Jennifer Aniston on going through 'dark s--t' in front of the world, how past pregnancy rumors were ‘nasty'

Jennifer Aniston opened up about how her “expectations” for her personal life shifted “overnight” after she stopped filming “Friends" in a recent interview. The actress also characterized the scrutiny of her lack of children as "really hurtful" and "nasty."

"The career was one thing. I didn't know what was coming, and that's been nothing but blessed. ... It was more personal stuff that I had expectations about that sort of shape-shifted, so to speak," Aniston said during an interview for The Hollywood Reporter's most recent cover story. 

"That was what was jarring, that we all had an idea of what the future was going to be, and we were going to go hunker down and focus on this or that, and then it all just changed overnight, and that was it."

"But again, everything's a blessing if you're able to look at life's ups and downs in that way," she added. "And if it all hadn't happened, I would not be sitting here, the woman that I am."
