Jennifer Aniston speaks out over JD Vance's past 'childless cat lady' comments

Jennifer Aniston has spoken out over aspiring US Vice President JD Vance's resurfaced comments about women such as Vice President Kamala Harris who have not given birth.

The Friends star shared a screenshot of a tweet which featured Vance's July 2021 interview with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

She wrote alongside the clip: "I truly can't believe this is coming from a potential VP of The United States.

"All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day.

"I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too."

Her comments come a week after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump picked Vance as his vice president at the Republican National Convention ahead of the 2024 election.

Vance can be heard in the video saying the United States 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."

"It's just a basic fact — you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children," Vance continued in the footage.

"And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?"

Aniston has faced false pregnancy rumors throughout her Hollywood career. She told Allure in 2022 that it was "really hard" to see the fake reports.

Jennifer Aniston says years of pregnancy speculation was "really hard"

"All the years and years and years of speculation… It was really hard," she said. "I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it.

"I would have given anything if someone had said to me, 'Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.’ You just don’t think it."

In 2019, she wrote an essay for the Huffington Post about how completely "fed up" she was with the ongoing pregnancy speculation, following reports that she and then-husband Justin Theroux were expecting their first child.

She went on to say that women are "complete with or without a mate, with or without a child".

"We get to decide for ourselves what is beautiful when it comes to our bodies. That decision is ours and ours alone. Let's make that decision for ourselves and for the young women in this world who look to us as examples," she said.
