CLAIM: Jennifer Aniston “Picks” Justin Theroux Over Sick Mom

Truth rating: 0

(GettyImages)

Ever since Jennifer Aniston began dating Justin Theroux, the tabloids have been working overtime to manufacture drama in the couple’s relationship.

So far, the mags have claimed they’re in couple’s therapy (false), at odds over Chelsea Handler (wrong) and fighting about Botox (b.s.), just to name a few blunders.

It’s In Touch‘s turn this week, running a story with the headline “Jen Picks Justin Over Family,” which reports, “Jen has only seen her 75-year-old mom, Nancy, once in L.A. since she suffered a stroke in September.”

The tab says Nancy, who became estranged from her daughter years ago when she published a tell-all book, “must rely on her friends and a team of caretakers to nurse her back to health while Jen crisscrosses the country with Justin.”

According to In Touch, Aniston basically ignores her mom.

“It’s a tragic state of affairs,” one of the older woman’s neighbors allegedly tells the tabloid. “You only have one mom, after all!”

And In Touch only has one setting: scandal.

The notion that Aniston has “picked” Theroux over her ailing mother is 100% untrue, despite what a single “neighbor” claims.

A rep for Aniston tells Gossip Cop the allegation is “completely false”, pointing out that the actress has seen her mom “several times” since returning to Los Angeles last week.

    Jen’s mom went to some European tabloid again a couple of years ago complaining that her daughter didn’t buy her a mansion, but just a condo. So Jen has probably kept her at arm’s length. I have a mother like that. Even when she was suffering from cancer she didn’t want her children around her because the doctors advised against stressful situations and she used that as an excuse to push us way. It is what it is. Jen’s probably paying for the army of caretakers and she did buy mom a condo. Not sure I’d be that generous if my mom kept talking to the press about me.

    Did anyone expect something different? Jennifer didn’t see her mother during her entire 10 years marriage to Brad Pitt, so why she her feeling towards her mother suddenly change now?

  • Captdolores

    Her Huvane PR guru will find a way to turn this around. That’s why he earns the big bucks. Notice all of a sudden Ms” Charity is not my thing”has been out pimping herself in these new Cancer adds. When will people begin to see throew her antics. She has a bomb of a movie coming out so her PR has her working overtime at being the humanitarian. HHow convenient. As for her Mom. The only reason she went in the first place was because of her directing debut that bombed also by the way. But the media knows that her fans are so delusional they will at lteast have them as viewers. Maybe. Her fans have not flocker to her movie disasters.

    How is 2 stories “working overtime”? Especially when the tabloids have known about this story for over a month and sat on it waiting to see if Aniston would ever deign to visit her mother? The fact of the matter is – Aniston DID choose her boyfriend and promoting her Lifetime directorial project over her sick 75 year-old mother. Her mother was sick. Aniston was on the East Coast boozing and partying and trying to promote herself as an up-and-coming director. Therefore Aniston abandoned her sick mother for her own selfish life. There’s nothing new about that. It’s not even the first time Aniston has done this. What else would you expect from a mega-millionaire who referred to their own mother as “a disease” and “a cancer”?

  • Hannah

    Delusional? are you for real? Sounds like you are still in the Jen vs Angie phase. Jen went and was with her mother when she was in the hospital. She most likely had a tia vs stroke! If you look at photos you can see her mother is fine (also with two caregivers). Who do you think is paying for those caregivers and her home? I am sure Jennifer is. Most people when they get older down size; why would Jen’s mother want a huge home she can’t take care of? No one has to spin or turn anything around – seems like your hate is blinding YOU! Jen has always given to charity, some times it is known and some times it isn’t so your point being what? Are you saying only Angelina has the right to say look at me give? Jen is still doing the type of charity work that she has been doing for years. I guess YOU again, can’t handle the fact that it IS becoming public! Go look it up! Just because You don’t like some one doesn’t take away from what they do and have done for YEARS! Jen went to New York because she had WORK to do there! Yes, promote her movie, go to a Charity auction and then she went back to Calif. How do you know that Jennifer wasn’t in touch with her mother and doctors daily? YOU DON”T! If you want to go to the Jen vs Jolie thing – Angelina wasn’t there when her mother died and Jolie knew her mother didn’t have much longer at the end! So I am to judge her? I don’t think so – that is between Jolie and her mother! Also, Jolie left for another country after SHE took her 2 or 3 year old to the ER and went to do charity work – I am not say she is a horrible mother – NO, because children get sick! people died! and people still have to live! As far as a bomb movie – Don’t think it could do any worse than Jack Black, Steve Martin, Owen Wilson or Jessica Parker movies! I think ANYONE doing for charity is a blessing whether they are my favorite people or not. I am thankful that people are getting helped and with the breast cancer movie and the promotion of the stories – guess what MORE people were made aware. Thank God! especially if one life was saved or ONE family helped! I enjoy Jennifer’s movie therefore I go! I don’t go hating on stars just because I don’t like the kind of movies they do – I just don’t go and WISH them ALL well! Stars are people trying to make a living at what they love just like the rest of the world however with a lot more pay! (lol) I also don’t down fans that go to see stars that I don’t like that kind of movie – I think good for them! at least THEY are seeing what THEY LIKE! There is plenty of room for ALL!

  • Hannah

    cont … Also, I love Jack Black, Steve Martin, Owen Wilson and Jessica Parker – so when I said their movies bomb – it wasn’t against them personally! All stars have movies that don’t do well at some point. I usually go to all Sarah Jessica Parker movies – Failure to Launch, Morgans, Sex in the City and so forth however this time I didn’t see her movie because of the story line NOT her! I will go see Jack Black and the rest in the next 2 weeks. I love comedies!

  • kay

    Jen has been to see her mother and I’m sure she was in touch with the doctors while she was in
    New York. She has been taking care of her mother for several years now. If she’s paying her
    mother’s expenses then perhaps she is going to have to keep working. My mother had a stroke
    and had to have care for three years. I had a job and family and couldn’t be there even through
    we were close. Her mother and dad were at her house for Christmas. Do you think her mother
    would want all the publicity that it would get when she isn’t at her best. Good for Jen for not
    showing pictures and making a big deal out of it.

  • Hannah

    so i guess in order to get you jolie fans to understand – angelina jolie chose her charity work when her mother DIED alone? and left right after her sick 3 year old was in the ER to do charity work? and left her twins when they were 6 months old to do a movie? jen’s mother was fine when she left out of the woods if you know anything about strokes or tias! you just have to see photos to know that is a fact! how do you know jennifer didn’t talk to her mother everyday and the doctors? you don’t! or how do you know that jen hasn’t seen her mother? because the tabloids say she hasn’t! look at the caregivers not one but two! YOU can see jen’s mother is doing good. by the way – jen went to new york to work, to promote breast cancer awareness movies, go to charity auction and etc… not to see a boyfriend as HE was already in Calif with her when her mother got ill! by the way i will say – sorry angelina – you fans are unreal – the only way to get them to see the BIG picture is to use you. i am really sorry and believe you had to do what you thought was best! i am happy that jennifer’s mother is out and about! that should be the real story! that she is doing well! tabloids!

  • sandy

    Jen’s mother also has a son John and not once has he been mentioned. Jen has been taking care of
    her mother for quite awhile and since she got out of the hospital she was doing okay when Jen left
    for New York. I’m sure since we have phones, e-mail and all that, she knew how her mother was
    all the time. We’ve never seen a lot of the stars parents, maybe they don’t care for the publicity.
    Good for Jen for doing the film on breast cancer with all the other women. They all showed up to
    promote it, not just her.

  • Mnj

    Ha ha I like you hannah. You see what I see a whole bunch of hater who just hate jen for no reason and will talk nad about her with out even knowing what she is doing. Oh about this their was only one day that the papz saw jen goin to visit her mother it doeant mean she only went once. She went to NYC cuz she had work to do. You are not going to leave your work just cuz your mom had a stroke and if I do remember I think her mom was better a few days after she jad the stroke. My godmother had a stroke they let her out a few days of the hospital amd she was all better she just needed to rest. And if I do remember jen left a week after her mother had had the stroke. Also justin was with her at the hospital how do you chose between someone if their together with you. It just stupid. Also she is back in LA with her bf and her bf had stayed in LA they would be sayin dat he was cheatin on her cuz he didnt go with her.

  • Ange

    Why? Jen’s life is none of your business.
    Whoever believes In Touch’s reports is stupid and brainless.
    Haters should grow up, take care of your own business and leave Jen alone.
    You’re not going to see any photo showing that Jen and her mom are together.
    Jen knows how to protect her family and keep them out of spotlight.
    .

  • Louise

    Jennifer didn’t choose Justin over her mom. She simply doesn’t care much about her. They haven’t had a relationship in years so expecting her to be a devoted daughter is ridiculous. The funny thing is Jennifer visited her mother once and all of the tabloids and blogs were gushing what a wonderful daughter she was. She went to NYC the next day.

  • Anonymous

    i don’t get why you’re bringing angie’s name in this. are you even for sure that that kid is an angie fan. maybe that kid is just a hater? i don’t believe this bs story and no angelina did not leave her mother to die alone to do charity work and all that bs. even if you were giving an example its still pretty annoying that you’re bringing her name up in here… this has nothing to do with angelina, so leave her out of it.

  • HeartlessAniston

    Gossipcop, stick to ‘busting bad dish,’ and not creating it. Look. We get it, because brad Pitt left, Aniston gets a free sympathy pass for life, even including taking her side over the frail elderly sick mother who she’s largely ignored and banished from her millionaire tv hacktress life. That’s no excuse for you lying and saying Aniston became estranged from her mother BECAUSE of a ‘tell all’ book. The estrangement (aka as Aniston kicking her mother to the curb) happened FIRST, and when YEARS went by with no communication from her heartless daughter, THEN she wrote the book. Get it straight GC. You lose all credibility when you don’t, and people may wonder of certain PR flacks own you.

  • ObsessedWITHbrangelinaRU

    Shut up you disingenuous bitter jealous cow, dragging Angelina into this heartless witch Aniston’s drama. How DARE you! Jolie and her beloved mother battled her cancer as a family, together from the time Jolie was still an adolescent until she had given birth to a child. It w her mother swish, that she and brad live their lives, and work…she didn’t want them hovering over her bedside. As anyone with cancer that goes into remission knows, particularly people that battle it for a decade, you don’t know when it will come back, it can be sudden and take everyone by surprise. So shut your diseased fcking mouth you callous *tch with your Jolie obsession, Jolie and her cherished beloved mother, have NOTHING to do with Aniston treating her sick mother like a plague for close to two decades, not inviting her to her own wedding, and letting the poor woman go to low income health clinics for care. Sometimes i think Aniston has you dumb bishes fooled and hoodwinked, and then when you jealous bitter hags, who are not over it, continue to whine, I’m convinced you know damnned well what an evil bore Aniston is, you just take her side, even against her frail sad elderly mother who has no one, not because you like Aniston so much, but because you can’t possibly slip over to team brangelina. Criticism for that lame-iston, in your eyes, means your giving points to the Jolie Pitts, …and you just can’t have that. You’d punch that old lady in the face and gag her, just to protect your fraudulent nice girl next door, whose really a truly awful person. Ask her mother.

  • Hannah

    you don’t know how jennifer feels about her mother since they made up! jen cares or she wouldn’t have gone! period! no one knew her mother was in the hospital until jen went to see her! yes, jen is a wonderful daughter to forgive her mother for what she did not once , not twice but over and over! jen knew her mother was ok when she left to go to ny – you do with a tia vs stroke if you are giving meds within a certain time period the stroke will have not have lasting effects. like her mother in the pictures – she might be using a cane to steady herself! if you look in the photos she has swapped sides with the cane. (a stroke usually is more dominant on one side) also, you don’t know how long jen’s mother was in the hospital before the media got a hold to the story either or how many times jen visited without being seen. if using you logical than angelina didn’t care about her mother since jolie knew the time was near and didn’t stay for less than a week to be with her mother at the end. so i wonder why all of the tabloids and blogs were gushing what a wonderful daughter she was since jolie wasn’t even there when her mother died! nor even spoke to her father for years when he was concern about her! gee, brangelina fans are something else! sorry again, jolie your fans just can’t see the whole picture! they don’t know! what jen saw or knew before she left – that she most likely talked to her mother and her doctors daily in ny! and that jen is paying for everything! not trying to see the whole picture just because you don’t like some one is so wrong! jen is a wonderful daughter!

  • Hannah

    go back and look they had to call angelina – i am sure that her mother had care givers just like jen’s mother has! that is the truth! brangelina fans should stop hating when they don’t know the whole story – or hate to hate! as i said jolie got brought into the mix because that is the only way her fans understand! is by using her as an example! i use to be annoyed by her jolie fans hate however since i don’t hate jolie it isn’t the same for me! trying to let brangelina fans that even their star has the same issues and has chosen the same! brangelina fans make it about jolie out of their hate and spite! so i explain by comparing! that way maybe one can see however only if they want too! by the way i love the name of jolie’s new movie. jen i hope all is going amazing for you, justin and your parents! happiness to all!

  • Hannah

    name calling! seriously! i know what cancer is like because my mother died of cancer so you don’t have to tell me! however calling names doesn’t change anything! maybe you feel like a big person for it who knows! i wasn’t judging jolie however YOU are! all the things you have said about jolie loving her mother well i bet jen feels the same! a child is a child no matter what the age! however, jen’s mother hasn’t been the loving mother yet you judge jen. you talk about sides it isn’t about sides! the fact is that we have to make choices and who are we to judge? i used jolie as a comparison since that is the only way to show her fans. unlike you i stated i wasn’t her judge! i didn’t criticize jolie – you just proved my point. so thank you. have a wonderful day.

  • Maeve

    Nancy Dow lives in a rented apartment … not a condo. Jen didn’t “buy” her anything. Nancy pays the rent herself. She also didn’t “go to some European tabloid” a couple of years ago. SH ehas never said anything negative about her daughter.

  • Maeve

    Angelina was absolutely with her Mother when she dies and so was Brad and AJ’s brother. Angelina also paid for her Mother’s care for 9 years as well as a hotel suite so she could be close to her doctors in AL.

  • Maeve

    Nancy Dow has absolutely been a loving mother. She made one mistake of going on an entertainment TV show and Jen told her she would never speak to her again.

    Hannah you need to get your news from same place other than tabloids.

  • Maeve

    Angelina’s mother wasn’t alone when she died. Quit lying! Even the tabloid said Brad was with their toddler when AJ had to leave so she was hardly “alone” if it happened at all. She also didn’t “leave” her twins to do a movie. They were with her on the set everyday and they were 9 months old.

    BTW: There is no picture of Jen going to see her mom. She was pictured coming out of a spa.

  • Maeve

    Quit lying about Angelina Hannah!

  • Hannah

    have you read the book NOT! so you don’t know!

  • Hannah

    you need to get your facts straight! you are not a loving mother when you tell your daughter that she isn’t pretty! you are not a loving mother when you go on a talk show your daughter gets up set but forgives you and then does it again and then writes a book about her daughter! who do you think is paying for the caregivers? also, angelina mother had her own money as she gave some to the 3 grandchildren at the time. again, brangelina proving the point. thank you!

  • Hannah

    caregiver not jolie they had to call jolie! that is a fact! why are you attempting to change the truth. it doesn’t make jolie a bad person – she didn’t love her mother any less and her mother knew it. however, the truth is angelina was not with her mother when she died. deflecting doesn’t change the truth. however, you seem to have a double standard – i have the same for both ladies. i don’t think either are wrong! the fact is if you are downing jennifer then you have to down jolie. no difference!

  • Hannah

    no one has to lie! the truth is the truth! you just don’t want to accept the truth because you make jolie look bad if you think jen was wrong? hate can come back to bite!

  • Anonymous

    ugh and how do you know that the “caregiver” had to call angelina… it isn’t a fact just because a media or a news prints it out for everyone to. do you go and stalk angie and follow her every move, did angelina said it herself that the caregivers had to call her to let her know that her mother is about to die. no you don’t, and like i said i don’t believe this bs story, i was just telling you that you shouldn’t have to mention angelina’s name because jens and her moms relationship is different from angies and her mom.

  • Hannah

    well now it is only a fact when the media prints untrue things about jennifer but not jolie? jolie was doing charity work – that isn’t wrong! that doesn’t take away from her love from her mother! jen loves her mother and she was in ny with charity and promoting breast cancer awareness that isn’t wrong nor does it take away the love from her mother! you want to judge jennifer for what you don’t know or bits of information and give a free pass to angelina? that is your judging! either both or wrong or both did what was right in their relationship with their mother! my personal belief is we don’t know everything and it is their relationship with their mother and the real story should be jen’s mother is doing good and out and about. that is wonderful!

  • Hannah

    jolie wasn’t there she was doing charity – fact! that isn’t wrong! no one is saying jolie didn’t love and care for her mother the point and truth is – if you are saying jennifer is a bad daughter using your measuring stick than jolie is too! you have set yourself up to judge jennifer yet use a different standard when measuring jolie. can’t do that! brangelina! same rules to all! your hate covers you judgment after 7 years!

  • Beck

    Jen has given huge amounts of money to St Jude’s and has worked with them for over a decade. She just doesn’t seem to feel the need to jump in front of the camera and say “look at me – I’m giving” every time she gives a $1. She is not close to her mother and her mother tried to throw her under a bus to cash in on her success. I think it is kind of her to re-open the relationship at all.

  • anon

    the timing of this is curious. jolie is promoting her firm.

    also, the last person i would presume to betray me is my mother. so, it is hard to forgive someone one really trusts.

  • Brandalla69

    What a joke, Im sure she pays for her Mother’s health care and all her bills and expenses in every way. Its no secreat that she has had a very unhappy relationship with her Mother, and it is her Mohter’s fault, she is a toxic peson who wants a alot more than she ever gave. I dont blame Je.n and I certainly dont judge her. Im quite sure if she had ever had a Mother who spoke well of her and defended her and was on her side instead of on the side of her enemies, then she would have a much different relationship with her. Somtimes you get what you give.

  • Cathyjon

    I feel sorry for you that your relationship with your Mother is not a wonderful one. It’s nice to think though that if you had Jennifer’s money no matter what your personal feeling’s were about your Mother or where your relationship stood…sounds like you would be kind enough and a bigger person to help your Mother if she was ill. After all we only get one Mommy.

  • Roman40

    Aniston is a phoney…smell the coffee…only when it suits her does she do anything decent…Check out her commercial with little girl suffering from cancer at St. Jude’s (which is a Charity that her father told her to get a little with to make herself look more desirable to the public) anyway jennifer say’s a couple of rehearsed lines then goes to kiss the the child…ahhhh but her lip’s never touched the child…one of the most insincere things I have ever witnessed. If You can even find it anymore..I have not seen it since it was brought to St. Jude’s attention. Very sad I spent 15 yrs. in pediatric cancer ward with my sister’s son. I know what a sincere person face looks like when they truly care.

    Like hell she does…she didn’t even know how to protect her own marriage…she is an idiot! Aniston btw doesn’t keep anything out of the spotlight..it’s all she has going for her. Although at this point she should really try and keep the spotlight off herself…she’s looking like a he lately. Not to mention the world’s favorite girl next door image is long gone…just like Brad.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_BIXJY2H2NIYZ27N2KRII7CDN2M EmmaG

    Hanna is lying. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were in New Orleans (where Brad was filming “The Curious Life of Benjamin Button”) when Cedar-Sinai Medical Center called and said they’d better haul ashes back to L.A. Brad and Angie flew back to L.A. in a private plane and arrived at the hospital 4 hours before Marcheline passed away. Angelina, her brother James Haven, and Brad where at Marcheline’s bedside when she passed away. Brad Pitt said in an interview at the time that watching Angie and her brother’s pain just after their mother passed away was the hardest thing he’s ever witnessed in his life. Every mainstream and tabloid news source reported this when Angie’s mother died, so how could you have missed it and ‘why’ do you insist upon lying about it? Don’t want to take my word for it? Here’s the article about Marcheline’s death from “People” magazine: http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20062643,00.html. Here’s the article about Marcheline’s death from “OK” magazine: http://www.okmagazine.com/passings/breaking-angelina-jolies-mother-dies.

    As I have stated before in my 15 years of being a nurse for plastic surgeon’s…Noone has ever brought in a picture of Jennifer Aniston and wanted to resemble her. But I have seen just about every woman come in photo’s of Angelina Jolie and truly want to look her. These are the facts…I am in the office’s, I see this myself whether you like it or not. Stop being so jealous of Ms.Jolie it’s ugly on you.

  • Guest

    You exactly correct EmmaG. The world just can’t stand to see a happy couple anymore…how sad. Stay blessed!

    Hannah get your facts straight before posting ….you look like an idiot.

  • Autumlovr

    I’d just like to know where these people come from who are still so narrow minded and/or clueless they believe that everybody has a loving kind wonderful mom much less a “bff” relationship with their mothers. Pu-leese. Mother is a title, not an indicator of just what kind of person is behind that label. I resent people thinking it’s an adult child’s responsibility to visit or take care of a parent when said parent is abusive. Relationships works both ways and if they are toxic to you, you do the healthiest thing by creating distance.

  • Ruby Beermann

    you are really obsessed….poor you!!!

  • Valikee1

    I never saw anything special about Jennifer Aniston. In my opinion her only claim to fame is the sitcom Friends. I’ve watched her movies and again in my opinion, no talent. In spite of my opinion, people seem to love her work. She is very successful and that’s good for her….

  • Shellfish789

    My mother was very mean to me while I grew up….she would tell lies and cause confusion between siblings….she would always talk about me behind my back to my brothers and other family members…

    When she got sick…..the people she so Godly praised did not want to be bother with her and I offered for her to stay with me……

    She died in the hands of lots of vultures…who rip her off…

    Jen has to do what ever she can for her mother despite of her nastiness at a arm length…and move on….

  • Guest

    Yes she vis very successful for now…and your right it is good for HER..and her alone…SELFISH BITCH that’s one reason Brad left. She hide under the whole girl next door image ,but the world is really seeing her as she is. SOOON JENNIFER>>time running out for your fake fame…without your marriage to Brad you would …maybe still be on TV..most probably not though…and do something about your manish looks. Its getting bad…spend some of your “FRIENDS” monies on a decent surgeon..cause the one you have now is making things worse for you.

  • KimberlyWatson

    If Kate wanted to run around naked so as photo’s could have been or would have been taken of her she have married Harry instead of William. And No she does not have the right that commoners do any longer and she know’s that. Why don’t most of you know this?
