Us Weekly has an interesting little non-story in this week’s print edition. According to a source on the production of Wanderlust, Jennifer Aniston was not everybody’s “friend” on set. Allegedly, she wouldn’t even walk from her trailer to the set without a coterie of bodyguards and “buffers”. So peasants wouldn’t talk to her! Of course, Aniston’s rep is denying this. It’s become increasingly more and more interesting what Aniston’s rep will and will not deny, isn’t it? The rep will deny a random report that Aniston wouldn’t mingle with peasants, but her rep won’t give one comment about the Chelsea Handler situation, or any kind of apology for saying “retard”. Fascinating.
Don’t stand so close to me! An insider on the set of Jennifer Aniston’s 2011 flick Wanderlust, filmed this fall, tells Hot Stuff, “It was an unspoken thing that you couldn’t get within 20 feet of Jennifer. She surrounded herself with a ring of buffers at all times. She traveled with them from her trailer to the set and back.”
(Aniston’s rep calls the report “false” and says, “Jennifer had a blast filming Wanderlust.”)
Still, Aniston may soon need to shed any personal-space issues, as another source says she is considering moving from LA to the New York City. Aniston even checked out real estate in NYC on December 11.
“Jennifer took a broker and was looking at chic apartments in Greenwich Village,” says the insider. Relocation plans aren’t shocking: Aniston grew up in the city and has spent much of the last few years filming The Switch and The Bounty Hunter in NYC as well as performing in the 24 Hour Plays on Broadway.
Adds the insider, “She thinks dating will be easier in Manhattan!”
[From Us Weekly, print edition]
The “report” that Aniston is going to move to New York pops up like three times a year. I wouldn’t be shocked if Aniston bought a home in New York – she has more money than God, after all – but I doubt she’s “moving” to NYC. She’s a California girl. And she doesn’t like change.
As far as the report about Aniston and her “buffers” – well, whatever. I think she probably does have a lot of bodyguards when she’s working, but she probably needs them. Also, I don’t really see how “it was an unspoken thing” becomes “it was Aniston’s official policy to never deign to speak to any peasant.” Non-story.

I actually knew someone who did some work on the set of Marley & Me and said the same exact thing. No talking or looking at her was allowed. I have to say I don’t blame her though, everything she says or does ends up in the tabs.
But yeah she needs to apologize for saying the ‘R’ word.
Her makeup artist needs to teach Kate Middlteon how to line her eyes.
When was the last time she did something “great”, besides marrying Brad?
She needs to get over herself. Aren’t her 15 minutes of fame up yet?
And in an ironic twist of fate Jen can’t seem to get within 20 feet of any man worth dating.
@Stronzilla: LOL!!
Remember the pictures earlier this year of her stalker’s car? Beyond creepy and scary. Can’t blame her one bit for having a multitude of people around her.
I don’t understand why she has to apologize for anything.
Whatever happened to freedom of speech? It’s ridiculous now. ‘R Word’ indeed. It is ‘retard’ for goodness sake. And it has more meanings than the one. What is next? Orwellian New Speak?
Seriously.
Why should she have to mingle with people when she is working on a film set? If I was here, I’d do the same thing. Everything she says or does is always twisted into the Jolie-Pitt vortex, that rivals the Bermuda Triangle, to come out as some distorted love triangle BS, that I bet is manufactured and spat out by Jolie Inc.
Even today, as I was picking up last minute groceries, I saw yet another Aniston vs Jolie fabricated story in one of the Australian magazines at the checkout. It’s insane.
Non story. I do agree with you Kaiser that her rep seems to pick and choose what he denies, which seems very strange to me. Either speak up about every negative story or don’t speak up ever about anything. But, whatever. Obviously a slow news week.
I actually knew someone who did some work on the set of Marley & Me and said the same exact thing. No talking or looking at her was allowed.
************
I worked on a set with her (Bruce Almighty and Friends with Money), too and saw and found no such thing. I’m not her biggest fan, but reports out of the Wanderlust set say the exact opposite, especially from people in town. Sure she has security, she was stalked by a scary ass guy, but she never went overboard with it in the past. Still, whatever. I’m still annoyed about the R word.
read my post below… sorry.. duplicate!
Looks like she’s had some work done in the picture with the cell phone, her eyes look different. May just be the angle.
I don’t care about the ‘retard’ thing so much, everyone I know has said it by mistake at least once, but she is older and should know better. I’m not sure why idiot, moron, and imbecile get a pass though, when they’re just classifications of mental retardation.
We seem to pick and choose what we find really offensive- I think we give words too much power nowadays and get offended way too easily. But then I’m not mentally challenged myself, and I don’t know how I would feel about it if I were.
lmao @ stronzilla
She does look good in leggings.
When I first read this title, I thought it said that she would not allow “PHEASANTS” to get 20 feet from her.
I wondered to myself, self, why would she have farmers on the payroll everyday to keep Pheasants 20 feet away?????
Anywho.. @ Stronzilla….LOL
Didn’t take long for some to make this about Angelina. hmmm Brad said he fell in love too. Why no uncool comment about him.
6 years and counting. And if Brad is so ugly then maybe her fans should stop trashing him and his family. OH and stop saying he is going back to her.. MOVE ON.
I’m not a fan and don’t believe any tabloid crap printed. That my take on any Tabloid story. FAKE until I find out otherwise.
I don’t blame her in the least for having lots of muscle around her, particularly with her having had a recent brush with the insanity that’s out there.
@Min76 – “No talking or looking at her was allowed.”
Just out of curiousity, how exactly was that enforced?! While you can prevent people from talking to you, I guess, the ‘not looking’ is a little more difficult to police, no?
I think she should apologise for saying retard but only for publicities sake. i mean she wasn’t referring to someone with learning disabilities, it’s just an alternative for stupid.
@Shay, I just fell in love with you. 100% agreement here.
If I was an famous actor on a set, the last thing I would want, is a multitude of extras coming up to me to say hello or tell me how they’re a fan. If she has this rule, I don’t blame her one little bit.
WHAT??! I new someone that worked w/her & I asked for the “dirt”! They said she was super sweet & nice. Not a diva at all. Just what I heard…..
@shay —
You’re making far too much sense. Please stop, as my brain is beginning to hurt.
Even though I think Aniston is soooo over paid and over rated,I think US weekly is a piece of garbage that contrived this fictitious drama to sell magazines.
I do however get fed up with Aniston’s PR team creating faux romances with costars and perpetuating the innocent victim image to sell her movies and to keep her relevant. She would have been Hollywood history years ago if it weren’t for her PR team’s creative marketing techniques. No wonder Handler signed on with Aniston’s PR buddies.
@Whitenoise the no looking/talking clause is actually very common and easy to enforce the actor(or sometimes director) stipulates it and says something whenever they feel its going on. I actually agree you with the recent scary stalker incident there would be every reason to be even more private.
@ Liana considering all the media attention happened after those movies that may be why.
Shay:

that I bet is manufactured and spat out by Jolie Inc.
That’s where ya lost me. You were making sense up until then. It’s the same thing over & over. People either think it’s JA’s people dishing out this shit or AJ/BP’s. Most likely it’s both. And despite your best efforts, you just fell into the same trap about which you’re complaining. You can’t get all sanctimonious about Jen then turn around & spew the same tired bullshit at AJ/BP. Well, you CAN, but it just marks you as a hypocrite with an obvious agenda.
But whatever *yawn*
All the people who see nothing wrong with the “R” word obviously do not have an “R” person as a loved one. I have two of them: my sister, who is a “retard” as you all so sweetly phrase it, and my son, who is autistic, and has that word lashed at him. I wish you could feel for one second the pain they feel when someone uses that word in front of them. You would never babble about freedom of speech again.
Is my iPhone messing with me or did us weekly delete this story from their site? I can’t seem to find it.
Us wekly is full of Shyte
This girl can never win can she….sigh
I still dont understand why she needs to apologize for saying retarded. Conan said it in a skit with Martha Stewart and RDJ said it in Tropic Thunder.Maybe it is because they are actually funny and she isnt.
@Cowjam thanks for your story
@lu I think the idea is she presents herself as “minivan”,the family friendly girl next door and then on morning TV uses an epitaph in casual conversation it’s jarring and hurtful. Conan is a late night comic and Tropic Thunder was an R rated movie.
I can totally understand that.
“Prince” was like that also, back in the day.
I don’t blame her.
I’m sorta like that now & nobody even knows me!!!!
@Liana: “I worked on a set with her (Bruce Almighty and Friends with Money), too and saw and found no such thing.”
Those movies filmed over 5 or 6 years ago, I suspect people can change in so many years.
That being said, I think this is a BS story, or at least a non story.
This is an unfair angle to play against Aniston imo. If she has a stalker, maybe she just feels safer this way, who could blame her?
‘Rumors from the set stories’ are almost always spread by people who want to seem important and in the know when they aren’t. The people who are, sure as hell wouldn’t waste their time commenting to a gossip rag. A ‘source’ from the set is probably someone who brought her coffee or more likely got no where near her at all.
There are much bigger stars out there, real A-Listers, who never use bodyguards. They also have their fill of crazy people who go overboard with pushing rumors around the web, and they have stalkers. Only difference: they don’t go public with the stalker situation, in order to not give them any kind of acknowledgment. And one of the guys I’m thinking of is also represented by Huvane, among others. So I guess it all depends on the client what gets refuted and what doesn’t get any press at all.
I have read numerous times from people that have actually met JA, that she is a really nice person. But don’t let the “truth” get in the way of the hating for this woman folks. *I’m talking to you Cheyenne*
I totally believe this story about Jennifer Aniston, look at the company she keeps chelsea Handler, and the retard slur, that’s who she is in private and the only reason she is distancing hersef from Handler is because what she is in private has come to light in public. Anyone who would befriend a person who picks on the children of their rival is a self-centered pathetc jerk.
This is the most ridiculous story I ever saw….all of her co stars only had good things to say about her….US Weekly…really??? do they ever write the truth about anything???
I totally believe this, Jentard seems full of herself. The funny thing is only Chelsea Handler wants to get close to her.
Oh please! everyone has used this word at some point in their lifetime. Give me a break. I guess all of you are just such politically correct people and have never been associated with a friend that has turned out to be an a$$. And have had to let them go. And have never spoken ill of anyone, right? that is why you are in a gossip site. Because you never gossip!
Would you want a bunch of people drooling and touching all over you? No, if you were in her shoes, you wouldn’t.
She’s a beautiful, funny actress. So what if she has body guards. I can see why this was a “non story”. It’s not newsworthy.
She was in a marriage. Why do people act like 5 years is a long time to get over something like that? Even if she was over Brad even during their marriage, she still got bested by a younger woman–in front of every one. She’s handled it with dignity.
Her new hair looks awesome.
The end.
Jentard has not handled her break up with dignity. She is still crying and whinning over a man, that dumped her 5 years ago. Where is her dignity, where is her pride? Jennifer , Brad does not want you, no man wants you, be happy with Chelsea.
Chelsea loves and wants you very much. Love the one you are with.
Same shite…different day!
Not surprising. Denzel Washington was on a studio set working w/actors and peasants for one whole month and felt he needed a bodyguard and would not acknowledge said peasants even when they stepped aside for him to move through. On the other hand John Travolta on the same set had NO bodyguard and walked up to everyone he saw with his hand out and introduced himself. Quite a contrast.
@Heavenbound (I doubt that). 1. I think that kindness and empathy are inherent human qualities, not necessarily
politically expedient.
2. I enjoy this particular gossip site (as well as Dlisted and Gawker) because it is the antithesis of Perez Hilton, and because I think we tend to idolize celebrities who may not always be kind or empathetic.
Her upper eye lid lift looks good. Opens her eyes up and makes her look a little younger/more refreshed. I just wish she would stop chipping away at her nose. Its starting to look weird a la Katie Holmes.
Kind of dont blame stars who barricade themselves otherwise people would be bugging them constantly. Some extras try and get on movies of the stars they like so they can talk to them & some are borderline stalkerish.
Unless its children, who i think celebs should always give autographs & speak to, then who cares if she wasnt that talkative with the extras on set.
Three comments in and the hate and mention of Brad crop up.
I think she’s whatever, I never really see her films but I don’t understand why she can’t be discussed with her ex or her love life being brought up.
The same seems to be true with any and all Angelina and/or Brad stories. Hate and inexplicable association.
Unbelieveable–she can address every silly rumor out there, but says nothing about using the word, retard. She’s on the Lily Claire Foundation which is against using words that demean others. If she’s their representative, then she should have briefly addressed it. I don’t understand why she wouldn’t say something? If you mess up, fess up. It’s not that hard.
And not all her co-stars say good things about her. Jay Mohr talked about how she demeaned him on-set and said nasty things about him right in front of others. So who knows what she’s really like? She does hang out with Chelsea Handler after all. It seems like she’s not as nice as she pretends to be. Who knows.
Jentard’s own family does not love her. It is strange that she spents every holiday, with so call friends and not with her own family.
Jennifer has a half brother, a step brother, mother and father, yet she is always going to Mexico with so call friends.
If Jennifer has to pay for the plane tickets, the hotel rooms , all the food, well the people she is traveling with are not friends, they are hanger ons.
Seems my favorite “Friend” is still being hounded by the Ghosts of Divorce Past AND Unfounded Speculation as yet another Yuletide season is upon us….Scrooge got off lucky.
kendra, that’s just unnecessary. For some people, their friends are their family and it’s beyond rude and cruel to insinuate that someone’s family doesn’t love them. You don’t know her situation with her family members.
Anyway, this is definitely a non-story. Everyone who has worked with her in the past has said that she was nice and easy to get along with. Joy Mohr’s career tanked and he decided to try to lift his career up by tearing someone in the Triangle down. Didn’t work, did it? Probably because everyone else knew it wasn’t true.
And she shouldn’t have to apologize for using retard. She used in a throwaway manner towards herself meaning she had done something stupid. She didn’t call an actually mentally challenged person retarded. She didn’t say it in a derogatory manner. Let it go people. You’re making it into something way bigger than it was.
Kendra honey, it is time to MOVE on! Your disgust for this woman is overwhelming and so very transparent. This has nothing to with your saint, precious.
Edit: Jennifer looks great and after all that she has been through with the psycho stalker, I can’t say that I blaame her!
Redlips honey, tell that to your idol, Jentard. Yes it has been 5 years and it is time for the loney, bitter hag to move on and yet Jentard has not.
I’m just telling the truth, no man wants your idol (Jentard), she has been used and dumped by how many men, I have lost count.
Her own family has nothing to do with her. She has to pay for everyone to go on vacation with her( and she always has a camera rolling) to prove to everyone that she has friends.
Sorry I guess the truth hurts. Saint Jen does not quite measure up.
Now her family doesn’t love her? The delusional pretending to “know” the lives of celebrities in the comments here are hysterical. Better than anything on TV!
As for Jay Mohr, when did he work with her? Wasn’t it on an early movie that was filmed while Friends was still on? I’m afraid Jay is a has been either with an agenda or just craving any kind of attention.
It’s just as delusional to pretend that you KNOW with absolute certainty that she’s nice, that Jay Mohr only said those things about her because he’s jealous or whatever–as if YOU KNOW for certain. No one knows her or Jay Mohr behind closed doors. But there is evidence to suggest she’s not as nice as she pretends to be==people have said she’s difficult, and she does hang with Chelsea Handler. I also remember an ex saying she’s difficult, too. She may not be as nice as people think. The fact that some of you act like your point of view is the ABSOLUTE truth makes you delusional, too. It’s all speculation and opinion, basically.
If she didn’t have a 20 foot rule and I was around her, I’d have to give her a hug. I need to stop reading any threads about AJ vs JA because it’s the comments that drive me crazy.
I don’t care about either but to hear so many women go off on JA and call her sad, or pathetic, or crying over Brad is insane. It makes me have compassion for her because she is being hated for her marriage ending? Or for holidaying with friends? My husband ran off. It happens. And when people ask, I tell them that he was being a douche. But I no longer care and I’m beyond it. Why can’t that be the case with JA?
Call her out for the R word – because that is deserved.
Anyways, I give up. It just seems so irrational to me.
America’s sweetheart my a$$
@ cow(brain)-Jam
I love how you show your empathy and human qualities throwing a swipe at someone you don’t even know.
I don’t care about either but to hear so many women go off on JA and call her sad, or pathetic, or crying over Brad is insane. It makes me have compassion for her because she is being hated for her marriage ending?
********************
Exactly. I guess the Brangeloonies hate her for meeting and marrying Brad long before Angelina met him. How dare she! *eyeroll* The delusional hate spewing does make me feel for her.
As pretentious as she seems in interviews sometimes,her movie roles don’t appear she is. She seems to have some sort of stripper complex about her body,perhaps because her man left her and her non-traditional beauty (would love to see her without that hair to constantly stroke). I would imagine that same mentality carries over with men as they get bored with strippers quickly too.
Roma, Jentard is sad, pathetic and is still crying over Brad. How long is she going to ” scream at the ocean” over her failed marriage. Is this lonely loser, the only woman that has ever had a failed marriage?
Jentard did not even invite her mother to her wedding. It was karma, that it did not last. It is karma that no man wants her and her family will have nothing to do with her. You can not treat people like dirt and expect good things to happen to you.
The fact that so many bad things are happening in her life and the people she has to hang with now, just shows what a hateful , nasty person Jentard is.
Wow….”Jentard.”
And you’re calling her inconsiderate and mean for using the “R-word.”
#criticalthinkingisdead
Time for some therapy, Kendra. Wow.
There are several accounts of fans while she was still married to Pitt that she was not accommodating to fans and sometimes downright nasty. Maybe she has mellowed a bit now. But she used to have that rep of being “unfriendly” to fans and the “little people”. She also has a very large entourage (bodyguards, acting coach,the twins stylist, hair guy, make-up artist and the famous enablers on her side who I think take turns on their “hand-holding” duties…..I’m talking about Andrea B. K. Hahn, Mandy E. the yoga chick) around her so fans rarely comes close for a meet and greet or autographs and several accounts of fans being disappointed on her sets.
Her flack has the rep of running interference for his clients. Huvane employs the “hyperbole” in terms of media exposure as far as Aniston is concerned. You can see him now doing the heavy push for Paltrow but it’s still somewhat measured compared to Aniston’s. In contrast, you don’t see that kind of approach for his other clients like Julianne Moore, Helen Hunt or even the more talented Anne Hathaway (compared to Aniston). He can be controlling but none of the savvy and industry respect of a Pat Kingsley, the late Ronni Chasen, Warren Cowan to name a few. Charlie Sheen’s shenanigans is a PR nightmare, but you don’t see the obvious hand being played by Stan Rosenfield. Huvane is also known to be a major liar and his ploys are now so obvious and played out he’s being called by the media and the PR industry itself. This is probably why Inter-Public did not go out of their way to keep him during the merger of BNC with PMK/HBH.
She is sad and pathetic for listenning to old messages of her then husband and TELLING it to the world.
She is sad and pathetic for refering to her mental health after her 5 years divorce with the 5 years spring cleansing after Brad quote, this year and after saying before that, that it was a 100 year divorce and that she was fine.
Sorry but in my book, that specific behaviour is pathetic for ANY woman and she won’t get a pass from me on this because she is Jennifer Aniston and she must be handled like a foetus.
Nobody said she was a whore or calling her names, at least I don’t and i don’t think she is a whore either.
Her behaviour, at her age towards her divorce is pathetic to the core and only feed inner bitterness and regrets.
Hence you drag to your next relationship emotional unresolved baggages along with the shadow of your ex.
Frankly saying things like this PUBLICLY it’s self sabotaging your own future relationships. It’s like saying to other men : sorry folks, there is still my ex’s shadow in my life, hence there is no place for you at this point.
Imagine you are in a relationship and your woman/man has not only kept vocal messages of an ex, but she/he listens to them and makes reference of him/her, dismissing the others in between ! What would you conclude ? That your man/woman is not over that person yet !
If she was smart she wouldn’t at least advertise it.
Anyone of your entourage who will act this way would automatically have people frowning in disbeleive or saying to her to stop that obsessive behaviour and that person will certainly have problems with the current girlfriend/boyfriend who will not accept to share his couple with someone ele’s shadow.
She is a weak woman who lives in the past and feeds her own suffering and bitterness with behaviours like these.
tell that to your idol, Jentard
************
Wow… I see we’re on the playground again.
I actually DID meet Jennifer and she was nice. She also met my autistic sister and was really nice to her. My issue with her casually using the word “retard” was that words have power, whether we think they should or not. She compared herself to one who is retarded (“like a retard” was her line) and people like my sister, who is high functioning enough to understand, asked me “why is Jen calling herself a retard? That’s not a cool thing to call anyone.” THAT’S my problem with her not addressing it at all.
I don’t like this fake story. It sets Jennifer up for negative comments from folks who don’t have a clue what she’s like and have no compassion about how it feels to be called insulting names day after day by strangers.
Whatever-
Jen has been benefitted just fine riding the coattails of Brad/Angie’s career/personal life because the public felt sorry for her about her divorce. Again, she is still best known as the ex-wife of Brad Pitt in the absence of any stellar acting performance recognized by her peers. There is nothing else more relevant going on in her life that trumps the drama of the triangle. It is what it is.
She was stalked, so it is a good idea to beef up the security. Smart move.
I still find her suspect because she thought it was a good idea to date John Mayer …at age 40. And at age 41, she thought it was a good idea to hang out with Chelsea over the Thanksgiving holiday, knowing the kind of trifling and perverted “thoughts” this woman has.
Speaking of stalking, Brad/Angie do not benefit in any way from an association with Aniston.
BTW, it’s easy to conclude that Aniston still talks about her exes to her friends and keep tabs on what’s going on with their lives. Her acting coach even follows a fake Shiloh twitter account.
*****
Jennifer Aniston’s Acting Coach Tweets About Her Exes, Vince Vaughn & Brad Pitt!
Why do Jen’s friends keep blabbing about Brad? She needs to find a new crowd!
OK, here’s a weird little coincidence: Jennifer Aniston’s ex-boyfriend Vince Vaughn became a first-time father to a baby girl Dec. 18 — the same birthday as Jen’s ex-husband, Brad Pitt! What’s even weirder is that a friend of Jen’s is the one who first pointed out the bizarre situation.Jen’s longtime acting coach Leigh K. Smith tweeted the following message to Good Day LA co-host Dorothy Lucey: “btw, in the file marked ‘weird’ vince vaughans daughter was born on brad Pitts birthday. Please don’t retweet this, thanks.”
Wow! Why can’t Jen’s friends — first Chelsea Handler and now Leigh – stop talking about Brad? Is this more proof that the starlet still wants him back?

Josephina
Enjoyed your post.
So much info.
Thanks.
It doesn’t really matter what I or any of us really think about the word retarded.
What DOES matter is that other people frequently find it offensive and demeaning and the word does have derogatory implications so why would you want to spew forth with it, knowing it offends others – and when we have so many more sensible words to draw from?
It strikes me as very self-centred to dispel this argument by saying “Well it doesn’t offend me / PC gone too far” etc. The world is not about YOU, learn empathy.
As for Jen – apologize.
Maybe she hangs out with Joe Francis and Chelsea Handler to try and decompress from always being nice. With them she can get all the meanness out and go on with her life. I mean we all compartmentalize our lives, maybe she does the same with her friends. She mentioned that she was friends with her switch co-star many years ago when he was a mean alcoholic so maybe she doesn’t judge. Jodie Foster is friends with Mel Gibson, an anti-semitic homphobe that doesn’t make her one. I don’t much like the woman and I think she’s smarter than people give her credit for which is why there’s no real dirt on her and she can get away with virtually anything I think.
Wish people would quit saying she’s a helpless little girl. She’s a full grown woman for petes sakes. This playing the victim has taken a toll on her image but she’s done it to herself.
?Still don’t know why one would post such an ugly profile pic of themselves. Bwahahah yuck
She’s mad because i walked up to her, turned around and farted in her general direction. You should have seen her gagging.
While she doesn’t seem very approachable, I’ve never heard anything bad about an experience with her, from fans or costars. This seems like yet another tabloid story about someone they know will sell copies.
As for the R word, did she HAVE to apologize? No. Should she have? Yes.
And how is referring to JA as “Jentard” any better than JA calling herself a retard?
Oh Operetta: The tweet says everything about the guy who tweeted it, and not anything about JA.
@nnn: Can you provide a link to all that supposed JA interview where she talks so much about Brad? TIA.
Oh yeah, and @Kendra: Your senseless name calling (Jen’tard’ indeed) and obvious intense hatred is stirring up some lost sympathy for JA. Good work sweetie.
Hamm is My Dream Man said ” . . .she shouldn’t have to apologize for using retard. She used in a throwaway manner towards herself meaning she had done something stupid. She didn’t call an actually mentally challenged person retarded. She didn’t say it in a derogatory manner.”
Wow! This just sails right over your head doesn’t it? The way Aniston used the term is EXACTLY why it is a slur to persons with disabilities. Aniston was saying she did something stupid just like “retards” do stupid things. See, I’m stupid just like those “retards.” Ha ha.
Man, how can you fail to understand this? You need sensitivity training yourself. Her failure to apologize is so egregious that it boggles the mind. And do not compare her situation with someone who uses it in private – that’s thoughtless and ignorant as it is. But Aniston is a well known public figure and she committed this thoughtless faux pas on daytime TV before a national audience. I personally think it reveals her truer self but that’s not important. What IS important is that she caused pain to millions of people and offended millions of others and any decent person would have apologized – immediately. No excuses.
skibunny said “And how is referring to JA as “Jentard” any better than JA calling herself a retard?”
Because the poster is using the term to call out Aniston for using the word “retard.” It’s a taunt to remind people of what Aniston did. Get it now?
This is not rocket science.
My other post regarding Aniston’s rep of being “unfriendly” to her fans before and during Pitt as narrated by various fans accounts and Huvane’s level of media exposure and his rep in the PR industry seems to be in moderation hell.
Calling Jen a retard or Jentard is no different or no better than her using that word. It really isn’t rocket science. It’s either wrong or no big deal, can’t have it both ways, sorry. If its wrong to use the word, than it is wrong for all. Period.
Katherine Mac–
You go girl! Tell it like it is!
No excuses!
Clearly, this IS rocket science for some people. Taunting JA, or anyone, by calling them a “retard,” is insulting to people who are mentally retarded/developmentally disabled. Nobody here cares whether it’s in insult to Aniston. (See Cowjam’s post above). Get it now?
I’m scratching my head wondering why anyone wants her making movies considering that almost everything she makes is garbage
Maybe she had some botox injected and didn’t want the peasants to see it
This past weekend there was a commercial for Along Came Polly, and my dad said “I never understood what people see in Jennifer Aniston” and I said, “well, she was good on Friends” and that was it.
That’s it. Those two sentences of dialogue completely describe Aniston’s career. Sad.
Thank goodness this site is no longer Loonifer HQ. I was worried for awhile. I’m also glad that people are waking up to this manipulative phoney little fraud and her PR Inc. She is a cold, calculating b.itch; and people have been too drunk on the Aniston Koolaid to see it. She is a phoney used Angelina for her own PR and with Huvane pumps malicious stories against Jolie out to the tabloids. Kendra was spot on. Too bad others here are still to BRAINWASHED by her phoney butter-wouldn’t-melt-in-her-mouth girl-next-door sweetheart ACT.
the comments are so highschool
I’m surprised she has so much money. I guess it’s tv money and she is maybe a good saver? Her movies all tank.
Damn well said, Katherine Mac!
I agree with Operatta. I remember hearing stories and seeing her with Brad. Neither of them were great with fans at the time. Brad’s attitude has clearly changed since his marriage ended. This also seems like one more confirmation that he takes/took on the attributes of his spouses/partners.
