Hollywood actress Jennifer Aniston found herself in an unexpected situation when she was spotted being doused in oil during the filming of her celebrated series, The Morning Show, in Manhattan on Sunday (local time), according to the New York Post. At 55, Aniston was captured on camera with a visibly irritated expression as she was splashed with a sticky, tar-like substance, ruining her white shirt and slacks. It seems the scene involved her character, Alex, being encircled by protesters who threw oil at her.

This peculiar incident comes as the show has recently received a host of Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for both Aniston and her co-star, Reese Witherspoon, 48. The Morning Show delves into the inner workings of a fictional morning news program, focusing on the competitive dynamics between anchors Alex and Bradley (Witherspoon), and addresses current issues such as the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Aniston took to expressing her pride and honor on social media, celebrating the 16 Emmy nominations her show received. She posted, "Happy Sweet 16 indeed! I'm so honoured and so proud of our show and all of our wildly talented actors, directors and crew! #grateful."
