Jennifer Aniston Fears That Toxic Tabloid Culture Has Now Shifted To Social Media

Jennifer AnistonJennifer Aniston has spoken about her experiences with tabloid culture, as well as her concerns about social media ushering in a new era of toxicity. In a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar the Emmy winner shared her relief that the “circle of shame” tabloid era that unabashedly shamed women at the peak of her Friends fame holds less weight in the modern era.However, she also lamented that social media holds a worrying amount of influence today, and can often be home to the same sorts of judgements towards woman in the public eye.“Now any schmuck can stay anonymous and write whatever the hell they want to write,” she said, going on to share her experience of AI and deepfakes. “I catch things all the time, or friends send me things saying, ‘I don’t think this is you’, or ‘I don’t think you’re advertising this’,” she explained. “And I’ll send it to my lawyers so they can do a cease-and-desist. It’s just such a runaway train.” Jennifer was famously a tabloid staple in the 2000s, with the press at that time having an unrelenting and strange fascination with whether or not she was going to have children, which was then exacerbated by her divorce from Brad Pitt. “They didn’t know my story, or what I’d been going through over the past 20 years to try to pursue a family, because I don’t go out there and tell them my medical woes,” she said.In the end, she wrote an essay for HuffPost in 2016, setting the record straight once and for all, calling out the “bullshit” of the tabloids and affirming: “We are complete with or without a mate, with or without a child. We get to decide for ourselves what is beautiful when it comes to our bodies.”Naturally, Jennifer’s experience has led to concern about the growing influence of big tech, social media and its unregulated influence on the younger generation. “I’m sure the guys who came up with it thought it was a great idea and, yeah, congratulations on your billions, but it has taken down a huge portion of humanity,” she said in the new interview.Jennifer was promoting her upcoming season of The Morning Show which sees her reunite with her Friends on-sister Reese Witherspoon. While promoting the new episodes, she was recently shocked to find out her co-star and co-producer’s real name during one video interview.READ MORE:Jennifer Aniston Says This 1 Film Role Of Hers Was 'Cathartic' After Brad Pitt SplitJennifer Aniston Makes Emotional Admission About Grieving Matthew PerryJennifer Aniston Sets The Record Straight On Wildest Tabloid Rumours Written About Her
