Jane Fonda was due to promote her new book
Jane Fonda has accused bosses at TV network QVC of cancelling her appearance due to what she said in the 60s and 70s.
The Oscar winner was due to promote her upcoming book Prime Time on the home shopping channel on Saturday but the segment was called off at the last minute.
Viewers of the channels had threatened to boycott the show.
In a post on her website, Fonda claims QVC executives were inundates with calls about ehr anti-war activism in the 1960s and 1970s, prompting them to axe her programme.
She writes: "The network said they got a lot of calls yesterday criticising me for my opposition to the Vietnam War and threatening to boycott the show if I was allowed to appear.
"I am, to say the least, deeply disappointed that QVC caved to this king of insane pressure by some well-funded and organised political extremist groups. And that they did it without talking to me first."
The Barbarella star goes on to defend her Vietnam Wat stance and declare her love for the U.S.
She adds: "I have never done anthing to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us. I do not understand what the far right stands to gain by continuing these myths."
A spokesperson for QVC insists Fonda was cancelled due to a 'programming change', adding: "It's not unusual to have a chedule change with our shows and guests with little or no notice."
