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.

My very favorite movie.
Not as impactful now that I’m retired, though.
Unlike Christians, the cancel culture crowd doesn’t believe in redemption.
There is no grace in the woke religion.
Clicked on the thread expecting Aniston to deliver a spirited defense of Lindell, but got Weinstein instead. Weinstein? Really, Jennifer?
It's hard to take a bunch of uneducated, drug-using, bed-hopping, former car parking valets and manicurists seriously....Really!!!
(No offense to right thinking and honest manicurists and parking valets)
Bash her all folks want
She’s always been cute to me
If I had to pick one she’d have been my pick for 30 years
And she’s not Belluci gorgeous
She’s got something I find alluring
She’s the reason they say, “No matter how beautiful she is, somewhere there’s a guy who is tired of her s___.”
What kind of response is that?
It’s a quote from Office Space.
OHHHHHHHHH... I must have missed that part!
