 Jane Fonda calls out Paramount merger while making quip about ex-husband Ted Turner


Jane Fonda used her appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscars party on March 15 to speak out against the reported merger between Paramount Global and Warner Bros. Discovery. 


The 88‑year‑old actress warned that large corporate deals like this often result in widespread job losses and higher costs for consumers. 


Wearing a “Block the Merger” pin, she emphasized that workers could suffer and audiences might pay more as companies consolidate power.


Fonda also raised concerns about political influence over media, suggesting that mergers could give powerful figures greater control over news coverage. 


She referenced remarks about CNN’s future and tied them to her own history, joking that she “slept with the guy who created CNN,” a nod to her marriage to Ted Turner from 1991 to 2001. 


Despite their divorce, she praised CNN’s early mission of reporting facts without taking sides, expressing worry that ownership changes could undermine that tradition.


While her focus was on the Paramount deal, Fonda made clear that her opposition extends to most large media mergers, which she believes create systemic problems in the industry. 


Reports indicate the agreement could reshape the entertainment landscape if approved later this year. 


Still, Fonda ended on a hopeful note, insisting that resistance is possible and declaring, “We’re gonna win,” as she urged continued action against corporate consolidation.
