Jennifer Aniston reveals why she will never join TikTok… five years after breaking the internet when she opened her own Instagram account
Jennifer Aniston has revealed she will not be joining TikTok, swearing off the popular social media app forever.
In a new interview with AND, the 55-year-old actress — who this week touted her hair care line LolaVie — declared, “I don’t have TikTok, and I never will. I just don’t do that.’
The longtime entertainer emphasized, “I’m not going to subscribe to anything else that’s going to ruin my life or anyone else’s life.”
She added: ‘It can suck you in and you’ll have wasted hours of your life.’
It comes almost five years after the star joined Instagram, causing the app to crash as fans rushed to follow her.

While speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Aniston opened up about her social media use: “Sometimes I can’t believe I found myself in an absolute wormhole of dogs and puppy videos and rescue animals and babies and cats.
‘Those are the things I enjoy. But there are also things online that I just don’t want to see.’
The Murder Mystery star continued, “I don’t think we were designed to take in the amount of information at the speed and pace that we do today. I just don’t think it’s good for us. I don’t think it’s healthy.’
And she emphasized that her Instagram presence will always be an expression of her true self.
“I just think it’s best to just be who you are,” Jennifer explained.
‘We have good days. We have bad days. We have good hair days. We have sh*tty hair days. We have good skin days, bad skin days. It’s a mixed bag.
“It’s also so unrealistic to try to sell something that doesn’t feel authentic,” the wellness enthusiast noted.
The Hollywood actor also expressed his empathy about how the internet is affecting today’s younger generations.
In October 2019, Aniston joined the ranks of Instagram’s most followed celebrities when she uploaded her first post. It featured her and her beloved Friends costars Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer
“The mental illness that children suffer from because of the comparison and the despair… It’s so hard to be a teenager these days,” she lamented. “We’re so hard on ourselves, and kids are so mean, too.”

“I can’t follow Jennifer Aniston because Instagram won’t let me, aaaaaah,” one user wrote.
Another joked: ‘I can’t follow Jennifer Aniston on Instagram. Did she block me?’
Instagram apologized, with a red message Page six at the time: ‘We are aware that some people are having trouble following Jen’s page – the interest is incredible. We are actively working on a solution and hope to have the page working smoothly again soon.’
