<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-aniston" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Aniston</a> said she&#8217;s tired of &#8220;cancel culture&#8221; during a recent interview, suggesting that she would probably be canceled for saying so.
The 54-year-old actress spoke to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/style/jennifer-aniston-morning-show-season-3-59413d2f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a> and explained that while she wasn&#8217;t personally harassed by disgraced movie mogul <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disgraced-movie-mogul-harvey-weinstein-found-guilty-of-rape-in-los-angeles-trial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvey Weinstein</a>, she doesn&#8217;t put everyone who has done something wrong in the same &#8220;basket.&#8221;
&#8220;I probably just got canceled by saying that,&#8221; Aniston said. &#8220;I just don&#8217;t understand what it means &#8230; Is there no redemption? I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t put everybody in the Harvey Weinstein basket.&#8221;
The &#8220;Friends&#8221; alum went on to recall how Weinstein made people feel nervous and one time she was in her trailer on the set of a movie and he showed up to pitch her something.

&#8220;He&#8217;s not a guy, you’re like, &#8216;God, I can’t wait to hang out with Harvey [Weinstein],'&#8221; the superstar actress said. &#8220;Never. You were actually like, &#8216;Oh, God, OK, suck it up.'&#8221;
&#8220;I remember actually, he came to visit me on a movie to pitch me a movie,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And I do remember consciously having a person stay in my trailer.&#8221;
Weinstein was at the center of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/toto-hollywood-and-total-collapse-metoo-christian-toto" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#MeToo movement</a> in 2017 after numerous stars accused him of sexual misconduct. He is currently serving 39 years behind bars after being convicted in Los Angeles and New York for rape and sexual assault, <a href="https://variety.com/2023/film/news/jennifer-aniston-cancel-culture-harvey-weinstein-1235701941/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a> noted.
The disgraced movie producer told WSJ that the &#8220;Horrible Bosses&#8221; star &#8220;never had any uncomfortable instances with me.&#8221;

An email from Weinstein about Aniston, in which the convicted sexual offender wished the actress dead, made the news in 2020, <a href="https://variety.com/2020/biz/news/weinstein-jennifer-aniston-should-be-killed-1203529141/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a> reported.
Unsealed court documents revealed an email Weinstein wrote in 2017 said, &#8220;Jen Aniston should be killed.&#8221; It was in response to a media inquiry into allegations that Weinstein had allegedly groped the &#8220;Murder Mystery&#8221; star.
At the time, a rep for Aniston told Variety the &#8220;claims are false. Jennifer has not been harassed or assaulted by Harvey.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-aniston">Jennifer Aniston</a> revealed that the backhanded compliment she often gets – people praising her for how good she looks for her age – drives her &#8220;bananas.&#8221;
During the 54-year-old actress&#8217;s interview with <a href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/jennifer-aniston-exercise-routine">British Vogue</a>, the &#8220;Friends&#8221; star said one thing she &#8220;can&#8217;t stand&#8221; is when someone says to her, &#8220;You look great for your age.&#8221;
&#8220;It drives me bananas, I can&#8217;t stand it,&#8221; Aniston said.
&#8220;That&#8217;s a habit of society that we have these markers like, &#8216;Well, you&#8217;re at that stage, so for your age …&#8217; I don&#8217;t even understand what it means,&#8221; she added.

&#8220;I&#8217;m in better shape than I was in my 20s,&#8221; Aniston continued. &#8220;I feel better in mind, body and spirit. It&#8217;s all 100 percent better.&#8221;
The &#8220;Horrible Bosses&#8221; star said people in her family live to be very old and longevity means more to her than just being alive.
&#8220;My family lives a long time, especially my dad&#8217;s side,&#8221; Aniston said. &#8220;I want to be thriving; I don&#8217;t want to just be alive.&#8221;
In a <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/jennifer-aniston-rethink-view-aging-society-expiration-dates-on-ourselves-120031110.html">2021 interview</a> with Yahoo Life, the actress said her approach to self-care herself has changed over the years, admitting that, now that she is older, she realizes she took a lot of things for granted.
&#8220;I think I&#8217;ve now become more aware,&#8221; Aniston said. &#8220;We take so much for granted when we&#8217;re in our 20s and 30s, when self-care is like, &#8216;Oh, I&#8217;ll sleep when I&#8217;m 80.'&#8221;
&#8220;No. You need to sleep now,&#8221; she added. &#8220;You need to start meditating now. You need to be mindful now. If you don&#8217;t incorporate that into your body at a young age, it shows. I look at my older relatives and I see them aging. Universally, every single human being, we can&#8217;t get away from it. We are all growing older no matter what, but we don&#8217;t have to grow sick. We don&#8217;t have to grow old and not be thriving.&#8221;
Later in the interview, Aniston talked about how she feels society should change its views when it comes to aging.
&#8220;It&#8217;s like, alright, you&#8217;re this age, so now this is the time when you go off to pasture because you actually are of no use to us anymore, to society,&#8221; Aniston said.  &#8220;I think we need to stop putting ages next to people&#8217;s names. I&#8217;ve never understood that. I’d much rather my height! It&#8217;s like we’re a carton of milk with an expiration date[,] and I think we need to figure out how to re-message all of that&#8230;&#8221;

Jennifer Aniston Reveals Backhanded Compliment She Gets That Drives Her ‘Bananas’

Friends

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-aniston" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Aniston</a> recently revealed that she spent her first “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/friends" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Friends</a>” paycheck on a car she’d been eyeing for a while, but it turned out to be a total “lemon.”
The 54-year-old actress made the comments while speaking with Popsugar alongside Adam Sandler as they promoted their new <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">movie</a>, “Murder Mystery 2.” 
“I do remember my first big splurge was on a Mercedes that had a for sale sign on it for almost two years,” she <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@popsugar/video/7216857557510524202" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> of choosing a vintage vehicle to celebrate her big payday. 
Aniston recalled frequently passing the car while driving along Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. “I was always like ‘I can’t wait. Someday,’” she continued. The “Morning Show” actress said she paid the full asking price for the car but almost immediately realized why it hadn’t been scooped up by someone else.
“I bought it. And then I drove it. And then I drove it again and it never drove again,” Aniston said. “It was a lemon.”
“I didn’t know any better to get it checked out,” she added. “That was just a nice 25-year-old mistake.”
The celebrity had previously told a version of this story on InStyle&#8217;s podcast, &#8220;Ladies First with Laura Brown,&#8221; in 2021.
“It was on La Cienega and where Fred Segal is on Melrose &#8230; There was always this Mercedes, this 270 SL Mercedes,&#8221; Aniston said at the time.

&#8220;[It] sat forever, saying &#8216;for sale&#8217; on it for like two years. And I remember thinking, &#8216;Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if I could buy that car one day? &#8230; And then the first year of ‘Friends’ happened and I was like, &#8216;You know what, I&#8217;m going to buy that antique car, &#8217;cause I&#8217;ve always loved that car.&#8217; I can&#8217;t remember how much it was. It might&#8217;ve been like $13,000.” 
&#8220;It got me home,” Aniston said. “And then I don&#8217;t even actually think I made it home right before it just went like [noise]. So, it might&#8217;ve honestly just been the shell of a car, and I was the sucker to finally purchase it.&#8221;
The actress recently made <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jennifer-aniston-says-a-whole-generation-of-people-think-friends-is-offensive-now" target="_blank" rel="noopener">headlines</a> for acknowledging how modern audiences sometimes take issue with episodes of “Friends.” 
“There’s a whole generation of people, kids, who are now going back to episodes of ‘Friends’ and find them offensive,” she told the Associated Foreign Press. “There were things that were never intentional and others … well, we should have thought it through, but I don’t think there was a sensitivity like there is now.&#8221; 
“Comedy has evolved, movies have evolved. Now it’s a little tricky because you have to be very careful, which makes it really hard for comedians, because the beauty of comedy is that we make fun of ourselves, make fun of life.”

Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-aniston">Jennifer Aniston</a> says that modern audiences take issue with some of the jokes on the classic hit NBC comedy “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/friends">Friends</a>.”
The iconic series premiered in 1994 during a very different time. “There’s a whole generation of people, kids, who are now going back to episodes of ‘Friends’ and find them offensive,” Aniston told the Associated Foreign Press, per <a href="https://www.indiewire.com/2023/03/jennifer-aniston-friends-offensive-new-generations-1234823537/">IndieWire</a>. 
“There were things that were never intentional and others … well, we should have thought it through, but I don’t think there was a sensitivity like there is now,” the 54-year-old star continued. 
“<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/comedy">Comedy</a> has evolved, movies have evolved,” Aniston added. “Now it’s a little tricky because you have to be very careful, which makes it really hard for comedians, because the beauty of comedy is that we make fun of ourselves, make fun of life.”
The “Murder Mystery 2” actress went on to say how mockery was more tolerated back when the series was on TV. The last episode of &#8220;Friends&#8221; aired in 2004.
“You could joke about a bigot and have a laugh. That was hysterical. And it was about educating people on how ridiculous people were, and now we’re not allowed to do that,” she said. “Everybody needs funny! The world needs humor! We can’t take ourselves too seriously. Especially in the United States. Everyone is far too divided.”
Making politically incorrect jokes isn&#8217;t the only controversy surrounding “Friends.” Series co-creator Marta Kauffman apologized for a lack of “diversity” in the series, specifically because the six main cast members were all white.
“I’ve learned a lot in the last 20 years,” Kauffman said of only casting black actors in small parts. “Admitting and accepting guilt is not easy. It’s painful looking at yourself in the mirror. I’m embarrassed that I didn’t know better 25 years ago.”

She went on to pledge $4 million to aid black students at her alma mater, Brandeis University, as a form of atonement. 
“It took me a long time to begin to understand how I internalized systemic racism,” she said at the time. “I’ve been working really hard to become an ally, an anti-racist. And this seemed to me to be a way that I could participate in the conversation from a white woman’s perspective.”
Kauffman also apologized for “misgendering” a character’s trans-identifying father during one of the episodes. “We kept referring to [Helena] as ‘Chandler’s father,’ even though Chandler’s father was trans,” she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/next-on-the-friends-apology-tour-co-creator-regrets-misgendering-chandlers-dad">said</a>.
“Pronouns were not yet something that I understood, so we didn’t refer to that character as ‘she.’ That was a mistake.”

&#8220;Friends&#8221; actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-aniston" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Aniston</a> is blaming Vogue Magazine for taking away her ability to mock &#8220;Murder Mystery 2&#8221; costar and friend Adam Sandler.
Aniston explained during a Monday appearance on &#8220;The Tonight Show&#8221; with Jimmy Fallon that she used to chide Sandler — whom she&#8217;s known since she was just 20 years old — about his questionable fashion choices, but ever since Vogue named the &#8220;Happy Gilmore&#8221; star a &#8220;fashion icon,&#8221; her criticisms just don&#8217;t carry the weight that they used to.
The actress went on to describe a dinner in Italy with Sandler and his wife Jackie, noting that Jackie had been dressed up for the occasion and Sandler had been emphatically casual.
&#8220;Jackie looked beautiful in an eyelet dress. Her hair was done, and he shows up in basketball shorts,&#8221; Aniston explained. &#8220;Satin basketball shorts with white piping and Nike high tops. And turquoise velour Izod that had no relationship.&#8221;
&#8220;Now he&#8217;s like, &#8216;Vogue said I was amazing like this,’” Aniston continued. &#8220;So thanks, Vogue.&#8221;
According to the &#8220;We&#8217;re the Millers&#8221; star, the comedian often <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/03/22/jennifer-aniston-says-adam-sandler-slam-her-dates-what/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">got his jabs in</a> as well — usually with regard to whoever she happened to be dating at the time.
&#8220;Well, if I get anything from him, it&#8217;s &#8216;What are you doing?’” she intoned. &#8220;Usually based on someone I&#8217;m dating. &#8216;What are you doing? What&#8217;s wrong with you?’”
Despite the good-natured ribbing, Aniston and Sandler have <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/adam-sandler-jennifer-aniston-murder-mystery-b2305671.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">been friendly</a> since they first met at Los Angeles eatery Jerry&#8217;s Famous Deli — when she was 20 and he was 22 — and when they work together on films like the upcoming &#8220;Murder Mystery 2,&#8221; she often has to force him to take care of himself.

&#8220;He&#8217;s so concerned with taking care of everybody else, which he really does but he doesn&#8217;t take care of himself,&#8221; the actress said. &#8220;I have a little arsenal of herbs in my trailer and I make him smoothies when I can and give him all sorts of Chinese herbs when he is exhausted. I&#8217;m like the mobile pharmacy. Yeah, I&#8217;m the set medic.&#8221;
&#8220;Murder Mystery 2&#8221; is set for a <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15255288/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">March 31 streaming release</a> on Netflix.

&#8220;Sweet papa …⁣ John Anthony Aniston,&#8221; the actress captioned a photo of a young John Aniston holding her as a baby. ⁣&#8221;You were one of the most beautiful humans I ever knew. I am so grateful that you went soaring into the heavens in peace — and without pain. And on 11/11 no less! You always had perfect timing. That number will forever hold an even greater meaning for me now 🕊️I’ll love you till the end of time💔⁣Don’t forget to visit.&#8221;
&#8220;Days of Our Lives&#8221; executive producer Ken Corday <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/days-lives-john-aniston-dies-184640177.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued a statement</a> confirming the loss as well.
&#8220;It is with a heavy heart that we confirm the passing of one of our own — our beloved and legendary cast member and dear friend, John Aniston. It is truly unimaginable to think he won’t be stepping foot on our set again, but it’s comforting to all of us to know that he is at rest and no longer in pain. John was one of the best — kind, smart, witty and incredibly talented,&#8221; Corday wrote of his longtime star. &#8220;It is enormously fitting that he received the Emmy for Lifetime Achievement this past year. There is no question that all of us at Days will be mourning this great and profound loss. John was an icon, but even more so, he was a pillar of strength and unity for our Days of our Lives community. He, along with our Victor Kiriakis, will forever be in our hearts. Our love and support goes out to his family and all those who knew him.&#8221;
Fellow soap star Kyle Brandt also paid his respects, saying, &#8220;John Aniston was my TV dad for over 3 years. I was nervous. He was kind. And so, so funny. He is missed.&#8221;

Jennifer Aniston Posts Sweet Tribute Announcing Her Father’s Death

Jennifer Aniston Posts Sweet Tribute Announcing Her Father's Death

After years of speculation from fans, “Friends” star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-aniston">Jennifer Aniston</a> admitted that she did try to have children in the past but was ultimately unsuccessful.
The 53-year-old Emmy Award winner discussed her past desire to become a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/motherhood">mother</a> during a recent interview with <a href="https://www.allure.com/story/jennifer-aniston-december-2022-cover-interview">Allure</a>, saying that during her &#8220;late 30s, 40s” she’d “gone through really hard s***&#8221; involving infertility.
&#8220;I was trying to get pregnant. It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Aniston</a> told the publication. &#8220;All the years and years of speculation &#8230; It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it.&#8221;
&#8220;I would&#8217;ve given anything if someone had said to me, &#8216;Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.&#8217; You just don&#8217;t think it. So, here I am today,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;The ship has sailed.&#8221;
As for the ultimate outcome, the “Morning Show” actress said she has &#8220;zero regrets.&#8221;
Aniston went on to say that she&#8217;s in a good place right now and is &#8220;proud of my wrinkles and gray hair.&#8221; She also spoke about being relieved to be past her child-bearing years.
&#8220;I actually feel a little relief now because there is no more, &#8216;Can I? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.&#8217; I don&#8217;t have to think about that anymore,&#8221; she said.
Aniston addressed the media frenzy over whether she’d ever have kids. She recalled gossip magazines attributing her ambition and refusal to have children was the catalyst for her divorce from ex-husband Brad Pitt.
“God forbid a woman is successful and doesn’t have a child,” she told Allure. “And the reason my husband left me, why we broke up and ended our marriage, was because I wouldn’t give him a kid. It was absolute lies. I don’t have anything to hide at this point.”
Aniston has addressed the media speculation over her wanting kids multiple times before, alluding to the fact that she may have been trying to have children. 
&#8220;I used to take it all very personally — the pregnancy rumors and the whole &#8216;Oh, she chose career over kids&#8217; assumption,” she <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/feature/jennifer-aniston-interview-morning-show-friends-murder-mystery-sequel-1235058142/">told</a> The Hollywood Reporter in 2021. “It’s like, &#8216;You have no clue what’s going with me personally, medically, why I can’t … can I have kids?&#8217; They don’t know anything, and it was really hurtful and just nasty.”
She went on to compare herself to country singer Dolly Parton, who is also childless.
&#8220;It’s the same with Dolly Parton; Dolly Parton never had kids. But are people giving her s*** for it? No, no one’s tried to put her in a white picket fence,&#8221; Aniston said at the time.

Comedic actor <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/matthew-perry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew Perry</a> revealed that it was &#8220;Friends&#8221; costar <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/jannifer-aniston/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Aniston</a> who reached out to him the most during his battle with substance abuse, telling ABC&#8217;s Diane Sawyer that he was really &#8220;grateful&#8221; for her friendship.
Perry <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/10/21/matthew-perry-remembers-jennifer-aniston-called-him-out-for-alcohol-abuse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sat down</a> with Sawyer ahead of the November 1 release of his <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Friends-Lovers-Big-Terrible-Thing/dp/1250866448/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?gclid=Cj0KCQjwqc6aBhC4ARIsAN06NmNBu4XC5-SqZja4BZb5gpj3JBBrCQ7i2g-nZP8Qglev5YZt113IJvQaApXdEALw_wcB&amp;hvadid=604624408775&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvlocphy=9022368&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvrand=13204082600837209249&amp;hvtargid=kwd-1403237475992&amp;hydadcr=9997_13532475&amp;keywords=matthew+perry+book&amp;qid=1666456409&amp;qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjk1IiwicXNhIjoiMC42NyIsInFzcCI6IjAuNTMifQ%3D%3D&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;psc=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new book</a>, &#8220;Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir,&#8221; and he told the veteran journalist about his long battle with addiction — a battle that was raging even as he starred in a top-rated television show.

&#8220;Jennifer,&#8221; Sawyer prompted, and Perry nodded slowly, saying, &#8220;Jenny, yeah.&#8221;
&#8220;She says, &#8216;We know you&#8217;re drinking,'&#8221; Sawyer continued.
&#8220;Yeah. Imagine how scary a moment that was,&#8221; Perry replied. &#8220;She was the one that reached out the most. You know, I&#8217;m really grateful to her for that.&#8221;
The 53-year-old actor told Sawyer that he wrote the book because he felt like it was time to give back, and that he hoped by sharing his own journey, he could maybe reach others who were struggling in their own lives, saying, &#8220;It was important to me to do something that would help people.&#8221;

&#8220;At the time I should have been the toast of the town. I was in a dark room meeting nothing but drug dealers and completely alone,&#8221; he said, explaining that at one point he was taking up to 55 Vicodin in a single day — in addition to methadone, Xanax, and up to a full quart of vodka.
Perry says he nearly died when the years of opioid abuse caught up with him several years ago, causing a perforation in his colon.  He spent a number of weeks in the hospital and had to use a colostomy bag for an additional nine months — which he said was &#8220;hellish&#8221; because the bags had a tendency to break.
&#8220;My therapist said, &#8216;The next time you think about taking OxyContin, just think about having a colostomy bag for the rest of your life.&#8217; And a little window opened, and I crawled through it, and I no longer want OxyContin,&#8221; Perry told <a href="https://people.com/tv/matthew-perry-opens-up-about-addiction-new-memoir/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People Magazine</a>.

After “Friends” star Jennifer Aniston dissed celebrities such as Paris Hilton and Monica Lewinsky for becoming famous because of sexual escapades, fans belittled her comments, pointing out that Aniston’s path to fame was aided by the nepotism from famous parents.
Aniston, 53, made her comments in an interview with “Pam &amp; Tommy” star Sebastian Stan as part of the &#8220;Actors on Actors&#8221; interviews for <a href="https://variety.com/2022/tv/features/jennifer-aniston-sebastian-stan-friends-talking-penis-1235285039/">Variety</a>. The two discussed the sex tape made by Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee which served as the basis for the Hulu series.
Commenting on the 1990s, Aniston called them “the time when the internet really shaped a new culture about people becoming famous. This thing of people becoming famous for basically doing nothing. I mean — Paris Hilton, Monica Lewinsky, all those.”
“I always say I feel lucky that we got a little taste of the industry before it became what it is today, which is just different — more streaming services, more people,” she said. “You’re famous from TikTok. You’re famous from YouTube. You’re famous from Instagram. It’s sort of almost like it’s diluting our actor’s job.”
Some fans slammed Aniston on Twitter, noting that her father John had starred on “Days of Our Lives” while her mother Nancy Dow had starred in TV shows such as “The Beverly Hillbillies” and “The Wild Wild West.”

“She kind of has a point though. Trained actors and those just coming out of training have been getting sidelined for influencers with no training whatsoever for a while now.

After Johnny Depp won big in his defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard, some A-list celebrities showed support for the actor, including model Bella Hadid, actress Jennifer Aniston, and Heard&#8217;s &#8220;Aquaman&#8221; co-star Jason Momoa.
The jury found that Heard defamed Depp in an op-ed about domestic violence published in The Washington Post in 2018, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jury-awards-johnny-depp-15-million-but-hell-get-millions-less-heres-why">awarding the actor $15 million</a>. Heard was awarded $2 million over statements Depp lawyer Adam Waldman wrote about the actress allegedly intentionally messing up her apartment to stage a hoax against Depp.
A <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/jason-momoa-jennifer-aniston-and-the-celebs-who-liked-the-johnny-depp-amber-heard-verdict">report</a> from The Daily Beast confirmed that Hadid, Aniston, Zoe Saldana, Emma Roberts, Gemma Chan, Taika Waititi, Henry Golding, Joey King, and Riley Keough all &#8220;liked&#8221; an Instagram post from Depp about winning in the case and getting his &#8220;life back.&#8221;
Interestingly, while Momoa &#8220;liked&#8221; Depp&#8217;s post, he also liked Heard&#8217;s post complaining about the verdict.
The report noted that other celebrities, including Florence Pugh and Dakota and Elle Fanning, added a heart emoji to a post from Greg Williams Photography, which featured a portrait of Depp and the hashtag &#8220;#youcantkeepagoodmandown.&#8221;
&#8220;Naomi Campbell, Pretty Little Liars alum Ashley Benson, and the DJ Zedd all responded to Depp’s post with heart emojis, as did Ryan Adams, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by a number of women, including Phoebe Bridgers and Mandy Moore,&#8221; the report added.
Depp&#8217;s Instagram post said he was &#8220;humbled&#8221; by the verdict and slammed the media for peddling false claims about him.
&#8220;Six years later, the jury gave me my life back,&#8221; the &#8220;Pirates of the Caribbean&#8221; actor wrote. &#8220;I am truly humbled.&#8221;
Depp went on to say his life was turned upside-down when Heard launched her accusations against him, fingering the media for perpetuating the lies.
&#8220;False, very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media, which triggered an endless barrage of hateful content, although no charges were ever brought against me,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;It had already traveled around the world twice within a nanosecond and it had a seismic impact on my life and my career.&#8221;
Depp added that he pursued the case in the first place to &#8220;reveal the truth.&#8221;
During the six-week trial, Heard detailed serious allegations of abuse at the hands of Depp, saying he penetrated her with a possibly broken Maker&#8217;s Mark bottle.
Depp and his legal team denied all allegations and told the jury that Heard perpetrated a #MeToo hoax to take from Depp, and also to punish him for leaving her.

Jennifer Aniston definitely got everyone&#8217;s attention when she cracked a joke about how she dealt with the end of her hit series &#8220;Friends&#8221; by deciding to &#8220;just end everything,&#8221; which she explained included divorcing then-husband Brad Pitt.
During the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-ellen-degeneres-show-airs-final-episode-she-recalls-how-much-show-has-changed-since-the-start">final episode</a> of &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuxqL5IsiOc">The Ellen Show</a>&#8221; Thursday, host Ellen DeGeneres asked the &#8220;Horrible Bosses&#8221; star about the end of NBC&#8217;s hit show &#8220;Friends,&#8221; which aired its final episode in 2004 after 10 seasons.
&#8220;Oh, where does 19 years go?&#8221; Aniston quipped in reference to DeGeneres&#8217; 19 seasons on air, after the host noted that the 53-year-old actress had been on the show 20 times. &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand.&#8221;
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Jennifer Aniston Dealt with &#039;Friends&#039; End with Divorce &amp; Therapy" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CuxqL5IsiOc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
DeGeneres then asked about the ending of Friends and how the actress dealt with it.
&#8220;Well, I got a divorce and went into therapy,&#8221; Aniston replied. &#8220;Oh! And then I did a movie called &#8216;The Break-Up.&#8217; I just kinda leaned into the end. I just was like, &#8216;You know what, guys? Let&#8217;s make this a completely new chapter. Let&#8217;s just end everything and then start new.&#8217; It worked great.&#8221;
Aniston and Pitt were married from 2000 to 2005. She went on to marry and divorce Justin Theroux. Pitt was later married to Angelina Jolie from 2014-2019 before their divorce was official.
&#8220;Now you and Portia, no, no,&#8221; she added, mentioning DeGeneres&#8217; wife Portia de Rossi.
Aniston asked DeGeneres if she &#8220;had any ideas of what she wanted&#8221; to do next now that the show is over.
&#8220;No,&#8221; DeGeneres explained. &#8220;I know I want to just lay low for awhile. I wanna rest and then I will do something again. I don&#8217;t know what it is yet.&#8221;
Aniston then made a few suggestions as she explained that she would love to see DeGeneres go back and do stand-up. When she dropped the idea of DeGeneres doing some acting, however, the host seemed definitely less thrilled.
On DeGeneres&#8217; final episode, clips of the host&#8217;s various entrances over the last 19 years on the air played. In her final monologue, she reflected on how much has changed since that first day, as The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-ellen-degeneres-show-airs-final-episode-she-recalls-how-much-show-has-changed-since-the-start">reported</a>.
&#8220;When we started this show, I couldn&#8217;t say &#8216;gay&#8217; on the show,&#8221; Ellen shared. &#8220;I was not allowed to say &#8216;gay.&#8217; I said it at home a lot. &#8216;What are we having for our gay breakfast?&#8217; Or &#8216;pass the gay salt.&#8217; [Or] &#8216;Has anyone seen the gay remote?&#8217; — things like that.&#8221;
&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t say we, because that implied that I was with someone,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Sure couldn&#8217;t say wife, that&#8217;s because it wasn&#8217;t legal for gay people to get married. And now I say wife all the time. Twenty five years ago they canceled my sitcom because they didn&#8217;t want a lesbian to be in primetime once a week. So I said, &#8216;Ok, I&#8217;ll be in daytime every day, how &#8217;bout that?'&#8221;

‘Let’s Just End Everything’: Jennifer Aniston Cracks Joke About Dealing With End Of ‘Friends’ With Brad Pitt Divorce

Jennifer Aniston Cracks Joke About Dealing With End Of ‘Friends’ With Brad Pitt Divorce

Swiping at anti-abortion laws, former “Friends’ star Jennifer Aniston, echoing a moment during the series where her character Rachel told Ross “no uterus, no opinion,” <a href="https://www.republicworld.com/entertainment-news/hollywood-news/jennifer-aniston-on-new-texas-abortion-law-no-uterus-no-opinion.html">wrote</a> on Instagram, “I repeat &#8230;  no uterus, no opinion.”
In June 2019, Aniston <a href="https://variety.com/2019/scene/news/jennifer-aniston-georgia-abortion-bill-murder-mystery-1203239192/">supported Netflix</a>, which said it would pull production from Georgia if an anti-abortion bill passed there. She stated, “I think it’s fantastic. Good for them. They have the voices, they have the power, and that’s the way you have change happen.”
Aniston joins President Biden, who said on September 2 after the Supreme Court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-rejects-abortion-providers-request-to-stay-texas-heartbeat-law">declined</a> to stay a Texas law effectively banning most abortions after six weeks in a 5-4 decision that the “extreme Texas law blatantly violates the constitutional right established under Roe v. Wade and upheld as precedent for nearly half a century.”
Biden added, “My administration is deeply committed to the constitutional right established in Roe v. Wade nearly five decades ago and will protect and defend that right.”
According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/01/health/texas-abortion-law-facts.html">The New York Times</a>:
<blockquote>The Texas law bars state officials from actually enforcing it, a design intended to make it difficult to challenge in the courts. Usually a lawsuit aiming to block such a law as unconstitutional names state officials as defendants. Instead, the Texas law deputizes private citizens to sue anyone who performs an abortion or “aids and abets” a procedure. Plaintiffs who have no connection to the patient or the clinic may sue and recover legal fees, as well as $10,000 if they win.</blockquote>
The Biden administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-sues-texas-for-law-protecting-unborn-babies-with-heart-activity-clearly-unconstitutional">announced</a> on September 9 that it was taking legal action against the state of Texas.
The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-administration-expected-to-file-suit-soon-challenging-texas-abortion-law-11631205764">reported</a>, “The case sets up a federal-state clash over the future of abortion rights, and a test of whether the department can upend a state law that Texas lawmakers drafted in a manner that makes it difficult for abortion-rights advocates to challenge the ban in court. The Biden administration has faced pressure from Democrats and abortion-rights groups to take action to stop the Texas restrictions after the Supreme Court last week allowed them to take effect.”
Meanwhile, Attorney General Merrick Garland <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-sues-texas-for-law-protecting-unborn-babies-with-heart-activity-clearly-unconstitutional">stated</a>, “[Texas Heartbeat Act] is clearly unconstitutional under long-standing Supreme Court precedent. Those precedents hold in the words of Planned Parenthood versus Casey, that quote, regardless of whether exceptions are made for particular circumstances, a state may not prohibit any woman from making the ultimate decision to terminate her pregnancy before viability.”
On Friday, William T. Thompson, a lawyer for the state of Texas, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/01/us/politics/texas-abortion-law-hearing.html">told</a> Judge Robert L. Pitman, that the federal government could not argue in the case against the Texas law because the law did not damage the government. He stated, “If the Texas Heartbeat Act actually, you know, created a liability for the federal government, there would be at least a potential injury there that would be worth litigating. But the Heartbeat Act doesn’t do that.”
