Desperate Meghan Markle Seeks Jennifer Aniston for Archetypes Podcast
Meghan Markle is reportedly eager to have Jennifer Aniston as a guest on her Archetypes podcast.
Aniston, the 53-year-old renowned for her role as Rachel Green in Friends, recently opened up about the challenges she faced in her late 30s and 40s.
In a recent interview with Allure magazine, Aniston highlighted the harsh treatment women in the industry face when they choose not to have children, lamenting the unfair portrayal of her as selfish and solely career-focused.
Despite Meghan's apparent efforts to cozy up to her former co-star Jennifer Aniston, it seems unlikely that Aniston would agree to appear on Meghan's podcast.
Reports suggest that there has been a longstanding rift between the two, spanning nearly a decade.
Meghan's pursuit of A-list friendships seems to have backfired, with her attempts to connect with Aniston falling short of expectations.
The disappointment continued for Meghan when she landed a role in Horrible Bosses, hoping to impress Aniston and forge a friendship.
However, Aniston reportedly barely acknowledged Meghan's presence on set, leaving Meghan disheartened upon learning that her role had been significantly reduced.
Feeling let down by the experience, Meghan allegedly criticized the movie and its cast, asserting her own talent and expressing a desire to prove herself to Aniston in the future.
Aniston's reservations about Meghan were further fueled when rumors surfaced that Meghan aspired to become the next Mrs. Brad Pitt.
Amidst discussions about starring alongside Hollywood icons like Pitt and George Clooney, Meghan openly shared her admiration for Pitt, who was then going through a divorce with Aniston.
Aniston's wariness of Meghan's intentions grew as she perceived Meghan's interest in Pitt as a potential threat.
The strained relationship between Meghan and Aniston took another hit when Aniston's close friend Reese Witherspoon declined an invitation to appear on Meghan's podcast.
Witherspoon's refusal reportedly disappointed Meghan, who had hoped to feature the Big Little Lies star on an episode exploring the bimbo stereotype, a role reminiscent of Witherspoon's character in Legally Blonde.
Despite Meghan's desire to collaborate with Witherspoon, the actress seemed uninterested, possibly influenced by her admiration for Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.
Witherspoon's fondness for Kate Middleton and her discomfort with Meghan's public statements regarding her rift with Kate may have contributed to her reluctance to associate with Meghan.
The source suggested that Witherspoon values her connection with Kate and may have distanced herself from Meghan due to the perceived tension between Meghan and the royal family.
