Jennifer Aniston desires to end cancel culture: ‘I’m done with it’
Actress Jennifer Aniston Speaks Out Against Cancel Culture
Actress Jennifer Aniston recently expressed her frustration with cancel culture, stating, “I’m so over cancel culture. I probably just got canceled by saying that. I just don’t understand what it means.”
Questioning the Lack of Redemption
The Friends star raised an important question about the absence of redemption in cancel culture, particularly when reflecting on her experience with former movie producer Harvey Weinstein, who was convicted of rape. Aniston wondered, “Is there no redemption? I don’t know. I don’t put everybody in the Harvey Weinstein basket.”
Aniston had worked with Weinstein on the film Derailed in 2005, following her iconic role as Rachel in Friends. While she did not have a personal story of sexual misconduct involving Weinstein, she recalled being cautious and taking measures to protect herself.
She shared, “He’s not a guy you’re like, ‘God, I can’t wait to hang out with Harvey.’ Never. You were actually like, ‘Oh, God, OK, suck it up.’ I remember actually, he came to visit me on a movie to pitch me a movie. And I do remember consciously having a person stay in my trailer.”
A Successful Career Despite Challenges
Since her time working with Weinstein, Aniston has gone on to star in numerous successful films such as We’re the Millers, Cake, He’s Just Not That Into You, and Murder Mystery. Currently, she stars in and executive produces the Apple Original series The Morning Show, where she portrays journalist Alex Levy.
Aniston reflected on her journey, stating, “There was a time in my world, my career, where I realized it’s not being aggressive or combative or bitchy or emotional to stand up for what you deserve and what you want. It’s a tough muscle to build. And also be loved and respected. It’s hard to achieve.”
A Supportive Environment on The Morning Show
Aniston is joined by Reese Witherspoon in The Morning Show, a series that emphasizes a predominantly female creative team. Aniston highlighted the importance of understanding, compassion, and consideration among women in the industry, stating, “Being that we’re female, there’s a level of understanding, compassion, and consideration that I think doesn’t always exist amongst the dudes. It was one of our big rules up front. No a**holes.”
The Morning Show holds significant meaning for Aniston as a producer, representing a milestone in her career. She expressed her excitement, saying, “This is very big-girl. This is the first real big show that was sold to Apple… And we kind of felt like we were all partnering up together and launching this new maiden voyage together.”
