Piers Morgan blasts Jennifer Aniston for crying over her insecurities
The presenter told Jen to 'get a grip'
Controversial TV presenter Piers Morgan has ripped into Jennifer Aniston after she was filmed crying over her insecurities in a recent interview.
After seeing footage of the former 'Friends' star breaking down during an interview at the Giffoni Film Festival, Piers accused Jennifer of ‘self-wallowing’ before going into a full blown rant about the star.
Speaking on 'Good Morning Britain' he said “If it's going to upset you, don't put your body out there and do hundreds of magazine covers. You do have a choice. Nobody forced her to do naked magazine shoots. When you put your body out there like that, you're making your body a commodity and everyone can have a slice of the pie."

Piers then added "Nobody has to post a picture on Instagram or Twitter or Facebook. Nobody in Hollywood is legally compelled to do naked magazine covers.”
The controversial presenter then told the actress to ‘get a grip’ when he said “If you choose to for those things you can't go 'Oh poor me'. Get a grip! Remember, half the world is starving. There are people out there who have no money, no mansion, no Ferrari, no handsome Hollywood husband like Jennifer. That's my take on this. Get a grip, Jennifer."
Piers’ co-host, Susanna Reid, disagreed with Piers and showed her support for the Hollywood actress.
Jennifer’s emotional interview comes just a week after she penned an open letter to fans to address pregnancy rumours about herself.
The 47-year-old revealed she doesn’t like the way women are being portrayed and blasted various media outlets who are ‘obsessed’ with her life.
In the letter which is titled ‘For The Record’, Jennifer said “For the record, I am not pregnant. What I am is fed up”.

Her letter reads:
“I'm fed up with the sport-like scrutiny and body shaming that occurs daily under the guise of 'journalism,' the 'First Amendment,' and 'celebrity news.'
"This past month in particular has illuminated for me how much we define a woman’s value based on her marital and maternal status. The sheer amount of resources being spent right now by press trying to simply uncover whether or not I am pregnant (for the bajillionth time... but who’s counting) points to the perpetuation of this notion that women are somehow incomplete, unsuccessful, or unhappy if they’re not married with children.
"Yes, I may become a mother some day, and since I’m laying it all out there, if I ever do, I will be the first to let you know." (sic)
Piers or Jennifer are yet to comment further on the situation.
