Jennifer Aniston has addressed the viral images of her being doused in ‘oil’.
The Friends star was seen on the set of the new season of Apple TV+’s The Morning Show, covered in what appeared to be fake oil. This left many onlookers baffled.
While the exact context within the series is still unknown, it’s safe to say Aniston’s character will be embroiled in some significant public scandal.
Photos captured Aniston drenched in the dark liquid, which ruined her white blouse and light-colored pants.
Addressing the incident, Aniston made a playful comment about the situation during the filming of the show’s upcoming fourth season.
She posted a picture on her Instagram, reclining in a wooden folding chair on set.
In the image, she had one leg propped up, prominently displaying the large black stain streaking down her left side from her shoulder to her ankle.
Aniston also shared multiple other photos featuring herself and her colleagues on the drama’s set.
Her caption read simply: “I ❤️ NY.”
The footage was so realistic that many people initially believed Aniston had been attacked by protestors in New York City.
Questions arose, with one Twitter user asking: “The people protesting big oil threw oil on Jennifer Aniston and she looks confused and horrified. Why do you think they targeted her?”
Another commented: “By whom and what was their motive?”
However, other social media users quickly clarified the situation, confirming it was a staged scene for the show.
If you listen closely to the full video, you can hear someone say ‘cut’.
One person explained: “That’s from the show my dude. In a longer version of the video you can hear ‘cut’ at the end and everyone breaks.”
The Morning Show portrays a fictional morning news program, delving into the conflicts and scandals it faces.
Apple TV+ has yet to announce the release date for the fourth season, but it is anticipated to premiere sometime next year.
