Jennifer Aniston Offends New York Cab Drivers for Remark About Scents

By Rachel Cruz, Christian Post Contributor Tuesday, October 24, 2017

Jennifer Aniston might be everyone's favorite "Friends" star but she recently earned the ire of New York cab drivers for her offhanded remark. The actress was promoting her new perfume creation, Chapter One, when she seemingly insulted cab drivers in an interview.

Aniston's perfume is a mix of feminine scents like citrus and florals. She nixes the idea of making men's cologne, though, and jokes about her bad experience with New York cab drivers.

"I'm not big on [colognes]," the "Friends" star stated. "I've probably got PTSD from cab rides in New York City that ended in pure suffocation."

It's unclear how taxi drivers got wind of Aniston's interview but someone from the Taxi and Limousine Commission responded to the actress' insult. Allan Fromberg told Page Six that sometimes it's not the drivers but the passengers who leave off strong scents inside their cabs.

"My advice to Ms. Aniston would be for her to create a yellow taxi-themed cologne that is as subtle and sophisticated as she is, and call it 'Common Scents'!" Fromberg said.

In other news, Aniston learned that more and more kids are discovering her hit series "Friends" on Netflix. Youngsters who were still babies or have not yet been born when her top-rating originally aired in the '90s on NBC have become fans of the reruns.

"'Friends' is still relatable in the sense that there were no cell phones, it was just friends sitting, communing together," the Hollywood A-lister said. "I hope that it actually will inspire people to remember that connection and speak with each other."

Aniston wants her young fans to drop their phones once in a while and just take the moment in, like she and her pals did on "Friends."

"Friends" ran from 1994 to 2004 and also starred Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer. Older fans have been wanting a reunion or a reboot but the cast thinks the show ended under the best terms, with over 50 million viewers, and should stay off the air.
