“I wish I knew then what I know today”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Marta Kauffman, one of the creators of ‘Friends’, spoke this weekend about not doing enough for diversity in her work.
\nKauffman, who is also a co-creator on the Netflix series ‘Grace and Frankie’ was speaking at an ‘ATX TV\u2026from the Couch’ panel about female showrunners (via Page Six).<\/p>\n

She said: “I wish I knew then what I know today,” and teared up as she apologised “Sorry, I just wish I knew then what I know now. I would\u2019ve made very different decisions.”<\/p>\n

She continued: “I mean we\u2019ve always encouraged people of diversity in our company, but I didn\u2019t do enough and now all I can think about is what can I do? What can I do differently?<\/p>\n

“How can I run my show in a new way? And that\u2019s something I not only wish I knew when I started showrunning, but I wish I knew all the way up through last year.”<\/p>\n

‘Friends’ star David Schwimmer spoke earlier this year about pushing for Ross’s girlfriends to be women of colour.<\/p>\n

He said: “I was well aware of the lack of diversity and I campaigned for years to have Ross date women of colour.<\/p>\n

“One of the first girlfriends I had on the show was an Asian American woman, and later I dated African American women. That was a very conscious push on my part.”<\/p>\n
