It’s been four months since Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux ended their marriage, but they’re a modern couple with a lot of mutual friends, so they’ll probably stay on amicable turns, a la Chris and Gwyneth, Ross and Rachel, right?
Wrong! It turns out this situation is closer to when Rachel left that dentist at the altar or … every other non-Hollywood divorce you’ve ever heard about.
According to Life & Style, Jen and Justin are at war, and Aniston is planning to go nuclear on Justin’s career and social life.
But it wasn’t the breakup that left her so angry.
No, those who know them best say Jen and Justin parted on good terms.
Unfortunately, after the fact, the fact Justin went tom-catting about town with various young starlets, a practice that Jen took as his attempt to embarrass her publicly.
Sources say Aniston was particularly upset over rumors that Theroux is dating Selena Gomez, a woman with a well-known affinity for Justins.
“As far as Jen’s concerned, it’s her or Justin and she doesn’t want to be a part of Justin’s social chain,” a source tells L&S.
Selena may have been the final straw, but she’s not the first young starlet Justin’s been spotted with.
“Jen was angry enough to see [Justin] at dinner with Emma Stone, whom she considers a friend,” says the insider.
“But then she has to contend with new photos of him schmoozing all over Selena Gomez and it’s really tipped her over the edge.”
Unfortunately for Jen, it seems she might be seeing a whole lot more of Jen and Justin canoodling.
“They’ve known each other for years through their manager,” the source claims.
“Initially, they leaned on each other for emotional support after going through messy breakups.”
The insider adds that Jen and Justin have “become closer than ever” in recent months, adding:
“It’s turned into something more than friendship.”
And if the insider is to be believed, Aniston has come up with a sort of sad revenge plan:
“Jen’s telling friends that she wants to date a younger guy,” the insider claims.
Seems to us that getting back together with Brad Pitt would be an even bigger eff-you, but maybe that’s just because we want to see that happen.
