Entertainment – Jennifer Anniston pens essay taking on the media

Jennifer Anniston said she is “fed up” in a new essay she wrote for the Huffington Post about the “objectification” of her personal life. “The way I am portrayed by the media is simply a reflection of how we see and portray women in general, measured against some warped standard of beauty,” she writes in the essay published Tuesday. “I used to tell myself that tabloids were like comic books, not to be taken seriously, just a soap opera for people to follow when they need a distraction,” Aniston writes. “But I really can’t tell myself that anymore because the reality is the stalking and objectification I’ve experienced first-hand, going on decades now, reflects the warped way we calculate a woman’s worth.” Huffington Post co-founder and president Arianna Huffington said the work of the essay was entirely Aniston’s, even the headline, which read, “For The Record.”
