Jennifer Aniston addressed rumors that she prioritized work and fame over having children
Jennifer Aniston had reportedly been at the center of rumors surrounding her divorce from Brad Pitt back in 2005. People speculated that she prioritized her career and fame more than having children and extending her family. The “Murder Mystery” actor addressed these rumors in a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine.
Jennifer Aniston said, “They didn’t know my story.” The actor continued, “Or what I’d been going through over the past 20 years to try to pursue a family.” She further added, “Because I don’t go out there and tell them my medical woes.” The actor then went on to talk about how these rumors affected her.
Jennifer Aniston explained, “That’s not anybody’s business.” She continued, “But there comes a point when you can’t not hear it — the narrative about how I won’t have a baby, won’t have a family, because I’m selfish, a workaholic.” She then revealed, “It does affect me — I’m just a human being.” She also added, “We’re all human beings. That’s why I thought, ‘What the hell?'”
During the interview, Jennifer Aniston further made comments on behalf of other individuals who have gone through similar situations. The actor said, “Because I knew a lot of women at the time who were trying to have kids, who were dealing with IVF. So it did feel like it was not only for myself, but for any women who were struggling with the same issue,” she added.
