Jennifer Aniston Blasts JD Vance’s ‘Childless Cat Ladies’ Remarks: ‘I Hope Your Daughter Can Have Children’
Jennifer Aniston has taken JD Vance to task for his controversial remarks about women without children. On her Instagram Stories, Aniston shared a clip from Vance’s 2021 appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show, where he criticized childless women in politics, including Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg, as lacking a stake in the country’s future.
In response, Aniston expressed disbelief that such comments could come from a potential U.S. vice president. She wrote, “Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is blessed with the chance to have children. I hope she won’t need to rely on IVF, which you seem intent on restricting.”
The actress, who has previously addressed her own fertility journey, criticized Vance’s far-right stance on reproductive rights. As reproductive health emerges as a pivotal issue in the upcoming election, Aniston’s comments reflect a broader Hollywood concern and support for Kamala Harris, a leading advocate for abortion and women’s health.
Lindsay Lewis Defends JD Vance Amid Aniston’s Criticism: ‘JD Reflects the Strength of the Women in His Life
Lindsay Lewis, JD Vance’s sister, has responded to Jennifer Aniston’s criticism by highlighting her brother’s deep respect for the strong women in his life. In a statement, Lewis emphasized that Vance was raised by “some of the strongest women” she knows and is married to “an incredibly strong woman” in Usha. “JD is a testament to the women in his life,” Lewis said, condemning the media and Democratic attacks as “vile.”
Aniston’s critique of Vance’s remarks touches a personal nerve, given her own experiences with invasive media scrutiny about her fertility and choice not to have children. In a 2022 Allure cover story, Aniston revealed her struggles with IVF and fertility challenges, reflecting on the painful speculation about her personal life. “All the years of speculation… It was really hard,” Aniston said, addressing the media’s portrayal of her as “selfish” for prioritizing her career over having children.
Additionally, Aniston has shown support for Kamala Harris by sharing a 2018 video of Harris questioning Brett Kavanaugh on abortion rights. CNN has reached out to Aniston’s representative for further comment on her statements about Vance and her apparent endorsement of Harris.
