Actress Jennifer Aniston: “I’m So Over Cancel Culture, Is There No Redemption?”
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 08/22/2023 | James Hibberd

Jennifer Aniston is offering her perspective on “cancel culture.”

The 54-year-old star declared in a new interview: “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.”

Aniston made the remarks in a Wall Street Journal magazine profile, where she added that she had some uncomfortable moments with the disgraced producer. “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.’ I remember actually, he came to visit me on a movie to pitch me a movie. And I do remember consciously having a person stay in my trailer.” (The Journal added that Weinstein told them “[Aniston] never had any uncomfortable instances with me.”)

Merriam-Webster defines cancel culture as “the practice or tendency of engaging in mass canceling as a way of expressing disapproval and exerting social pressure.”

The number of celebrities that have criticized cancel culture is getting pretty long: From Lizzo to Chris Rock to Goldie Hawn to Molly Ringwald to Cate Blanchett.

Yet others have challenged the notion that cancel culture is a legit social movement.

Comedian Jerrod Carmichael said in a Hollywood Reporter roundtable, “Cancellation, that’s not real. The boogeyman doesn’t exist. We got to get over that. Like, if you do something wrong in your personal life, you should go to jail.

Didn’t she try and cancel Jamie Foxx a few weeks ago? And also cut ties with family and friends who didn’t get the vaccine?

Agreed. I trust she has suffered for what she and her like have created.

The cancel culture demands 100% compliance and you have to swallow everything without question. No deviation from the woke ideology is allowed.

Was every girl in my generation named Jennifer? Sometimes, it seems that way. Nobody cares about her perspective on anything. She is a medium talented actress whose best attribute is that she has maintained her good looks into middle age without looking like a plastic surgery victim. Good/great genes (that will not be passed on). Okay, Jennifer, you are still hot. Nobody cares what you think about cancel culture.

Jennifer, you were good for one thing and one thing only.


But your "sell by" date has expired.

So zip your lip and head back to your sewing circle.

“He’s not a guy, you’re like, ‘God, I can’t wait to hang out with Harvey.'”

I think what she's trying to say is,

"He's not a guy about whom you would say, 'God, I can't wait to hang out with Harvey.'"
