With FRIENDS dominating the TV screens during the 1990s, Jennifer Aniston and the rest became household names, gaining a plethora of fans. The show’s success was also a result of the close relationship the cast shared behind the scenes. Even after the end of the television blockbuster, they can often be spotted together.
However, there is one instance that caught the interest of many fans, making them doubt whether the FRIENDS cast are really friends in real life or not. What made fans doubt them was when Jennifer Aniston did not invite her co-star, Matt LeBlanc to her second wedding after he flunked out of her first.
How Matt LeBlanc Betrayed Jennifer Aniston
The FRIENDS cast reunited in 2021 for FRIENDS: The Reunion. They reminisced about the time they spent together and how close they have become since then. However, fans were quick to point out that they weren’t as close since Jennifer Aniston did not invite her co-stars to her second wedding in 2015. While we don’t know the real reason, it might have been related to what went down during Jennifer Aniston’s first wedding with Brad Pitt. LeBlanc revealed in an interview that Aniston wasn’t pleased when he declined the invite.
“I missed when she married Brad. I was in Austria working. She called me, and she was like, ‘You’re really not coming to my wedding?’ And I was like, ‘I asked them if they could change the schedule. I would fly and clap and fly out.’ And they said, ‘We can’t do it. It’s too tight.’ It was a small-budget movie in Austria you’ve never heard of. Probably should have left anyway, but s— happens. What are you going to do?”
Aniston Did Not Invite LeBlanc To Her Second Wedding After His Betrayal
Many were shocked when Jennifer Anniston chose not to invite Matt LeBlanc and the rest of her FRIENDS male co-stars to her second wedding with Justin Theroux. The two had a very intimate wedding attended by Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, her two other co-stars from FRIENDS.
Although LeBlanc did not get an invite, he was very happy for the newlyweds.
“I think they’re a great couple. I think she’s happy. And that’s all I care about is that Jen’s happy. If she wanted me there, I would have been there. Jen’s like my little sister, Courteney, and Lisa are like my big sisters, but Jen’s like my little sister. Matthew’s like my little brother and David’s like my big brother. That’s how it all broke down. And it’s literally just like chronological.”
Similar sentiments were expressed by Matthew Perry who was also snubbed from the wedding along with LeBlanc and David Schwimmer.
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux divorced back in 2018. While Jennifer Aniston is still single today, who knows if she might get a third one in, and invite the whole FRIENDS cast for it.
