Jennifer Aniston Targeted by Swatting Incident

Jennifer Aniston experienced an unsettling situation on Friday evening when she became the target of a swatting prank, a trend that has increasingly affected celebrities in Hollywood.

According to law enforcement sources, a caller contacted the police, expressing concern for a friend’s well-being without specifically naming Aniston. The caller reportedly conveyed that his friend was “not doing well” and hinted at more concerning circumstances, urging the police to perform a welfare check, while providing only the address and remaining anonymous.

Authorities responded to the call just after midnight and were greeted by perplexed security personnel at the residence. It was during this encounter that the police discovered they were at Aniston’s home. The actress assured the officers that everything was fine and confirmed she had no intentions of self-harm.

In light of this incident, police have stated that they plan to take precautions for any future welfare checks at Aniston’s residence. They have recorded the location to streamline their response if another call is made, hoping to communicate with security first and avoid disturbing the actress unnecessarily.

This incident has not been closed, however, as police are treating it as a swatting case and are proceeding with further investigations.

Aniston is not alone in facing such hoaxes; Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and several other celebrities have also been victims of similar prank calls, leading to surprises from law enforcement at their homes.
