Megyn Kelly Criticizes Jennifer Aniston Over Fame Complaints

Jennifer Aniston faced sharp criticism from Megyn Kelly following a Vanity Fair interview promoting Aniston's Apple TV+ series The Morning Show, where Aniston expressed frustration over the intense media scrutiny surrounding her 2005 split from Brad Pitt. Kelly condemned Aniston for complaining about fame and tabloid attention despite having actively sought and benefited from such publicity, including posing for provocative magazine covers. Kelly highlighted the perceived hypocrisy in Aniston's stance on women's rights by contrasting her vocal criticism of political figures with her close associations with comedians like Jimmy Kimmel, whose past work conflicted with feminist values. The criticism extended to Aniston's personal life, with Kelly pointing out that her marriage to Pitt significantly enhanced her career and wealth. Kelly and her guest also questioned the incongruity of Aniston playing a journalist on The Morning Show while lamenting media attention in her own life. Additionally, Aniston's close friendships with Gwyneth Paltrow, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jason Bateman—who praised her parenting—were noted amid the controversy over her public complaints about fame.
