Jimmy Iovine Apologizes for Saying Women Have a Hard Time Finding Music

FUSE TV - Jimmy Iovine Apologizes for Saying Women Have a Hard Time Finding Music

A messy interview arrived on Thursday, one where music industry stalwart and Apple Music co-founder Jimmy Iovine shared an unfortunately gendered opinion.

"I always knew that women find it very difficult at times—some women—to find music," he said on CBS This Morning. "And [Apple Music] helps makes it easier with playlists, but they're curated by real people, they're not by algorithms alone.” 

The comment arrived in tandem with the streaming service's new ad featuring Mary J. Blige, Kerry Washington and Taraji P. Henson:
