Jennifer Anniston was estranged from her mother:
For well over a decade, Jennifer annsiton was estranged from her mother, Nancy Dow. The reason? In 1999, Dow published a tell-all book called From Mother & Daughter to Friends: A Memoir. Although Aniston claimed in 2015 in a interview with The Hollywood Reporter that she & Dow are “all fine now,” the Emmy-winner admitted things were pretty rough for a while, especially when she was growing up. Aniston explained: “She was very critical of me. Because she was a model, she was gorgeous, stunning. I wasn’t. I never was. I honestly don’t think of myself in that sort of light, which is fine. She was also very unforgiving. She would hold grudges that I found very petty.” Dow divorced anniston’s father, Days of our lives star, John Aniston, in 1980. Meanwhile, Dow was not invited to her daughter’s wedding, to brad pitt in 2000, or her 2015 wedding Justin Theroux. -

Speaking to the UK’s telegraph in 2014, leblanc let it slip that he had been arrested multiple times in the past for driving under the influence. After discussing his character’s DUI arrest in season 3 of episodes, he revealed that he’d gotten busted for driving under the influence twice. He elaborated: “When I was young and stupid.
