted Turner were refused service at a steakhouse run by a Vietnam War veteran. We also published our findings about a rumor that said she supposedly turned over smuggled messages to the captors of U.S. prisoners of war. As for Fonda's brief remark about how there'd be no climate crisis if it wasn't for racism, it was picked up in a number of tweets that received thousands of engagements. One such tweet showed a still frame from the episode, but not a video of the moment. On the episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Fonda was joined by her fellow 80 for Brady co-stars Rita Moreno, Lily Tomlin, and Sally Field. We transcribed the full remarks made by Clarkson, Fonda, and Moreno, which included the sentence, There'd be no climate crisis if it wasn't for racism. Moreno then asked Fonda to explain what she meant. The full segment can be watched below, with the moment about Fonda mentioning the climate crisis and racism beginning at around the 4:30 mark.
