Jennifer Aniston Slams Politician Who Called Childless Women 'Poor Cat Ladies'
Jennifer Aniston has criticized Republican Senator J.D. Vance for his comments about "poor childless cat ladies," including about Kamala Harris, who has no children of her own. Aniston, 55, said she would pray that his daughter "is lucky enough to have children of her own."
The senator spoke about Kamala Harris back in 2021 during a conversation with journalist Tucker Carlson on the Fox News channel. Then he called the Democrats "a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable because of their own lives and the choices they've made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too." He also included Kamala Harris among them: "The entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. And what's the point of us handing over our country to people who have no direct connection to it?"
These statements have stirred up the public once again against the backdrop of the senator running for vice president in Donald Trump's team. Jennifer Aniston also drew attention to this, writing in her stories*: "I honestly can't believe this is coming from a potential Vice President of the United States. All I can say is... Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is lucky enough to have her own children one day. I hope she doesn't have to resort to IVF as a second option. Because you're trying to take that away from her too."
Vance, 39, and his wife Usha Vance, 38, have three children: son Ewan, 6, son Vivek, 4, and daughter Mirabelle, 2. Kamala Harris has no children of her own, but she is a stepmother to her husband Douglas Emhoff's children: son Cole and daughter Ella.
As you know, Jennifer Aniston doesn't have children, and this topic is very painful for her - she has commented on it many times. For example, in 2022, in an interview with Allure magazine, she said that she tried to have a child for more than ten years, but was unable to due to fertility problems: "I would say that in my 30s and 40s, I went through very difficult trials, and if it weren't for that, I would never have become who I was supposed to be." According to her, she tried everything from IVF to herbal teas, but none of it helped. In addition, in her marriage to Brad Pitt, she experienced two miscarriages, which she publicly spoke about only almost twenty years later.
In 2016, Aniston wrote an article for the Huffington Post in which she stated that she feels complete whether she is a mother or not.
