Jennifer Aniston was forced to cut ties with Chelsea Handler after diving “headfirst” into their friendship, according to a new report.
While the “Friends” star, 56, is “private” and wishes to remain out of the public eye, the comedian, 50, “wants to be front and centre,” a source told the Daily Mail on Thursday.
“Perhaps a breakdown was always inevitable,” the insider added.
When the duo met on “Chelsea Lately” in 2009, they “went from not knowing each other to being together 24/7,” according to the outlet.
Notably, the former talk show host once shaded Pitt, 61, and his second ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, in an interview, joking that the “f–king lunatic” actress had led her “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” co-star to drugs and alcohol.
Aniston’s second ex-husband, Justin Theroux, allegedly was not a fan of “rude and obnoxious” Handler, whom the source claimed had encouraged the “Morning Show” star to “act single” during their marriage.
When Aniston and Theroux, 53, ended their relationship in 2018, she was “paranoid … that people around her were leaking stories to the press,” according to the report.
