Jennifer Aniston’s Views on Cancel Culture
Jennifer Aniston has recently expressed her discontent with the prevailing “cancel culture”. During her interview with The Wall Street Journal, Aniston remarked on her dissatisfaction with the practice, going as far as to suggest that her comments might lead to her being “canceled”. Aniston emphasized that she doesn’t classify everyone who has committed wrongdoings into a single category, commenting:
“I just don’t understand what it means … Is there no redemption? I don’t put everybody in the Harvey Weinstein basket.”
Her Experiences with Harvey Weinstein
Although Jennifer Aniston clarified she was never a victim of Harvey Weinstein’s harassment, she recounted her uneasiness around the disgraced movie mogul. Recollecting an incident, the “Friends” actress mentioned how Weinstein once visited her movie trailer to pitch an idea. During this encounter, she felt the need to have someone stay in her trailer for her comfort.
She further described the general sentiment towards Weinstein, saying:
“He’s not a guy, you’re like, ‘God, I can’t wait to hang out with Harvey [Weinstein].’ Never. You were actually like, ‘Oh, God, OK, suck it up.’”
Weinstein’s Controversies and Allegations Against Aniston
Once a Hollywood heavyweight, Harvey Weinstein became the face of #MeToo in 2017 after numerous celebrities accused him of sexual misconduct. He’s currently serving a 39-year sentence for rape and sexual assault. In a surprising turn, Weinstein later denied any unsettling interactions with Jennifer Aniston. However, a 2020 email from him surfaced, expressing harmful intentions towards Aniston due to allegations. Aniston’s representatives promptly refuted this, confirming no harassment or assault by Weinstein.
