Jennifer Aniston was recently doused in fake oil by climate protestors while filming a scene for the upcoming fourth season of Apple TV+’s *The Morning Show* in New York City. The 55-year-old actress, who portrays TV anchor Alex Levy, was caught off guard as she attempted to report live from a demonstration. The incident, which left her visibly shocked, involved a protestor throwing a bucket of the substance over her white blouse and khaki trousers, resulting in a messy scene that also affected her handbag and high heels. The fourth season of *The Morning Show* continues to explore the fallout from a series of allegations against a prominent news anchor, featuring a star-studded cast that includes Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup, and Julianna Margulies. Despite the show's high-profile lineup, the previous season received mixed reviews, with critics labeling it as “flavourless” and “textureless.” The Independent’s Nick Hilton specifically criticized the third season, suggesting it lacked depth and engagement. Aniston has also faced backlash for her comments regarding intimacy coordinators while preparing for a sex scene with Jon Hamm. In an interview with *Variety*, she expressed skepticism about the role, stating, “I’m from the olden days,” which sparked criticism on social media. Critics argued that her remarks trivialized the important work of intimacy coordinators, who ensure the comfort and safety of all cast and crew members during intimate scenes. The first three seasons of *The Morning Show* are currently available for streaming on Apple TV+.
