Jennifer Aniston Plans to Mentor Britney Spears Amid Concerns for Her Own Friends
Jennifer Aniston is reportedly taking steps to support Britney Spears in preventing another public crisis, according to a recent report from The National Enquirer. An insider claimed that Aniston, moved by Spears’ recent social media posts that seemed to suggest distress, is keen on mentoring the pop star, much like she has previously done with other young celebrities, including Selena Gomez.
Spears recently raised eyebrows with a cryptic social media message that read, “You know when you grow up and realize setups aren’t just in movies??? They can be in real life too and when they are in real life they can be illegal!!! I know blah blah blah what does this have to do with anything??? Well, it’s just all that love!!! You feel it??? Right back at ya!!! I love y’all so so much!!!” Accompanied by a photo of Jennifer from her 2002 film “The Good Girl,” the post was perceived by Aniston as a possible cry for help.
The source indicated that Aniston, 55, deeply moved by the recent tragic death of her “Friends” co-star Matthew Perry due to issues related to addiction, feels a strong urge to reach out and offer support to Spears. Perry’s death was particularly shocking as it was attributed to the anesthetic ketamine, and it has reportedly prompted Aniston to be more proactive in offering help to others she believes might be struggling.
This sense of responsibility has led Aniston to instruct her agent to arrange a meeting with Spears, hoping to provide the singer with some stability and guidance. However, Aniston has not publicly confirmed these plans, and as such, fans are advised to remain cautious about these unverified reports.
Meanwhile, Aniston’s personal life also appears to be in the spotlight due to a potential disagreement with her long-time friend and “Friends” co-star Courteney Cox. The point of contention reportedly revolves around Cox’s relationship with Snow Patrol singer Johnny McDaid. The couple has maintained a long-distance relationship for over a decade, with McDaid living in London and Cox in Los Angeles. An insider told OK! Magazine that Aniston finds the arrangement unusual and views it as a potential red flag in their relationship.
The dynamics between Cox and McDaid took a turn in 2015 when McDaid abruptly ended their therapy session, which was intended to address issues in their relationship. Cox shared on Minnie Driver’s “Minnie Questions” podcast that she was shocked by McDaid’s decision, which led her to take time for personal growth and to reassess her life’s motivations. Despite the initial breakup, the couple has since reconciled and continued their relationship, although they have not resumed their engagement.
Aniston reportedly remains skeptical of McDaid and believes he should be more appreciative of Cox, given their history and her status. She maintains a polite demeanor towards him but harbors concerns about the sustainability of their long-distance arrangement.
As these stories unfold, both Aniston’s purported mentorship aspirations with Spears and her concerns for Cox’s relationship highlight her deep involvement and emotional investment in the lives of those around her, reflecting her role as a friend and mentor within her personal and professional circles.
