The actor criticized Trump's running mate for his views on Kamala Harris and other Democrats, expressing hope his daughter would never need IVF.
Jennifer Aniston criticizes JD Vance’s ‘childless cat ladies’ comment
On Instagram, Aniston said, “I truly cannot believe this is coming from a potential VP. All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day.”
Aniston was responding to JD Vance’s resurfaced 2021 comments where he told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that the US was being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable with their own lives and the choices they’ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.” He named Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, stating, “The entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. How does it make any sense we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?”
Aniston, who has been open about her struggles with fertility, including failed attempts at aided conception, added to her post that she hoped Vance’s daughter “will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too.”
Vance, who has three children, has been vocal about his opposition to abortion and even fertility treatments. Speaking last week at a campaign speech in Michigan, Kamala Harris highlighted the stances adopted on women’s rights by Trump’s new running mate.
“This is a fellow who—in the United States Senate—participated in blocking protections for IVF,” Harris said. “This is an individual who has made every indication that he is for a national abortion ban.”
In 2016, Aniston wrote an essay for the Huffington Post about enduring many years of tabloid gossip and speculation over whether she wanted or could have children. She wrote, “Here’s where I come out on this topic: We are complete with or without a mate, with or without a child. We get to decide for ourselves what is beautiful when it comes to our bodies. That decision is ours and ours alone.”
In 2022, she told Allure that such fixation had been made more difficult to handle as she had undergone IVF without success. “All the years and years and years of speculation… It was really hard,” she said. “I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it.”
Kamala Harris is stepmother to husband Doug Emhoff’s son Cole, 29, and daughter Ella, 25. On Wednesday, their mother, Kerstin Emhoff, joined those expressing outrage over Vance’s comments. “These are baseless attacks,” she said. “For over 10 years, since Cole and Ella were teenagers, Kamala has been a co-parent with Doug and I. She is loving, nurturing, fiercely protective, and always present. I love our blended family and am grateful to have her in it.”
Buttigieg, who has children with his husband, Chasten, responded to Vance’s comments, noting that they had been made after “a fairly heartbreaking setback in our adoption journey. He couldn’t have known that, but maybe that’s why you shouldn’t be talking about other people’s children.”
