Jennifer Aniston addresses ‘untrue’ romance rumors linked with Barack Obama
Jennifer Aniston recently addressed some wild and “untrue” rumors involving her and former U.S. President Barack Obama. During her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the Friends star was confronted with one of the more bizarre tabloid stories circulating about her.
Kimmel presented her with a magazine cover that boldly proclaimed, “The Truth About Jen & Barack.” The cover also made the outlandish claim that Michelle Obama felt “betrayed as Aniston steals her husband’s attention,” further suggesting that Aniston and the 44th president were “obsessed with each other.”
The 55-year-old actress, known for her roles in Friends and Murder Mystery, couldn’t help but laugh at the ridiculousness of the rumor. She recalled the moment her publicist warned her about the headline. “Of all the calls you get from your publicist, where you’re just like, ‘Oh, no, what’s it gonna be?’ or the email saying, you know, some cheesy tabloid is gonna make up a story, and then it’s that,” she recounted with a smile.
Despite the absurdity of the claim, Aniston kept her cool and even found some humor in the situation. “I was not mad at it,” she quipped, lightheartedly dismissing the rumor.
Aniston then made sure to set the record straight, emphasizing that the story was completely fabricated. “It’s absolutely untrue,” she clarified, adding, “I have met him once. I know Michelle more than him.”
Her candid reaction on the show helped dispel the rumor in a lighthearted way, while also highlighting just how far tabloids will go to create sensational headlines. Fans appreciated her ability to laugh off the gossip, maintaining her sense of humor amidst the constant media attention surrounding her personal life.
