Jennifer Aniston threw chair at director

By Alexandra Heilbron on October 7, 2011 | 8 Comments


In the latest issue of Elle magazine, Jennifer Aniston revealed that she once stood up to a director because she felt he was being disrespectful to his crew.

Although she declined to mention which director she was talking about or which movie they were working on, she revealed: “I threw a chair at a director. It wasn’t my proudest moment. He was treating a script supervisor horribly… When the director walked in, I threw a chair at him. I missed, of course. I was like, ‘You can’t speak to people like that.’ I can’t tolerate it.”

She sounds like one tough cookie! Kudos to her — how many A-list stars would speak up on behalf of the hard working crew members on a movie set?

    Apparently, the lesson in this article is that getting verbal diarrhea from your boss is wrong, but throwing chairs at them will get you respect. That, and two wrongs make a famous celebrity right.

    ^Pretty sure standing up for people being mistreated is somewhere in there as well.

    Wouldn’t have used a chair, but her heart was in the right place. Bully’s should not be tolerated.

    i think thats great that she did that. I didn’t think she was such a nice person, I thought she had a rep for being kind of unpleasant.

    WWYD?
    Good to see her stand up to what she thought was right. Can anyone verify this story?

    A very odd piece of NON-news. Huh?? Hmm, I smell something fishy. Might this be something her publicity people created to make her appear “stronger” in light of her appearing to be the “loser” so to speak re: Brad, etc. I’d be happy being a loser with her looks and money.
