Jennifer Aniston, renowned for her role in Friends, endured a challenging childhood due to her mother’s harsh criticism. Her mother, actress Nancy Dow, constantly berated her, labeling her as “ugly” and pointing out physical flaws. Raised by her mother following her parents’ divorce, Jennifer suffered from low self-esteem and was burdened by dyslexia, causing academic difficulties.
Despite her challenging upbringing, Jennifer found confidence in Hollywood, even undergoing a nose job, which her mother disapproved of. She decided to cut ties with her mother, not speaking to her for 15 years. After therapy, Jennifer realized her mother’s intent was not cruelty but a misguided attempt at love and her upbringing shaped her into the person she is today.
