Jennifer Aniston's Character Makes Anti-Gay Slur In Horrible Bosses

jennifer aniston makes anti gay slur in horrible bosses

Uh oh! Could we have another Dilemma on our hands here???

Back in October, Jennifer Aniston’s Break-Up co-star Vince Vaughn was dealing with controversy over a gay joke in his movie The Dilemma, and now Jen could be in a similar situation.

In her new movie Horrible Bosses, Aniston plays one of the less-than-pleasant bosses, and in a scene where her assistant gets uncomfortable because she’s ONLY wearing a white lab coat, she says the following to him:

“You├óΓé¼Γäóre starting to sound like a little faggot there, Dale.”

Here’s what Horrible Bosses co-writer John Francis Daley had to say about the offensive comment:

“She is a horrible person, so I think when it is coming out of her mouth, it is understandably offensive.”

And here’s what Daley’s writing partner Jonathan Goldstein had to say about it:

“It’s indefensible. I think part of the challenge is to, in a fairly short amount of time, get these guys to a place where an audience can empathize├óΓé¼┬ª.To shorthand that, we tried to think: what are the most offensive things they can say? Using a word like that I think is one of them. It says this woman is irredeemable.”

And here’s Goldstein on whether or not Jen had any issues with making the offensive comment on screen:

“She didn├óΓé¼Γäót have any objections. She wanted to dive into this villain with both feet, and she did.”

We understand that her character is saying the offensive comment 100% in context for her character…but then again, couldn’t they find a less polarizing offensive word for her to say???

What do U think? Is Jen’s anti-gay slur okay for this movie, or do U think it should NEVER be used?
