Jennifer Aniston has sparked a bit of controversy this Christmas.
The actor became a trending topic on Twitter December 26—and no, it's not because of the upcoming Friends reunion or her adorable puppy, Lord Chesterfield, this time. Instead, Aniston found herself in the middle of a debate over a COVID-themed Christmas ornament.
It all started when the Friends alum posted a photo on her Instagram Story Christmas Day that showed her holding a wooden decoration with the words “Our first pandemic 2020' engraved on it.
It's unclear if the ornament is hers, but Twitter roasted her for it, regardless, as many weren't happy to see Aniston commemorating what has been such a dark time for many. Some called the ornament's message “insensitive,” “out of touch,” and “tone-deaf” in light of the millions of lives that have been lost to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
“Jennifer Aniston is a damn fool for posting that ornament on her story… celebrities are ditzy af,” one person tweeted, adding, “'Cheers to our first pandemic of 2020, where millions of people died! Let’s celebrate that on a Christmas ornament!'”
'All celebrities have done during this pandemic is show how out of touch and just f--ing oblivious they are to anything that doesn't have to do with them. Some people's entire family have died, but at least Aniston is showing how quirky she can be,' another follower tweeted.
However, others quickly came to Aniston's defense, saying the ornament was simply a joke.
Some even called out those trying to “cancel” Aniston over the image.
Aniston has previously shared posts about the victims on COVID-19 and consistently urged her followers to wear masks to prevent the spread. “I understand masks are inconvenient and uncomfortable,” she wrote back in July. “But don’t you feel that it’s worse that businesses are shutting down... jobs are being lost... health care workers are hitting absolute exhaustion. And so many lives have been taken by this virus because we aren’t doing enough.”
She continued, “I really do believe in the basic goodness of people so I know we can all do this 🥰 BUT still, there are many people in our country refusing to take the necessary steps to flatten the curve, and keep each other safe. People seem worried about their ‘rights being taken away’ by being asked to wear a mask. This simple and effective recommendation is being politicized at the expense of peoples’ lives. And it really shouldn’t be a debate 🙏🏼 If you care about human life, please... just #wearadamnmask 😷 and encourage those around you to do the same ❤️”

“Wow that Rogan interview got em shook Let’s gooooooooo,” West wrote in the tweet, referencing his interview on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast where he talked about his presidential campaign.
He then tweeted, “Friends wasn’t funny either.”

Earlier this week, the Friends actress posted on Instagram a photo of her voting for Joe Biden, urging her fans to not vote for Kanye.
“This whole thing isn’t about one candidate or one single issue,” Aniston wrote alongside a snap of her showing off her “I Voted” sticker. “It’s about the future of this country and the world. Vote for equal human rights, for love, and for decency. PS – It’s not funny to vote for Kanye. I don’t know how else to say it. Please be responsible.”

While West spoke to Rogan, he claimed that his renewed Christian faith was what inspired him to run for president.
“It was something that God put in my heart back in 2015. A few days before the MTV awards it hit me in the shower,” West said. “When I first thought of it, I just started laughing to myself and all this joy came over my body, through my soul.”
In West’s first video to promote his run for president, he asked his fans to write his name on the ballot when they vote.
The video angered a lot of fans who thought Kanye was taking away a vote for the former vice president, Joe Biden.
A similar fallout occurred when West’s sister-in-law Kourtney Kardashian posted a picture of herself posing in a ‘VOTE KANYE’ hat on her Instagram story, with a link to his ‘Kanye 2020’ website.

Kim previously expressed her disapproval of him running for president this year.
The 39-year-old KUWTK star “lost her sh*t” when her husband tearfully screamed on stage they almost aborted their daughter North West, 7, during an explosive rant at his first presidential campaign.
