Jennifer Aniston has made some fans angry with her recent comments about social media influencers and the modern-day celebrity.

During an interview with Sebastian Stan as part of the Variety YouTube Series Actors On Actors, Jennifer and the Pam And Tommy star began talking about the new type of celebrity as they conversation moved on from Pamela Anderson’s sex tape.

Jennifer said, “‘This thing of people becoming famous for basically doing nothing but yet having these incredible careers. And then women’s reputation…I mean – Paris Hilton, Monica Lewinsky, all those…

“…I feel so lucky that we got a little taste of the industry before. it became what it is today… More streaming service – you’re famous from TikTok, you’re famous from YouTube. It’s almost, like, it’s diluting the actor’s job.”

Some fans were not too happy with this response from the Friends actress as some labelled Jen a “nepotism baby” and claimed her parents being in the industry helped her own career.

Jennifer Aniston’s parents were both millionaire actors embedded in the film industry. Their connections allowed for Aniston to have the career that she has. Not trying to minimise what she did in her career but I actually think some of this move away from industry elite is good.

While others defended Jen’s comments insisting, she wasn’t trying to shade anyone.

I think the nuance missing from this Jennifer Aniston conversation is that she wasn’t shading influencers. She was simply saying she’s glad she didn’t have to compete with them.
But the fact so many people think being an influencer means someone deserves TV/film roles. 🤔

Jennifer has yet to respond to the backlash.
