She continued, “And second, those are reckless assumptions. No one knows what’s going on behind closed doors. No one considers how sensitive that might be for my partner and me. They don’t know what I’ve been through medically or emotionally. There is a pressure on women to be mothers, and if they are not, then they’re deemed damaged goods. Maybe my purpose on this planet isn’t to procreate. Maybe I have other things I’m supposed to do?”
Aniston’s new interview withInStylecomes monthsafter she splitfrom husbandJustin Therouxin February after more than two years ofmarriageand seven years together.
Months later, in June, another sourcetold PEOPLEthat Aniston “is very happy being single.” The second source added of Aniston, who has recently been filming a Netflix movie withAdam Sandlerin Montreal, “She is focused on her own happiness.”
In theInStyleinterview, Aniston also discussed her encounters with sexism during her lengthy career.
“I’ve definitely had my fair share of sexism in the media,” Aniston said. “Women are picked apart and pitted against one another based on looks and clothing and superficial stuff. When a couple breaks up in Hollywood, it’s the woman who is scorned. The woman is left sad and alone. She’s the failure. F that. When was the last time you read about a divorced, childless man referred to as a spinster?”
McNearney and Aniston have been friends for six years ahead of the cover interview. In March, the duotraveled to Tahiti, along with Kimmel and fellowFriendsalumCourteney Cox, to celebrate McNearney’s birthday.
McNearney wrote about the first time they met: “She was immediately warm, like an old friend. She’s magnetic like that. No boundaries, no b——-, and a lot of laughing.”
