Jennifer Aniston “isn’t mad” that she was romantically linked to Barack Obama in the tabloids

Jennifer Aniston “isn’t mad” that she was romantically linked to Barack Obama in the tabloids

The media has been scrutinizing and analyzing Jennifer Aniston’s love life for decades, but things took a strange turn recently when a tabloid published an article suggesting that she and the formerly married president were romantically involved.

As a guest on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” late last week, Aniston explained how a photo of her on set was recently taken out of context and made headlines. Kimmel then pulled out a back issue of In Touch Weekly with the ominous headline: “The Truth About Jen and Barack (Obama)!”

The caption below read: “Michelle cheated as Aniston steals her husband’s attention.”

Kimmel wondered if Aniston ever worried about such stories.

KIMMEL: “Tis a magazine that came out a few weeks ago.

ANISTON: “Oh, s—.”

KIMMEL: “So the truth about Jen and Barack!”

Surprised, Aniston replied. “It’s kind of – it was – of all the calls you get from your publicist where you just go, ‘Oh no, what’s it going to be?’ or an email that says, “Some trashy tabloid will come up with a story.” And that’s it. I wasn’t angry about it.

KIMMEL: Is there any truth to this?

ANISTON: “No, that’s completely untrue.”

KIMMEL: “Well, I know it’s not true, I just don’t know if everyone knows.”

Aniston addressed the audience to reiterate that there is nothing romantic about her relationship with the former president, adding that they have only met once.

“I know Michelle better than he does,” she joked.

Kimmel used Aniston’s honesty as an opportunity to ask her about more rumors about her.

Aniston confirmed rumors that she had a salmon sperm facial, a fan asked for a photo of her while she was naked in a sauna, and that she was traveling abroad with a jar of olives. She quickly debunked the rumor that she installed a $4,000 anti-aging sunscreen for her dogs. She also denied having a black belt in jiu-jitsu.

KIMMEL: “Do you have a zippered bag filled with the ashes of your deceased therapist?

Aniston was horrified that Kimmel, her personal friend, asked the question.

KIMMEL: “That’s kind of true, isn’t it?”

ANISTON: – That’s kind of true. Oh, I’m going to sound like I really need a therapist after this.

The actress tried to justify her response by claiming that she was at a service for a woman, but she stopped and called it a long story.

Aniston also confirmed that as a child, she had a piece of art hanging in the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), and on Christmas Eve, her family made her belly dance.

“Any time, not just on Christmas Eve!” – the “Friends” star joked. “You know that Greeks love all kinds of family dinners… It’s like telling your child, ‘Play the piano for everyone’ or ‘Let’s sing for everyone.’ I get very upset when my friends do this to their children… I have the internal trauma of having to perform and belly dance in front of my aunts, uncles and grandmothers.” – she joked.
