Jennifer Aniston on stars like Britney: "The media took advantage of that, capitalized on them, and it ultimately cost them their sanity."

[Jordan Miller]

Jennifer Aniston comments on how the media treated Britney in the new issue of In Style.

Aniston shares, “[They were] feeding on young, impressionable girls. Half of these kids started on ‘The Mickey Mouse Club’.

“I was lucky enough to be raised by a very strict mother. The priorities were not about becoming a famous person. It was, ‘Study your craft, learn what you’re doing, don’t just go out there and get lucky.’

“I waitressed for years. I got a Bob’s Big Boy commercial on my 900th commercial audition. I was doing theatre on, like, Long Island.

“I think that [Spears’s] group of girls as teens didn’t have any kind of ‘Who am I?’ They were being defined by this outside source. The media took advantage of that, capitalized on them, and it ultimately cost them their sanity. It’s so heartbreaking.”

Well, the industry/media takes advantage of everybody, including you Jenn.  Regardless of the background and childhood you had.  

Anyways, nothing new on what she said...

Jen did not lie, and they still continue to do so with the way they made Billie the biggest thing in 2019, capitalized off her phenomenal success and then threw her down and kickstarted a horrible hate-train and judged for every breath she took. Are we surprised?  It really is an endless cycle that is especially done with young female entertainers which is disgusting to see in such a progressed and modern society of today.

I like her but can people do something useful and talk about the c-ship and Free Britney instead. 

I'm not here for celebs only referencing the media and not the actual current problems, where their massive platforms could actually help.

[Jahudka]

Britney's situation runs deeper than the media. Much deeper. Surely she's aware of that... if she's not then she's in a small minority.

And since Britney's two most recent court appearances were HIGHLY publicised EVERYWHERE, she'd need to be living under a rock to not know that Britney's situation is so much more.

However, I guess she was only answering the question put to her.

I get what she’s saying but yikes. She seems to lack a lot of self awareness

I guess you learn't your craft so well that you basically play the same character over and over, isn't the definition on insanity doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...

I'm sure having a father in the industry helped open that door too.  Let's not forget that many celebs back in the day thought Britney had no talent.  She sounds like one of those celebs to me .

Y’all need to chill tf out.

I think her pointing to her mother identifies Britney’s circle as a problem (in addition to the media problems, which she addresses).

Jen is one of few people who has experienced overexposure, and still not to the degree experienced by Britney. Add to that the fact that Britney was much younger dealing with a lot of her problems.

Wasn't Jennifer liking shady posts on instagram where people made videos spoofing Britneys insta posts a while back? Am I the only kne who remembers this? Lol

[Anti-Hero]

She kinda made this about herself 

She might as well say “thank god I’m not in her shoes”

I have heard people say she's not nice in real life, plus her being best friends with Ellen is a bit of a flag.
