The Friends star, Jennifer Aniston, is known for her deep care for close friends. Many in Hollywood can confirm that she values warm, genuine friendships. Jennifer spent a lot of time with Chelsea Handler over the years; their shared sense of humor brought them together, and they enjoyed shopping, beach trips, and talking about their personal lives. However, recently, the actress has been distancing herself from her friend.
It all started when Handler began making sharp comments about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. In 2014, when Jennifer’s ex-husband married his partner, Chelsea harshly commented on the event, even calling Angelina “crazy.” She blamed the actress for Brad’s alcohol issues, which didn’t sit well with Jennifer.
Jennifer wasn’t interested in participating in public scandals. “Jen has always been a private person, wanting to live quietly, while Chelsea always wanted to be in the spotlight. So, perhaps the split was inevitable,” a source said.
Then, Jennifer married Justin Theroux. Justin wasn’t a fan of Chelsea’s influence on his wife and found her behavior rude and unpleasant. In 2017, when Jennifer and Justin decided to divorce, Jennifer began to fear that one of her friends might leak personal information to the press.
“Jennifer became paranoid, thinking people around her were leaking stories to tabloids. Plus, Chelsea kept talking about her in interviews,” an insider explained.
Recently, the two friends have grown even more distant. Although Jennifer hasn’t unfollowed Chelsea on social media, many believe their friendship is on the verge of ending. “It seemed like Chelsea was willing to do anything to become a star, while Jennifer had already made it, so of course, jealousy remained in their relationship,” the source added.
