Jennifer Aniston’s rep denies that Justin Theroux is obsessed with his ex

aniston in touch

When the Brangelina-split news broke on Tuesday, CB and I wondered if somehow, the weekly magazines would shred their latest cover stories and start anew for some late-breaking Brangelina news. That didn’t happen. None of the tabloids have Brangelina on their new covers this week! But in a hilarious twist, In Touch Weekly did decide to run a big cover story on Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux, and how Justin’s ex Heidi Bivens is ruining their relationship. Also hilarious? Jennifer Aniston’s rep went out of his way to deny this story… but there’s still no denial of those stories about Aniston’s glee over the Brangelina split. Funny how that goes.

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have split. That is the latest headline from InTouch Weekly – the same publication that correctly reported last week that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were divorcing. But Aniston’s rep has told DailyMail.com the magazine’s new report is ‘a complete fabrication’ and that the 47-year-old Friends vet has no plans to split from her 45-year-old husband of one year. The magazine is alleging Aniston is calling it quits with Theroux because he has been talking to his ex-girlfriend Heidi Bivens, who he spent 14 years with. Aniston’s rep, however, told DailyMail.com the InTouch report is a ‘complete fabrication.’

The cover story details conversations Theroux has had with Bivens, reporting they often laugh together on the phone. It was added he has a flirty relationship with his Leftovers co-star Margaret Qualley, 21, and that distance has been a problem as the actor has been in Australia for three months shooting his HBO series. The main focus of the cover story, however, was Justin and Heidi.

‘They’ve stayed in contact ever since they broke up,’ said a source. ‘Jen hates it. She let him have it, saying it was the last time she ever wanted to hear about that woman.’ And even though Jennifer has told Justin she is not comfortable with his conversations with Heidi, he refuses to stop, it was added by the source.

‘Justin and Heidi are friends, and that’s not going to change,’ said the insider.

Talk of Bivens even overshadowed their one year wedding anniversary in August, it was claimed. According to InTouch, when Justin flew home from Australia – where he has been shooting The Leftovers – they talked about his ex.

‘They had the fight over Heidi,’ said a pal. ‘By the end of the trip they were barely speaking to each other.’ It was also added that the couple decided to split before he returned to Australia for more shooting. The source said Justin feels he is doing nothing wrong by talking to Bivens and he even lets Aniston see their text messages. ‘But Jen flies off the handle and says he’s obsessed with Heidi,’ said the insider. But the Zoolander star had told his wife he did not want to ‘ignore’ Heidi, it was added. It was also claimed he helped Heidi get a job as a costume designer on a new film.

[From The Daily Mail]

Not only did Jennifer’s rep deny this to the Daily Mail, but Justin’s rep went to Gossip Cop for another denial. Justin’s rep says that JustJen is not over and “Bivens is NOT affecting their marriage.” Um… but is he still in contact with Heidi Bivens? That’s a really good question, isn’t it? Because of all the karma talk coming from Aniston’s Camp, the same talk that her rep has not denied. If you believe that the Brangelina split is karma, doesn’t it follow that Heidi Bivens will eventually get the last laugh too?

    It’s funny how Jennifer never denies Brad/Angelina but can’t run fast enough to deny other rumors.

    • CN says:

      Why should she comment on Brad/Angelina. Does she owe them something?

    • Katren says:

      Maybe she doesn’t deny the Brad and Angelina rumours because they have nothing to do with her? This story was about her and her husband, so she commented on it. If she commented on Brad and Angelinas divorce people would shit on her for trying to grab attention or still being involved all these years later. Maybe she is just really sick of being dragged into these stories?

    • nicole says:

      If she denied anything to do with those two then it would make her look obsessed with them and give more fuel to those fires. She can’t win in relation to this story.

    • Merritt says:

      Because whenever she has mentioned Brad and Angelina in the past, people have jumped all over her for it.

    • Naya says:

      Now that Brangelina is over, the tabloids will be looking for a new triangle to write their trashy soap opera narrative about. She knows that. Thats why she and Justin responded to this one. They need to nip it in the bud.

    • Bread and Circuses says:

      If she says ANYTHING, the press leaps on it and then rolls around like a dog in poop.

      The only means she has of controlling the narrative is to say nothing, and really, that’s exactly what Angelina has always done — she just says nothing, and it keeps the (poop-loving) hounds somewhat at bay.

    • Butterscotch says:

      Oh give it a bloody rest louise.

  2. Rocio says:

    It’s funny that we haven’t heard from Goop yet. I was assuming she would also be drag into the Jolie-Pitt-Cotillard-Aniston mess too.

    • Amelia says:

      Really? I would’ve thought she was far enough removed from her relationship Pitt that she wouldn’t be particularly relevant in that context anymore.
      Then again, the Uncool Bermuda Triangle is still alive and well, so you might yet be proved right!

    • perplexed says:

      A few days before the divorce was announced, there were stories about Brad Pitt saying Gwyneth’s name in his sleep (I don’t believe the story, but at times her name pops up on Brangelina stories).

      • doofus says:

        and those are the MOST ridic types of stories.

        WHO was there while Pitt talked in his sleep?! those freakin’ GERBILS?

        I know you said you don’t believe it so I’m not ranting at you, just in general at how gullible some folks can be. if it fits the narrative they want to believe, they believe it.

    Yup, karma’s a bitch

    • Little Darling says:

      Karma is not meant to be punishment, but rather the balancing experiences of the soul. The word “karma” means “action,” not “fate.” In Buddhism, karma is an energy created by willful action, through thoughts, words and deeds. We are all creating karma every minute, and the karma we create affects us every minute.

      It’s common to think of “my karma” as something you did in your last life that seals your fate in this life, but this is not Buddhist understanding. Karma is an action, not a result. The future is not set in stone. You can change the course of your life right now by changing your volitional (intentional) acts and self-destructive patterns.

      “Karma” is a Sanskrit word meaning literally “action”, “word” or “deed”. In Buddhism, karma refers to intentional thoughts, words, and actions and the energy created by those thoughts, words, and actions. The awareness of karma existed before the Buddha, but the Buddha is said to have clarified our overall understanding of it.

      (~from various resources online for accuracy with words)

      • G says:

        Thank you, Little Darling.

      • Erinn says:

        I also find it hilarious when people are reveling in what they call karma. Because if they understood karma – I’m pretty sure that’s something that behavior would be a ‘no-no’.

      • OG MJ says:

        I’m pretty sure it’s your spot-on assessments, but otherwise your Daria avatar, plus name reference to one of the best girl movies of all time have me convinced you know what the feck is up!

      • MI6 says:

        Beautiful. Thank you.

      • I Choose Me says:

        Thank you for this clarification. I knew that karmic energy was, to put in basic terms, cause and effect but I believed it applied primarily to past life actions.

      • Little Darling says:

        @OG MJ, word!! Great call on my handle, such a great adolescent film!!

      • JenniferJustice says:

        If we’re talking about actions and balance w/in one life span, it’s better to say, “She’s reaping what she sowed.”

      • Tara says:

        LittleDarling: According to the main male character in Me, You & Everyone We Know, karma is when you do something nice for someone, so they owe you. Heh. I kid…

    • Hadleyb says:

      It doesnt work like that and if it did — where is Justin’s, Jen’s and Brad’s “karma”? Jolie wasn’t the only one involved.

    • sherry says:

      My favorite meme states, “Karma’s only a bitch if you are.”

  4. BangersandMash says:

    Exactly my thought!

    Jennifer is schadenfreude-ring on level ten, volume 100, but “I’m classy, keep me out of it you guys?!”.
    When she genuinely, LEGITIMATELY threw a tombstone in the middle of a 14 year old relationship by giving Becky on set in a work environment, and then had tea and biscuits with Heidi and her mom and had a good cry out.

    GTFO

    May Heidi ‘schadenfreude’ at level 50, volume 1000.

    • Erandyn says:

      How do you know Jennifer is schadenfreude-ring AT ALL? She hasn’t said a word so far.

    • JenniferJustice says:

      But then where’ the schadenfreude for Justin? He’s the one that left Heidi high and dry in his mission to upgrade. Why does Jennifer get all the blame? Aren’t they both to blame and him more so than her. And that’s why, if this story is true, he can’t let Heidi completely go or tell her to stop contacting him, because he feels guilty.

  5. Pepper says:

    Do you seriously think her rep is going to put out a statement denying Aniston was cackling with glee over divorce news or denying she said something about karma to…someone? Seriously?

    That’s the kind of story you just don’t touch, because it’s embarrassing to even address it, and also pointless. If you say someone’s not breaking up or not having a baby, it has some meaning because eventually there will either be a divorce or a baby or a marriage or whatever, or there wont. If you deny someone had a conversation about something with a friend, unless it was recorded, you can never ever actually convince anyone who wants to believe it. So you ignore it.

    • Chinoiserie says:

      Exactly, it would just make her look completely obsessed with them and it is just tabloid nonsense and fun memes and not a real story anyway.

  6. Loopy says:

    Whats sad is that because of the break down of Brangelina now Aniston has to be dragged down some how for the brangeloonies glee.

  7. Bex says:

    I’m not sure why you think she should be denying any of the stories about her reaction to the split. She shouldn’t touch that with a 10 foot bargepole lest she be accused of being an obsessive ex.

  8. KatM says:

    I personally find Jennifer Aniston fairly annoying generally speaking. Her acting skills leave a lot to be desired. I honestly do not see her marriage lasting for eternity either.

  9. Lucy2 says:

    No matter what Jen or her rep says about Brangelina, people are going to attack her for it, so I’m thinking they’re just never going to say anything.
    It’s actually weird to me in the middle of all of this other crazy gossip, they’re trying out this old story again.

  10. lem says:

    Aniston won’t touch the Brangelina split with a ten foot pole b/c it’s a lose-lose for her to say ANYTHING. The split doesn’t involve her in any way shape or form and no matter what she says, she’ll get dragged for it and she knows it. So no, she won’t issue any sort of statement or denial regarding the reports coming from “Camp Aniston” (which seriously that doesn’t make sense at all–most of the info is based on internet memes that exploded on Tuesday).

    • Chinoiserie says:

      I wonder if she will be asked about Brad being abusive thing at some point, if it was just with kids then it does not involve Anistin at all but reporters probably want everyone’s comments about it.

      • lem says:

        That question may make sense if more information comes out. I still think she’ll say “no comment” which will be dissected to death anyhow. She’d be smart to just refuse to entertain those questions and walk out of an interview if they are brought up. It doesn’t matter what she says, she’ll be dragged for it.

    • I Choose Me says:

      Agree on hundred percent.

  11. Sullivan says:

    If this is true, coming on the heels of the Brangelina split, we will see a gossip frenzy of epic proportions.

  12. mia girl says:

    Wow In Touch didn’t even try very hard with this story. They basically took an old “Innocent Brad still talks to Sweet Jennifer and Insecure harpy Angelina is furious” and replaced the names. Yawn

  13. Jenni says:

    I get it why they BOTH deny it this time. The Brangelina mess is getting biger and biger. No wonder they want to stay away from that.

  14. G says:

    Tabs shouldn’t be bringing Jen into the Brange split to begin with.

  15. LittleTeaPot says:

    It’s the media that is trying to take this entire situation nuclear. I knew Jen would be drug into this. She needs to stay quiet.

  16. MoreSalt says:

    That dress is one of my least favorite things she has ever worn. So, so cheap and ugly looking. That said, I don’t think it’s fair for the media to drag her relationship around just because of B&A drama. Not nice.

  17. Insomniac says:

    Oh, no. Please, not the return of “Poor Jen.”

  18. Dani says:

    Justin and Jen should split and Brad and Jen should get back together and have triplets. The end.

  19. Grant says:

    Maybe Jennifer hasn’t denied anything related to the Jolie split because she doesn’t want to be associated with that sh!tshow in any way whatsoever. I feel like this blog is trying to create friction between the Aniston/Jolie camps with the Team Aniston and Team Jolie comments (see the Chelsea Handler thread).

    • perplexed says:

      I don’t get what she would or could deny in relation to the Brangelina split. It’s not like she’s in their house to know what’s going on.

  20. OG MJ says:

    “They often laugh together on the phone.” PEARLS CLUTCHED!

    If the hookup was under non-shady circumstances, maintaining a friendship with a former partner of that significance is a plus, if I was in this situation with the hubbins. And this poor woman has done nothing to indicate she wants any part of the gossip cycle. She’s just a working professional who keeps being pulled into this narrative, like a domino effect of other people’s bullshit. Poor Heidi.

    • notasugarhere says:

      She also made it quite clear publicly that if Aniston and Theroux ever crossed a certain line, she’d come out with proof of the real timeline of events. That stated, I doubt she’s spoken to him in years.

  21. tealily says:

    Oh, ffs!

  22. Mmac51 says:

    I’m just waiting until we hear from Heidi’s mom. Remember when ol’ girl was so mad, she gave US Weekly an earful?! Glorious. #DoNotMessWithMom

  23. shannon says:

    it would not surprise me if this were true. He leaves his girlfriend of fourteen years, there is significant history there…several years with the mistress and all of a sudden things are getting old, fast. Happens probably more than people think.

    • Michele says:

      The best remedy for a wife is to let her husband move in IMMEDIATELY with a mistress. Never fight to keep him, pack him up and make him move in with her. It takes the magic out of their mess pronto.

    • Butterscotch says:

      Yawn.so freakng boring.
      The tabloids are just pushing for a brad and Jen reunion-it’s plain as day and many people as usual are buying the bs,because they hate aniston.
      The same bs and same magazine covers will be going on 20 years from now.
      It’s been 12 years…let it go…let it go…

  24. Michele says:

    I think Jennifer’s pretend marriage was in public trouble when Justin proudly showed off a tattoo he got on their FIRST anniversary that said “NEVER AGAIN”

    Ouch

    • sophie says:

      Did he personally tell you exactly what that was referring to? It think it was actually “never again again” I think the “never again” part was already there and he had his friend Scott add “again” but there was no explanation what it meant.

  25. Alex says:

    My ex husband and i spent 12 years together and we talk everyday, however, his girlfriend says he is in love with me. I understand her feelings but we are friends we have been on each others life for so long. But nothing else so i hope she doesnt l3t that break them up. If it is like my situation she shouldnt worry.

  26. serena says:

    Why would they go out of their way to deny this if it was just a rumor? Is it just for the attention?
