Jane Fonda has released a statement in support of Mark Ruffalo after Paramount slammed the four-time Oscar nominee as “antisemitic” for a recent post denouncing Larry Ellison’s ties to Israel and David Ellison’s planned merger with Warner Bros.

“Especially as a Jewish American, I find it deeply troubling to see false accusations of antisemitism used to silence legitimate political criticism in this country,” Fonda wrote in a statement shared to the Committee for the 1st Amendment Instagram. “Antisemitism is real and dangerous, which is precisely why the charge should never be used as a cudgel against people whose political views you dislike, in this case as dedicated a crusader for democracy as Mark, whom we are proud to have as a Committee member and to be in this fight with us.”
