Jennifer Aniston recently shut down rumors that she had been having a secret relationship with former United States of America president Barack Obama.
As it turns out, her first-hand experience of infidelity rumors within her relationship with Brad Pitt led her to take this course of action.
There have been constant suggestions recently that Obama’s marriage with former first lady Michelle Obama is coming to an end, and those rumors have coincided with suggestions that he has been having an affair with Aniston.
Michelle did not attend the funeral of Jimmy Carter with her husband, nor was she present at Donald Trump’s recent inauguration as he begins a second stint as president. She was the only former first lady who was not present.
A clip of Aniston in October has resurfaced, in which she actually addressed the rumors on Jimmy Kimmel’s show and said they were ‘absolutely untrue’.
Aniston shuts it down
“Jen was going to have her people either not respond or give a “no comment,” but she thought that would add fuel to the fire,” a source revealed to DailyMail.com.
“She decided to shut it down before it could get even more out of hand.
“She barely knows Obama, let alone is dating him. She told friends that after all these years of being in the spotlight, this has to be the most bizarre piece of gossip she has ever heard about herself.”
The source added: “She truly doesn’t know how people come up with this stuff out of nowhere. More than being concerned about it, she’s totally baffled.
“However, Jen’s upset for Michelle because she’s seen stories about the Obamas’ marriage being on the rocks and she knows first hand what it is like to be at the center of stories like that.”
