Jennifer Aniston may be getting into a feud with Kim Kardashian.
Radar Online is reporting the former Friend is upset at pal Jimmy Kimmel for getting to close to the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Reportedly, Aniston is selective about her circle of friends, and she doesn’t want to be associated, even indirectly, to the Kardashians.
Neither Kimmel nor Kardashian have said anything about the rumored feud.
What’s going on with the two stars? Read on to find out more.
1. Too Close
A source close to Aniston has reported that Kimmel and his wife have been spending time with the Kardashians and Aniston isn’t thrilled about it. The source says, “She’s not trying to be cruel, but is very much of the opinion that they’re not classy enough for her circle of friends, even by association.”
Reportedly, the star is very selective about who she associates with and doesn’t think the Kardashians rise to her social level, no matter how famous they are. The source goes on to say, “She’s not impressed with their social media numbers, and she never liked their show, what she saw of it. She thinks Jimmy is really skimming from the bottom of the barrel here.”
Aniston isn't a fan of Kim's friendship with Jimmy Kimmel.
2. Former fights
Aniston has been known to get on the outs with people before. At one point, there were rumors that she and former co-star Courtney Cox had issues after Cox moved on too quickly from her divorce from David Arquette. More recently, Aniston had a major fight with former close pal Chelsea Handler in 2017. The root of the conflict was never publicized, but Handler was on Howard Stern’s show around that time saying “If you lie to me or you lie about me, I can’t take that. … I’m a really good friend and I expect the same in return.”
Recently, Handler and Aniston appeared to have made up, with Handler attending Jen’s 50th birthday party in February.

3. But wait, there's more
This may not be the first time there has been friction between the two stars. Back in 2014, when Kim’s Paper magazine cover “broke the internet,” reporters asked Aniston what she thought of the sexy shot. At the time, Jen reminded everyone that she had posed nude on the cover to Rolling Stone in 1996, the height of Friends frenzy.
She remarked, “I was an original!” There were reports then that Kim and husband Kanye West resented Aniston’s comments.

4. Legal Eagle
Jen might do well to keep her opinions about Kim to herself. The reality star and fashion and beauty mogul announced that she’s working on becoming a lawyer. She isn’t planning to attend law school but will instead do a legal apprenticeship and take the bar exam in 2022. This decision is based on her desire to do more in the realm of social justice.
She told Vogue about her work getting a pardon for an unfairly jailed woman and feeling like to do more in the future, she needed additional education. She said “I’m sitting in the Roosevelt Room with, like, a judge who had sentenced criminals and a lot of really powerful people and I just sat there, like, Oh, sh*t. I need to know more."
Both friends and other attorneys say Kim has the smarts to do it. If she achieves this dream, she could be in a position to sue her haters.

5. Guilty pleasure
But not everyone is sure Jen actually has a problem with Kim. Back in 2015, she admitted to Entertainment Tonight that she followed the Kardashian family. At the time she answered questions about a social media project, saying "I was so stressed out. It was too much pressure. For these Kardashians, it's a career!”
Jen went on to say that she followed the reality family and even watched their show.
“I sadly am very much interested in the Kardashian-Jenner thing. That’s a guilty pleasure for sure.” She then went on to compliment Caitlyn Jenner’s recent Vanity cover, where she debuted her new look after her transition, saying “I thought it was beautiful.”
Aniston hangs out with plenty of famous people.
Until either the Kardashians or Aniston confirm this feud, we should all probably just consider it a rumor.
