“I spent the ‘90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage [to actress Jennifer Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”
Am I the only one on the face of the earth who didn’t love Jennifer Aniston – or Friends – at some point? I cringe every time I see the show’s set as some kind of non-living testament to the nineties, and you know what? I have the same reaction to Brad Pitt’s ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston. And apparently he does, too. Kind of those “What was I thinking?“-type reactions. One of those looking-back-and-sort-of-laughing-uncomfortably things. I know a lot of you revere Jennifer Aniston as one of the greatest sitcom actresses to ever grace the small screen, but guys? I just don’t see it, and I never will, OK? Can we finally put that to bed now?
Let sleeping dogs lie, Sarah.
You make a post about your dislike of Jennifer Aniston, then note how a lot of readers like her, and then finish it off with, ‘can we put that to bed now?’ So why make the post in the first place?
You’re like one of those drama-causing, drama-hungry people who exclaim, “you guyzzzz, I hate dramaaa. Grow up, and act your ageeee!!”
If you’ve been around for awhile, Dani, you probably already know that a lot of readers don’t understand why I dislike Jennifer Aniston so much – hence the “can we put that to bed now” comment. :)
I’ve been reading this site for years, when it was just Sasha writing on it, so I’ve followed your posts since you started here. I have no issues whether you like Jennifer or not. This is one of the few sites that the readers actually do seem to be pro-Aniston. I just do not understand why you’d follow the quote with your comments, then ask to ‘put that to bed now.’ It’s borderline hypocritical.
It was your last your last sentence that really puzzled me and made me comment.
Brad’s scum—always thought so, always will.
harsh but true
Brad just lost my respect,no matter how he felt about his marriage he should have respect for his ex wife and refrain from throwing shade,i think he is just jealous that Jen has finally found a stable partner,why else would he start throwing shade now?and he is a dog for saying things like this when he cheated in the first place urrrrg he makes me sick.
ah, I can’t stand Jennifer Aniston either… she is boring, a bad actress and I don’t get all the vibe of “she is beautiful”, bbecause to be, her weird-nosejob face is fugly.
How can someone NOT get Friends?!
I really used to like Brad Pitt, but the way he and Angelina try to hurt Jennifer after all these years has caused me to change my opinion of both of them, or should I say “Brangelina”. I live in Michigan, far from the glamour of Hollywood, but I think that town and all that money has caused people to become insensitive and morally bankrupt. After Jen and Brad broke up she kept her thoughts to herself for a very long time. She showed a lot of class and courage. I think I would have been curled up in the fetal position, crying hysterically and then I would probably hunt them down and make the biggest scene ever. I am sure the police would at some point have to intervene. And now Angelina tried to get the part in a new movie starring Justin Theroux. How junior high school is that? They need to just stop trying to rub their affair in her long ago healed wound. Oh, btw, stop dragging your kids around all over the globe. They need some place to call home.
If Aniston had given Brad a few babies, instead of making those crappy movies this all would have been a non issue.
Totally sexist. You are an idiot.
I find it pretty damn ridiculous you use Brad’s quotes to slam Jennifer, when really he is just shifting blame for infidelity to the person he cheated on. Shifting the blame to the person you betrayed is pretty typical behavior for an adulterer.
If you want to put it to rest, do not bother posting about it.
She’s so boring…
Brad Pitt may or may not be a cheating bastard, but he’s pretty much a demi-god…so i’m not sure if it matters.
I completely agree with you. I can’t stand Jennifer Anistion. I liked her in friends, but with every movie she does, I like her less and less. She’s horrible and beyond boring. She also seems shallow and self centered. It’s like she needs to grow up or something. People need to get over her and Brad. He’s Hollywood royalty and there’s no way a boring marriage to a C-list actress would have ever worked for him.
Brat sucks, regardless of what you people might think of Jennifer aniston, he didtn need to say that what an asshole..isnt it enough what he did to her…I hate him stupid angelina, whos getting uglier and uglier every day..one day hes gonna wake up and gonna realize the monster hes with…
nope, ain’t happening.
The reality of this situation is that Jen is not a good actress. She was the best looking one on friends, which was just kind of funny. She was never an inspiration and friends was only good because nothing else at the time was better except ER which also was only better than watching a camp fire. Truth is, we all have a friend that looks kinda like jennfer so we root for her. But deep down, you and I both know you’ve seen a rerun and thought “man she’s anoying” and the simple truth is, she is.
Jennifer Aniston sucks
Jennifer Aniston is a wart on the face of humanity.She is a crime against humanity.When is this harpie going to quit the movies.NO one wants her.yet they keep shoving her down our throats.She really has connections in Hollywood.When are they going to get the message that we don’t want to see her on the screen anymore.Most people are sick to death of her.
At least Angelina JOLie
At least angie Jolie is interested in someone other than herself like Jen Aniston.Angie works tirelessly for the poor,donating millions of her own money to the poor.Jen aniston gives nothing that I know of.Jen gives a five minute commercial for cancer,angie gives days,hours,months for the poor.She adopts homeless children and gives them a decent life.When Princess Diana died,Angie took up the torch for the poor.She is a kind and loving person.My hats off the Angelina Jolie.Is it any wonder Brad fell for her.
The people that like Jennifer Aniston must be shallow and selfish like her,or they wouldn’t admire that harpie.Probably trash.People with no love for humanity,only themselves.People that are probably homely and jelous like Aniston.Well say what you like about Angie but she cares for people and is a good human being,not a selfish jerk.
Harpie? Unbelievable. Now I get why Trump was elected. Americans are dumb.
Jennifer isn’t the problem, Angelina isn’t the problem, but Brad Pitt IS the problem. When will Brad realize that he IS the ****ing boring one? He sounds like that his life was super sympathetic before he met Angelina, and then he had “epihhany” lmao. Oh C’on, ur a mature man, no one forced u to fall in love with Jennifer and then marry her. It’s HIS own choice, so why keep murmuring and blaming someone else for his stupid decisions?
I can’t help myself. Even though I don’t think anyone should throw mud or judge, I am still SICK TO DEATH of seeing Jennifer Aniston’s face freeking everywhere. Her movies suck. She is a terrible actress. It’s like she is just pretending to be an actress and people are buying it. Yes, evidently she took very good advantage of her marriage to Brad as a ticket to big connections to up her career after Friends ended. Everyone in the business knows that sooner or later your gig is gonna be up and ya gotta keep working somehow. Her’s was marrying a big ticket like Brad. Honestly I can’t blame him for tiring of that. It was so obvious. Cheating is wrong, but people are HUMAN!!! They make mistakes. Also, take a man away from the eyes of his wife for too long and throw in a couple’s movie and a beautiful co-star and what do you think’s gonna happen? Most marriages get very boring very quickly to megastars like both of them were at the time. Secondly, Jennifer IS boring. We have seen it over and over. The whole world knows she is boring!! So please stop making stupid movies with her in them!!! and her Aveno commercials are a joke. In one of them she has an inch of makeup caked on her not-so-attractive face, and at the end claims she is “simply beautiful”. Please!! She’s got to be rich enough for the rest of her life by now so I implore you GIVE US A HUGE BREAK FROM freakin’ Jennifer effing Aniston. Enough is enough already!!!
Brad cheated on her & then he has the nerve to say that stuff in Parade magazine. HE is the dull one of the 3 even though he’s good looking. Sounds like he’s still smoking weed so why blame Jennifer about their boring life? Good, get off the couch Brad but you don’t have to trash JA. She probably would have never said a bad word about Brad in the press even though he did what he did to her. I get why he went for Angelina but leave Jennifer Aniston out of the ugly mess that it became (largely due to his cheating).

“I am sad that this has been interpreted in this way. Jen is an incredibly generous, caring and fun woman who continues to be my friend. It’s an important relationship that I value a lot. What I was trying to say was not that Jen was embarrassing, but that I was becoming bland – and so I am responsible.” Brad Pitt
