Jennifer Aniston thinks it's time to cancel cancel culture.
In an interview with WSJ Magazine, published online Tuesday, the former "Friends" star, 54, shared she's "so over cancel culture."
"I probably just got canceled by saying that. I just don't understand what it means," she added. "Is there no redemption? I don't know. I don't put everybody in the Harvey Weinstein basket."
Aniston also elaborated on her past experiences working with Weinstein, the disgraced movie mogul currently serving decades in prison on sexual assault charges. Sexual misconduct allegations against Weinstein from several actresses in 2017 prompted the rise of the #MeToo movement, which seeks to combat sexual harassment and improve workplace culture in Hollywood and other industries.
“He's not a guy, you're like, 'God, I can't wait to hang out with Harvey,'" Aniston said of Weinstein. "Never. You were actually like, 'Oh, God, OK, suck it up.' I remember actually, he came to visit me on a movie to pitch me a movie. And I do remember consciously having a person stay in my trailer.”
Weinstein told WSJ Magazine that Aniston "never had any uncomfortable instances with me."
Reese Witherspoon raves about working with Jennifer Aniston
Aniston also shared what it's like helming Apple TV+'s "The Morning Show" alongside Reese Witherspoon, her co-star and fellow executive producer on the series.
With their trailers camped side-by-side on set, Witherspoon and Aniston frequently run back-and-forth to bounce ideas off each other and problem solve.
"It's nice to share a lot of the responsibility with somebody that you've known forever," said Witherspoon, who guest starred on "Friends" in 2000.
Witherspoon also reflected on how different the entertainment industry looked when she and Aniston first met.
"You think about ownership as a woman in the media industry – it just didn't exist," she said.

Aniston also shared what it's like to work on "The Morning Show" with a creative team that includes several women.
"Being that we're female, there’s a level of understanding, compassion and consideration that I think doesn’t always exist amongst the dudes," she said.
