In an interview Thursday with David Wright for ABC’s “Nightline,” country music icon Dolly Parton had to stand her ground when things took a political turn.
Wright began the interview by bringing up Parton’s role in the classic 1980’s Hollywood film “9 to 5,” suggesting President Donald Trump was similar to the sexist boss in the movie.
The interviewer went on to label the president as the “face of the 21st Century” when it came to misogyny, and played a clip of co-star Jane Fonda labeling her character’s boss as a “sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot.”
“The sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical portrayed so effectively in that movie by actor Dabney Coleman hasn’t exactly disappeared from the culture,” Wright said. “We have a president of the United States who said the things on that bus.”
The comment by the Nightline host was in reference to the many accusations regarding sexual harassment and abuse allegedly at the hands of Trump, as well as the Access Hollywood tape from 2005 where Trump bragged about crude behavior towards women. – READ MORE
