Jennifer Aniston says she's 'so over' cancel culture

Jennifer Aniston has said that she's 'so over' cancel culture in a new interview

Jennifer Aniston has said that she's 'so over' cancel culture, adding that not everyone is in the same 'bracket' as the disgraced Harvey Weinstein.

The Friends star is no stranger to telling people what she thinks - having previously hit out at those who compliment her age.

And now, in a new interview with The Wall Street Journal, the 54-year-old has given her thoughts about hot-button topic.

She said: "I’m so over cancel culture. I probably just got cancelled 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."

The former media mogul is currently behind bars serving a 39-year prison sentence on four counts of rape and one count of sexual assault.

The allegations against him were revitalized by activist Tarana Burke's #MeToo movement back in 2017, with over 80 women accusing him of misconduct and assault in the past six years.

Aniston continued: "He’s not a guy, you’re like, ‘God, I can’t wait to hang out with Harvey.’ Never. You were actually like, ‘Oh, God, OK, suck it up’."

While Aniston admitted that she wasn't personally harassed by Weinstein, she did say that her experiences with him were not exactly the best.

"He came to visit me on a movie to pitch me a movie," the Friends actor recalled. "And I do remember consciously having a person stay in my trailer."

Weinstein also told The Wall Street Journal that Aniston 'never had any uncomfortable instances with me'.

This comes after Aniston's previous comments about how movies have 'evolved' over the years.

The art of comedy is certainly one that has shifted in recent years, with some jokes made in the past not exactly passing in today's day and age.

Friends, for example, has been labelled as homophobic and racist by some critics, something Aniston addressed earlier this year.

Speaking to French outlet AFP, the actor said: "Here's a whole generation of people, kids, who are now going back to episodes of Friends and find them offensive.

"There were things that were never intentional and others. We should have thought it through, but I don't think there was a sensitivity like there is now."

She added: “Now, it's a little tricky because you have to be very careful, which makes it really hard for comedians, because the beauty of comedy is that we make fun of ourselves, make fun of life.”
