Celebrity brawls are not uncommon, and they are always entertaining to watch from afar. The audience has a good time as well. And, more often than not, the one with the bigger name wins the battle.
Jennifer Aniston is fighting a similar battle, literally. The 53-year-old is competing against Sarah Jessica Parker of SATC fame. The advantage in the television world is at stake!!
Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker’s feud
According to a source, Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker are eager to gain a competitive advantage in the television industry.
The source said, “Jen will never admit how bitter the rivalry between her and Sarah Jessica Parker is, but it’s an open secret in Hollywood that they have zero time for one another.”
The rivalry has existed for quite some time. However, there is disagreement about the time when the rivalry was said to have begun. And what exactly is the reason for this tooth-and-nail battle between two legendary television figures?
According to Heat Magazine, Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker have a long history of feuding. It can be traced back to when the two were extremely successful in their ventures. Aniston was a cast member on the hit NBC comedy sitcom Friends, while Parker was a household name thanks to her role in SATC.
And it appears that Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker are about to square off again.
With Jen set to return to screens with the third season of The Morning Show and SJP currently filming the second season of And Just Like That…, a new showdown is on the horizon as both women vie for the title of ”Queen of TV.”
“Jen and Sarah Jessica once again find themselves in an identical position, which has happened at various points during their respective careers,” our insider says.
“It’s common knowledge they’re both stressed about these next seasons and desperate to out-shine each other in the ratings – there’s a ton of money at stake, as well as pride.
“Sarah Jessica and Jennifer have never been friends, but more than that, there are cold economics to consider. The goal is simple: to be the face of the number one scripted streaming programme for certain-aged women. This is the same battle for attention Sarah Jessica and Jen fought almost 20 years ago when Sex And The City and Friends were at their height.”
They were two of the biggest stars on television at the time, and while Jen was regarded as the ultimate girl next door, SJP was regarded as more edgy.
They always did their best to avoid awkward situations, but now that they’re back on our screens, they feel like they’re pitted against each other once more.
“Jen and Sarah Jessica are finding themselves back where they were in the early noughties – in direct opposition to one another as stars and producers with high-stakes projects riding on them,” the insider says.
“It really comes down to the numbers, and who gets the better reaction from audiences. Jen and Sarah Jessica are both drawn to situations where there’s a clear winner and loser, and this is one of those situations.
“Both of them have made it very clear that this is a matter of personal and professional pride, and it means so much to each of them to come out on top. The show bosses are of the same belief and they’re all ready to come out fighting.”
