Jennifer Aniston Feels “empathy” for Meghan Markle’s “diabolical” Situation 14 Years After Starring in $210 Million Film With Her – Report
- Jennifer Aniston is reportedly befriending Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.
- Aniston allegedly understands Markle's current predicament and empathizes with her.
- The two actresses reportedly have no bad blood with each other.
While most of the Hollywood A-listers are trying to steer clear of any kind of relationship with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, FRIENDS star Jennifer Aniston is reportedly warming up to Markle as she believes that people have been unfair to the Duchess.
Aniston has never been one to open the doors to her mansion for everyone which is understandable considering how important setting up boundaries is. However, Meghan Markle seems to be an exception here as an insider has recently claimed that the Murder Mystery star is sympathetic to her.
Jennifer Aniston is reportedly “impressed” with Meghan Markle’s resilience
Jennifer Aniston has been in the entertainment industry for almost four decades now, and the first few years of her career were not exactly a walk through the park. In fact, it was not until she landed a role in the NBC sitcom FRIENDS that her career took off. Even after the show came to an end in 2004, she has maintained her status as an A-lister with her roles in several high-grossing films.
Meghan Markle too struggled early on in her acting career. However, that changed when she landed the role of a paralegal named Rachel Zane in the TV series Suits. She starred in the show for seven seasons until 2017. She decided to retire from acting after her marriage to Prince Harry was announced.
Since her marriage to a member of the royal family, Markle has not had an easy time, and reportedly, this has missed Aniston’s attention. A source recently told Life & Style magazine:
Jen knows what it’s like to be in the public eye and under scrutiny, so she has a ton of empathy for Meghan and thinks the way she’s been treated is pretty diabolical. At the same time, she’s really impressed with how Meghan’s shown such resilience.
The source further stated that Aniston admires how strong and principled Markle has been through thick and thin. The former actress and her husband have faced quite some setbacks on the work front as their deal with Netflix does not seem to be yielding very satisfactory results.
Jennifer Aniston and Meghan Markle reportedly do not have any bad blood despite rumors
In 2011, Aniston starred as one of the terrible bosses in the crime comedy film Horrible Bosses. The movie was a critical and commercial success with a worldwide gross of almost $210 million (via Box Office Mojo) and even spawned a sequel. Markle also appeared briefly in the film as a FedEx girl.
There were rumors that the Bruce Almighty star had some beef with Markle when they worked on the movie together. However, the source has told the outlet that it is not the case at all.
There’s been this rumor that Jen snubbed Meghan years ago when they worked on Horrible Bosses, but that’s just not true. Meghan had such a small part, so they hardly worked together, but it was no reflection on Meghan or how Jen felt about her. Anyone harping on that clearly has no idea how film sets work.
That certainly makes sense considering Markle’s screen time is much less than Aniston’s. Elsewhere, the source also explained that Oprah Winfrey is a mutual friend of both actresses and Courteney Cox is also friendly with Prince Harry. Regardless, The Morning Show star took it slow with Markle and has allegedly made up her mind about making the Duchess a part of her inner circle.
