In addition to her work on The Morning Show, Aniston recently made headlines for her outspoken criticism of Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance. Vance's controversial remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris and other childless women have been circulating online. In a 2021 interview, Vance referred to Harris and several others as "people without children," implying that they were unhappy with their lives and choices and thus wanted to spread their misery to the rest of the country. 

Aniston reacted strongly to these comments, taking to Instagram to voice her disapproval. She wrote, "All I can say is... Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day." Her response highlights the ongoing political tensions and her commitment to standing up for what she believes in.
