Jennifer Aniston has had enough A.I. deepfakes.

The "Friends" star revealed in a new interview that she is constantly forced to send fake images of herself to her lawyers, calling big tech "crazy" for letting the issue spiral out of control. 

Jennifer Aniston's frustration comes just weeks after a beach photo of Aniston in a black swimsuit went viral, with fans insisting it could not be real.

Aniston's growing outrage stems from the wave of A.I.-generated images that have plagued her over the years, a problem she says has made it nearly impossible to tell what is real and what is manufactured. In a recent interview, the actress revealed:

"I catch things all the time, or friends send me things saying, 'I don't think this is you', or 'I don't think you're advertising this', and I'll send it to my lawyers so they can do a cease-and-desist."

The issue hits close to home, especially since the upcoming season of "The Morning Show"  explores a similar storyline about her character being impersonated using A.I. "It's just such a runaway train," Aniston says, describing how quickly technology has spiraled out of control.

She also voiced concern for young people who live their lives online, criticizing the lack of safeguards around social media and calling out the billionaires who profit from it. "Congratulations on your billions, but it has taken down a huge portion of humanity," she said in her interview with Harper's Bazaar.

Aniston cannot seem to catch a break from the A.I. madness. Even her real photos are being accused of being fake. The Blast highlighted how a beach post from the 56-year-old turned into an online debate after fans claimed the image was generated by artificial intelligence.

Aniston posed in a sleek black swimsuit, her style and toned figure drawing thousands of likes and plenty of skepticism to the since-deleted image. The photo showed Aniston leaning against a wooden structure, waves crashing behind her as she looked away in oversized sunglasses.

What should have been a simple post quickly became a comment war, with one user writing "Fake," and another cheekily asking when she grew "boobs."

The award-winning star is not one for flashy red carpets, and she is not afraid to admit it.

The Blast noted Aniston's candid confession during a Glamour interview with her "Morning Show" co-stars, where she revealed that she has turned down Met Gala invitations multiple times because the event overwhelms her. 

She explained that large gatherings make her uneasy, especially after years of seeing her words twisted and misrepresented.

Aniston said she has learned to monitor herself in interviews, describing how harsh media coverage in the past made her overly cautious. But she has reached a point where she no longer lets that fear define her. "You get to a place where none of it really matters," she said.

Aniston appears unbothered these days, as evidenced by her Harper's Bazaar interview, in which she set the record straight on lingering misconceptions while voicing her frustrations about technology.

The Blast reported that in the interview, Aniston confronted long-standing rumors about her fertility, revealing she once stayed quiet because her reproductive choices were nobody else's business.

She explained that few people knew the real story, her years-long effort to start a family through IVF treatments.

Aniston reflected on finally speaking up, saying she wanted to break the silence not just for herself, but for other women who have faced similar struggles. "It did feel like it was not only for myself, but for any women who were struggling with the same issue," she stated.

Aniston's life has not been as picture-perfect as many assume. Nicki Swift revealed that despite being born to famous parents, the blonde beauty did not live the nepo baby dream.

The star has spoken about growing up in an unstable home that often felt unsafe, saying the behavior she witnessed as a child made her promise not to grow up like the adults around her.

Her late father, actor John Aniston, discouraged her from pursuing acting, hoping she would become a lawyer instead. But she followed her own path and proved him wrong with a legendary career.

Her relationship with her late mother, Nancy Dow, was even more strained. Dow's constant criticism of her looks left lasting scars, and their bond fractured further when Dow published a tell-all book about their family.
