On Monday, July 15, 2024, Donald Trump took to Truth Social to announce Senator J.D. Vance as his vice presidential candidate. However, the news wasn’t taken in good faith by all, as popular American actress Jennifer Aniston has come to voice her opinion on Vance. Aniston responded to Vance’s 2021 remarks about childless women like Vice President Kamala Harris being miserable “cat ladies.”

Jennifer Aniston’s Instagram Story

On Wednesday, July 24, 2024, Aniston took to Instagram, sharing a screenshot of Vance’s statement and a write-up from her. Aniston wrote, “All I can say is, Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day.” She continued, “I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option, because you are trying to take that away from her, too.” The 55-year-old actress has struggled with childbirth, sharing her personal story with IVF.

 What Did J.D. Vance Say?

The screenshot, which Aniston posted to her Instagram story, shows Vance and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. The interview came in July 2021, when a 39-year-old Ohio Republican was expressing his political views about Democrats. Vance claimed that America was run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies” who were miserable with their lives and their choices. Additionally, Vance stated that those women now wish to bring misery to the entire nation. 

Subsequently, Vance highlighted Harris, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as examples. He said, “It’s just a basic fact — you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children.” Vance asked Carlson if it made sense for the country to be governed by those without a direct stake in it.

Jennifer Aniston Speaks on IVF 

In November 2022, Aniston had an interview with Allure, where she disclosed how difficult it was, dealing with pregnancy rumors in her career. Aniston said that it was extremely difficult as she was trying every method to improve the chances including IVF and Chinese teas. Additionally, Aniston said “I would have given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.’ You just don’t think it.” 

Aniston also clarified that rumors about her split with Brad Pitt due to children or her career were absolute lies. However, Aniston did not delve into the specifics of her IVF journey, instead saying that that stage of her life is now over. Aniston said, “I feel a little relief now because there is no more. ‘Can I?’ I don’t have to think about that anymore.”

In 2016, following her pregnancy, Aniston decided to write an essay to express her frustration with such rumors. Aniston wrote, “Here’s where I come out on this topic: We are complete with or without a mate, with or without a child. We get to decide for ourselves what is beautiful when it comes to our bodies. That decision is ours and ours alone.” Additionally, Aniston stated that one should make such decisions for themselves outside of the tabloid noise.
