Jennifer Aniston has addressed several outlandish stories written about her during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
After the audience erupted into laughter over the outlet’s baseless claim that the actress had developed a close friendship with the former president, Aniston called out the story to be false.
“Of all the calls you get from your publicist where you’re just like, ‘oh no, what’s it going to be?’, or the email saying, ‘some cheesy tabloid is going to make up a story’… and then it’s that. I was not mad at it,” she quipped.

“That is absolutely untrue,” she clarified, adding that she had only met the 44th US president once, and actually “knows Michelle [Obama] more.”
Kimmel then read out a series of headlines about the “Morning Show” star.
“Oh good, we’re going to dispel rumors, I love this,” she said, as Kimmel read the claims out.

Aniston shut down rumors that she installed a “$4,000 anti-aging water filter” for her dogs in her home, and a claim that she boasted a “black belt in jujitsu.”
However, she did come clean about a few other outlandish headlines that turned out to be true.
Among those, the actress admitted to enjoy a salmon sperm facial, traveling abroad with jars of olives, and being approached for a selfie by a fan while nude at a sauna.
She was also asked if she really has “a zip-loc bag” filled with her “dead therapist’s ashes.”

While many of the claims were false, Aniston did admit to having a salmon sperm facial and carrying around “a zip-loc bag” filled with her “dead therapist’s ashes.”
“Can I plead the [fifth]? That’s a little true… I’m going to sound like I really need a therapist after this,” she shared.
“Sounds like you need one one way or the other,” Kimmel quipped.
Aniston previously addressed carrying her late therapist’s ashes in a 2012 interview with GQ.
“I have my therapist[‘s ashes] in a bag. She thought of me sort of like a daughter, and I thought of her sort of like a mom. I went to her funeral. They split her up into little Ziploc bags they handed out like party favors,” she told the outlet at the time.
Elsewhere, Kimmel asked whether Aniston’s family would really “make her belly dance” in front of guests every Christmas Eve.

“No just Christmas Eve,” she said. “[It was] like when you say to your child, ‘Play piano for everyone,’ or, ‘Let’s sing for everyone.’”
“I get such anxiety when my friends do that to their children, because I have inner trauma from having to perform and belly dance for my Greek aunts and uncles and grandmothers. I get it,” she added.
