Actress Jennifer Aniston has spoken out against cancel culture as an annoying trend, wondering if there would ever be an end to it all after being embroiled in the controversy surrounding Jamie Foxx's purportedly anti-Semitic social media remark.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 54-year old actress said: ¡°I¡¯m so over cancel culture. I probably just got canceled by saying that. I just don¡¯t understand what it means ¡ Is there no redemption? I don¡¯t know. I don¡¯t put everybody in the Harvey Weinstein basket.¡± ¡°He¡¯s not a guy, you¡¯re like, ¡®God, I can¡¯t wait to hang out with Harvey,'¡± she said. ¡°Never. You were actually like, ¡®Oh, God, OK, suck it up.¡¯?
Harvey Weinstein is a well-known Hollywood producer who has worked on movies including Malena, Shakespeare in Love, and Gangs of New York. He also served as executive producer on movies like Pulp Fiction and The Lord of the Rings. He has been given a 16-year prison term for molestation and even rape allegations against over 90 women, but he is also a registered sex offender.
Many famous people, like Chris Rock, Lizzo, Cate Blanchett, Elon Musk, and others, have regularly criticized the practice as it has grown to be quite popular.
Aniston is getting ready to take the lead in Season 3 of Apple's "The Morning Show," which follows the repercussions of a broadcast morning news program after a male co-anchor is fired as a result of sexual misconduct claims. The show examines several angles of the #MeToo movement, which rocked Hollywood and resulted in Weinstein's resignation.
Jennifer is an American producer and actor. From 1994 until 2004, she played Rachel Green on the television comedy Friends, for which she won Primetime Emmy, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild awards. This helped her gain international notoriety. She has developed into one of the highest-paid actresses in the world since her career took off in the 1990s.
