Jennifer Aniston is Tired of Being Shamed - Refuses To "Be Whittled Down to a Sad, Childless Human"

Jennifer Aniston is tired of all the rumors, and being shamed by the tabloids. The actress, director, and producer came out on Huffington Post with her powerful "For the Record" last July. Now, she has nothing to lose; she told Marie Claire in its December 2016 issue.

Aniston, 47, said that she was sick of being shamed for her lifestyle and the decisions she made in life. She said in an interview with Marie Claire,  "My marital status has been shamed; my divorce status was shamed; my lack of a mate had been shamed; my nipples have been shamed. It's like, 'Why are we only looking at women through this particular lens of picking us apart? Why are we listening to it?' I just thought: I have worked too hard in this life and this career to be whittled down to a sad, childless human."

The Friends star has been in the tabloids constantly with rumors spreading that she and husband Justin Theroux is pregnant. The actress denied all of this saying, "For the record, I am not pregnant. What I am is fed up. I'm fed up with the sport-like scrutiny and body shaming that occurs daily under the guise of 'journalism,' the 'First Amendment' and 'celebrity news.'"

Aniston also told Marie Claire that she is now happier than ever with her husband. The two started dating around 2011, six years after Jennifer Aniston's controversial divorce with Brad Pitt in 2005. Aniston and Theroux tied the knot in August 2015.

"Why is he the right person for me? All I know is that I feel completely seen, and adored, in no matter what state. There's no part of me that I don't feel comfortable showing, exposing. And it brings forth the best part of myself because I care about him so much. And he's such a good person. It hurts me to think of anything hurting him," Aniston gushed.

It is clear that the married couple is happy together. Aniston even said that marriage is her number 1 priority. The actress even turned down roles just to be closer to her husband, and Theroux has done the same for her.  "You have to be so madly in love with it and think, 'I will be so upset if I don't go and play this person.'" Aniston added, "It has to be worth it."

When asked about her next career move, Aniston responded, "This is a time when I'm not completely sure what I'm doing," she revealed. "I'm at this sort of crossroads trying to figure out what inspires me deep in my core. What used to make me tick is not necessarily making me tick any- more ... The most challenging thing right now is trying to find what it is that makes my heart sing."

She also added that she had to be "madly in love" with an acting role to take it. "It has to be worth it," she emphasized.
