Jennifer Aniston, Hollywood star and famous actress from ‘Friends’ sitcom got coated in oil while shooting Season 4 of her Apple TV+ hit, “The Morning Show,” in Manhattan on Sunday (local time), the New York Post reported.
The 'Friends' star looked angry as her white shirt and slacks were destroyed. A video from the scene shows a sticky, tar-like substance being splashed in the direction of the Hollywood actress. The 55-year-old actress was surrounded by protesters who flung the black oil at her as she appeared to be shooting a scene of “The Morning Show.”
'The Morning Show' recently earned several Emmy nominations, including 'Outstanding Drama Series' and 'Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series' for both Jennifer Aniston and her 48-year-old co-star, Reese Witherspoon. In the oddball drama, Jennifer Aniston plays the character of Alex, set in the behind-the-scenes world of a fictional morning news programme.
Following the honour of 16 Emmy nominations, the actress stated, "Happy Sweet 16 indeed! I'm so honoured and so proud of our show and all of our wildly talented actors, directors and crew! #grateful."
The story revolves around rival anchors Alex and Bradley (Witherspoon). At the same time, the series tackles timely topics such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the pandemic.
A week ago, the Hollywood actress made headlines for launching a scathing attack on the Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance. This retaliation came in the backdrop of JD Vance's past comments on Democratic Presidential nominee and US Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Republican Vice Presidential candidate made a derogatory remark on VP Kamala Harris during a 2021 interview where he referred to Kamala Harris and several others as “people without children.”
"The US was being run by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too," Deadline quoted JD Vance as saying.
In an Instagram post, Jennifer Aniston stated, “All I can say is... Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day.”
