Fans of The Morning Show Are Freaking Over Jennifer Aniston's New Face

Jennifer Aniston debuted a new look, and her fans and The Morning Show fans are calling her out and calling her almost unrecognizable. I read the headline and figured, what else is new? A vain, desperate, aging actor has plastic surgery to stay in the game. The grass is green, the sky is blue, and the earth turns on its axis. Facts. It isn't new or remarkable, I thought. Her face is her job; Aniston is no bra-burning trailblazer by any account, and so what, anyway. I was prepared to move on to searching for gossip and thought nothing of it. 

Until I actually saw it, and there is no way around this. Crikey woman! I struggled to find a way to make it make sense. Surely, she was more intelligent than this, but she looked like an entirely different person, like a sister or cousin, just not Jennifer. The difference is striking and, to me, not a great job. Maybe it needs to settle, but it is weird because her face is also as frozen as Nicole Kidman's was circa 2005 when Kidman was skipped over for roles because her face didn't move, and it was like she was perpetually stuck in a fucked up twisted time continuum. Here, it is the same. Aniston seems to be wearing a creepy mask that looks like her but more like something in a sci-fi or psychological horror film. Hello, I am not Jennifer Aniston, I am Annifer Janiston; it declares as the creature kills each member of the Friends cast with wild, bloody abandon. 

Aniston has forcibly spoken out against surgery in the past and, in 2018, tried to say the nose jobs she has had were only about her deviated septum (the go-to when people admit a rhinoplasty that they can't deny). Liar Liar pants on fire! 

Jennifer and her 2nd or 3rd nose and old chin.

Here I go, divulging tea I know personally, but whatever, I am going to tell it. I am far too comfortable with you; someone I know will know it is me one day. Oh well. When I would go stay with my sister in LA and sometimes for months during the summer, she would let me go with her to Crunch Fitness in West Hollywood; at that time, it was teeming with young Hollywood, and I would meet people all the time like Kate Hudson (during the I'm With The Band/Black Crowes era), who was so funny and sweet: she chatted unsolicited in an elevator with me and gave me a gushing compliment) Any old way, my sister's trainer, J, is the same age as Aninston and had her nose done at 17, and who was recovering post-op next to her? Jennifer. It doesn't take a mathematician to crunch the numbers and look at photographic evidence, and old Jenny has had several surgeries since she was 17.  

Back in the day, Ted Casablanca alleged that she'd had her total body and face overhauled, was neurotic about her body, and got procedures all the time. He was not a fan of hers and was scathing about her interviews, full of false claims and denials. And she used to wear those nipple shirts all the time, which I found to be too obviously courting the male gaze. The Championship stretching it would take to act like she didn't know is fascinating. What, did they clone Simone Biles? We would see it for ourselves if it had been us in the tabs, and most of us would have likely corrected it. However, she didn't; I guess she was trying to titillate men. 

"She definitely had surgery," celebrity facial plastic surgeon Dr. Sam Rizk told The Post from his Park Avenue office. "The type that improved her cheeks, jowls, and neck. And her eyes look refreshed, and that's more than Botox."

He believes Aniston had a "deep plane facelift" — "which lifts more of the tissue around the jowl and cheek" and "blepharoplasty," surgery to remove excess skin around the eyelid.

The giant bull elephant in the room is that for years and years, she foolishly denied she ever touched her face, even when it was embarrassingly apparent she had. Still, I made a valiant effort because it was her business, her agency, to do whatever she wanted, even ruin herself if she wanted to. This would have been the case, but she's been dishonestly hawking all kinds of products, telling insecure women if they use this product, it will work. She built a mini career and amassed a mountain of cash in the process. 

I lost respect for Judging Jennifer when she started throwing other actresses under the bus with bold face lies like these:

"There is also this pressure in Hollywood to be ageless. I think what I have been witness to, is seeing women trying to stay ageless with what they are doing to themselves. I am grateful to learn from their mistakes, because I am not injecting s**t into my face."

I see them, and my heart breaks. I think, "Oh god if you only know how much older you look." They are trying to stop the clock, and all you can see is an insecure person who won't let themselves just age. 

Say what? Why not just downplay it instead of saying all of this? Her fans have always believed she looked this way naturally and would get all up in their feelings if you even suggested it, or worse, they would say you weren't a feminist! Feminists have eyes, and we see what we see. Most of us feel for actresses and the unsurmountable pressure to look and stay young in an imbalanced atmosphere fed by toxic masculinity and outright misogyny. We get it and fight it with our money and word of mouth or expose it if we have a soapbox. So stanleys, sit your delusional asses down and educate yourselves, please. Being a feminist doesn't mean women get free passes to be giant throbbing anal warts. Her comments threw other women, like tragic-looking Courtney Cox, under the wheels, backed up, and ran her over again. 

Jennifer is a middling actress as far as talent, made a slew of formulaic, insipid rom-coms, and was a maestro at the tabloid game. Her calling card, though, was that she was the pretty girl next door with the smokin' body and, in doing this, further added to a fortune in the neighborhood of 300 million dollars. The Girl Next Door is next door if you live in a very expensive neighborhood and can afford an 8 figure home in Montecito, one of the more expensive canyons, or Malibu, to name some of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the LA area. I have to respect her hustle as she catapulted herself beyond Rachel from Friends to become the most successful actor in the ensemble. It was supposed to be Courtney Cox who was the reason for the show in the first place, but Aniston worked hard and understood her limitations in a way most actors shy away from.

Lean into your strengths, and she did, except when it comes to this. It is irksome and disappointing. For years, her work was subtle, and some of it was certainly her losing weight while married to Brad Pitt; this can't be explained away because she looks pulled like Sandra Bullock, which is not a compliment. The fans have been merciless.

OUCH! The comments under the article are scathing yet sometimes accurate. She disappointed fans who had believed her spin. Now that they know, I wonder if she will become an object of ridicule or not. If she does get the Meg Ryan treatment, then it will be her fault. The bus has double-backed around, and this time it was Jennifer's body under the vehicle, thrown under the wheels all by herself.
