Jennifer Aniston explains the real reason behind denying bizarre rumours linking her to Barack Obama.

Jennifer Aniston has finally set the record straight regarding the bizarre rumours linking her romantically to former U.S. President Barack Obama. While the gossip was quickly dismissed by many, a new report has revealed the real reason behind Aniston’s decision to deny the claims.

Sources close to the actress divulged that initially, Aniston had planned to let the rumours die down without comment. “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,” the insider shared. Instead, Aniston chose to take proactive measures and shut down the gossip before it spiralled out of control.

The report continued, explaining that while the actress has learned to ignore outlandish rumours throughout her career, this particular one struck a nerve. “She barely knows Obama, let alone is dating him,” the source added. “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 rumours began when someone on social media claimed to have seen a direct message from Aniston to a friend, allegedly confessing to an affair with Obama. This sparked a wave of speculation, leading to widespread coverage. However, those close to Aniston have insisted that the claims are purely fabricated, with Aniston herself expressing how surreal and upsetting it was for such a rumour to gain traction.

Aniston’s decision to address the issue head-on appears to have been motivated not only by the ridiculous nature of the gossip but also by her desire to protect her friendships, particularly with Michelle Obama. A source revealed that Aniston was keen to clear things up before the rumour could reach a wider audience and potentially upset those involved.
