After being photographed with what appears to be a bulge in her stomach few weeks ago, a tabloid, In Touch suggested that the 47-year-old ‘Just Go With It’ actress has a bun in the oven.
‘For the record, I am not pregnant. What I am is fed up. I’m fed up with the sport-like scrutiny and body-shaming that occurs daily. … If I am some kind of symbol to some people out there, then clearly I am an example of the lens through which we, as a society, view our mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, female friends and colleagues. The objectification and scrutiny we put women through is absurd and disturbing,’ Aniston moved to clearly refute the claims and state her disappointment at the constant scrutiny in a new post on her blog on Tuesday, July 12.

But I’m not in pursuit of motherhood because I feel incomplete in some way … I resent being made to feel ‘less than’ because my body is changing and/or I had a burger for lunch and was photographed from a weird angle and therefore deemed one of two things: ‘pregnant’ or ‘fat. “Not to mention the painful awkwardness that comes with being congratulated by friends, coworkers and strangers alike on one’s fictional pregnancy (often a dozen times in a single day),’ her post further read.
