Doesn’t she have any famous friends? Where has all her money gone? Does she have to live in L.A? It just all seems bizarre, just move somewhere cheaper.

She won't work. She gets about $5k a month from him but it's "not enough".

They had a house, but she dragged proceedings on for 4 years to the point they had to sell to pay legal fees.

Someone has set up a bloody GoFundMe!

She claims she can’t afford to live in LA on the $4500 a month he gives her and so is being evicted. She doesn’t seem willing to get a regular job to make up the difference, the kids aren’t small but she makes money from fan conventions and appearances which is clearly not a realistic way of supporting yourself and kids, she has to suck it up and get a normal job in the supermarket or something, I know that is hard if you are an actress but that is what everyone else in the same situation has to do. She seems to think her ex has way more money than he does because he lives in a $5000 a month apartment but in LA that is far from the lap of luxury, obviously she is trying to get him to give her more. They must be wasting so much money in legal fees!

Englishsummerblues · 14/05/2025 23:30

The idea of a go fund me for someone on 5K a month seems ludicrous. And offensive

I had to Google her, but maybe she doesn't have many (any?) friends.

FanofLeaves · 14/05/2025 23:39

I’m not sure she has any friends left, and the ones she has have been exhausted of their goodwill.

IWillJustSayThis · 14/05/2025 23:51

To be honest, the whole saga is a bit strange. It's unclear why she has to remain in LA in that specific (expensive) area? Why not do what many divorced parents do - move to a smaller property in a more affordable district. Of course it's not ideal to move / move schools but it's life.

It doesn't make sense to me at all.

He's got married, so she needed to get articles written about her. She's needed serious MH intervention years ago, it's a shame for their teen DDs.

ThisIsMyYearToFindMyself · 15/05/2025 00:04

How come she (or they, when they were married) didn’t purchase a property years ago? She says on her Instagram that the average property in her area is $4500 per month, they have been renting their house for a long time apparently. A couple of people have messaged saying they have spare rooms after she put up a post requesting one 😵‍💫.

Englishsummerblues · 15/05/2025 00:18

@ThisIsMyYearToFindMyselfapparently they had a house which they had to sell to pay legal costs. Pointless battle if she’s ended up skint!

Oh what a shame. All that money just gone. And the children, what a waste. They could have really set the children up for life I guess.

Sweetpea333 · 15/05/2025 01:24

She's pathetic and clearly has 'issues'.

Lentilweaver · 15/05/2025 01:26

She has severe mental health issues, I think. Her social media was a textbook example of why some people's phones should be taken away from them.

EconomyClassRockstar · 15/05/2025 01:30

I think she's the epitome of someone who couldn't let go that their relationship failed. Instead of getting her proverbial ducks in a row to get the best deal for herself and her kids, she shot them all.

Lentilweaver · 15/05/2025 01:30

That said, I think showbiz is very cruel to women. You are just tossed aside.

That's not just showbiz! She could have risen out of the ashes of her marriage but instead she got shitfaced and drunk posted every teeny tiny detail.

Englishsummerblues · 15/05/2025 01:33

People love to root for wronged women too, look at Jen An. She could have hugely profited from rising again rather than appearing unhinged and bitter for what is it like six years now?

Jenifer Aniston?! I think she has done pretty well with being the single woman in her 50s who doesn't care what everyone else thinks of her.

ArtemisiaTheArtist · 15/05/2025 01:58

I got divorced. I can't afford London rents on my own. Guess what? I'm moving to a cheaper area. It's just what you do.

CalicoPusscat · 15/05/2025 02:10

I can't see thar Jennifer Aniston is unhinged and bitter?? She's friendly with BP, she's rich, she has a lot of friends

She set one up herself.

She may or may not be making this up for attention to grift, but LA is expensive, she doesn’t work, and she has certain habits that aren’t cheap to maintain.

I don’t think that’s what OP was saying, rather that she was the ’wronged’ party when Brad Pitt left her, and public sympathy largely fell with her (and through her dignified behaviour afterwards has stayed with her). In this case all sympathy for Alice has long since disappeared.

CalicoPusscat · 15/05/2025 04:59

@CheeseWisely ah OK, I thought the 'she' straight after Jennifer Aniston's name meant pp was referring to her!

PivotPivotmakingmargaritas · 15/05/2025 05:33

What I don’t get is why the children still live with her …. She doesn’t appear to be the most stable influence and if she can’t house them

Unless he didn’t want them full time

She seems to think he is an A list actor worth billions but really he’s been a few movies and only two I can think of without googling

MoominUnderWater · 15/05/2025 05:48

She’s had a GoFundMe before when pleading poverty. But she Can always afford lip fillers! She needs to get a job…and help for her mental health issues.
