Since the news broke yesterday about the end of Brangelina, the internet has gone into quite a frenzy. But weirdly enough, nothing really seems to be focused on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Instead, users around the world are using Jennifer Aniston, who was married to Pitt 11 years ago, to express their emotions.
According to Refinery29, photos of Aniston are circulating the internet while people try and imagine what she is doing right now. Exhibit A.

While on some level those are just harmless tweets or Instas, the New York Post may have taken this angle a bit too far.
Today’s cover: Jennifer Aniston knew Brangelina would end one day https://t.co/JvMlGzXP0A pic.twitter.com/uwVam0Glr1

On the cover of their newspaper is a picture of Aniston laughing, with the caption, “Jennifer Aniston knew Brangelina would end one day.” And frankly, it’s wrong on so many levels. After the cover was revealed, people online responded in a totally valid way—saying that it was out of line for the Post to put words in Aniston’s mouth.
@nypost Really… Did she tell you that?#NewYorkPostFail

@nypost I’m pretty confident Jennifer Aniston has more important things to care about than her cheating ex from 10 years ago

@nypost Gross…. This isn’t who Jennifer Aniston is. She wouldn’t approve of this.

Come on, people, we are better than this. Let’s leave Jen alone for good.
