Recently, Jennifer Aniston has been surrounded by strange murmurs. Every time she attends parties and events, there's always chatter about her husband, Brad Pitt. Of course, as Pitt is a top Hollywood star and she, a celebrated actress herself, such discussions aren't unusual.
However, the nature of these conversations has been unsettling her.
For example, a week ago at a sponsor's party, she overheard someone claiming that Brad Pitt married her not out of love, but because she was "Rachel," which could significantly boost his exposure and advance his career.
The same person also noted that despite Pitt's films doing poorly at the North American box office, he remained increasingly popular, continually being sought after by studios, largely due to the high profile of their marriage.
Comments like Brad Pitt would merely be a second-tier star without this marriage were also common.
Despite knowing that celebrities are routinely talked about, Jennifer Aniston couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.
Over the past few days, she had heard more whispers about her and Brad Pitt.
Especially a few days ago when she attended a fashion event, she vaguely heard a female model mention that Brad Pitt sometimes took advantage of her work trips to bring people home, often involving the female nanny...
Two days ago, Jennifer Aniston went to New York for an appearance, planning to return the day after tomorrow. However, she decided to come back to Los Angeles earlier without notifying anyone.
Despite numerous rumors about Pitt with other actresses, like recent tabloids vehemently claiming he was involved with Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston didn't believe such gossip. Which star hasn't been the subject of rumors?
But hearing that the discussions involved their own nanny, Jennifer Aniston felt an inexplicable discomfort. She had always trusted Brad Pitt, working hard to nurture their marriage and love.
Yet the young female nanny was indeed hired by Brad Pitt…
Her early return was to put her mind at ease, to shatter the rumors encircling her.
Tiptoeing into the mansion, Jennifer Aniston hung up her purse, but did not see the nanny, who usually met her at the door.
Without a sound, she slipped on soft slippers and circled the living room, listening carefully. There seemed to be noises coming from the bedroom. She crept up to the master bedroom door.
The door was ajar, revealing a sliver of the scene inside. Jennifer Aniston peered through, and a chill ran down her spine.
Inside, there were three people. Brad Pitt stood in the center of the bedroom, the female nanny kneeling before him on the carpet...
And on their marital bed, Angelina Jolie lay sprawled, watching the scene between Brad Pitt and the nanny with great interest.
Jennifer Aniston was shocked, hardly believing what she saw. Instinctively, she pushed the door open.
Creak—
The door swung open, and the three inside turned their heads. Seeing Jennifer Aniston, the nanny was visibly shocked and quickly stood up.
Brad Pitt hastily pulled up his pants, also looking stunned.
Angelina Jolie, however, smiled and waved at Jennifer Aniston, "Hey Jen, care to join?"
Brad Pitt glared at Angelina Jolie, then said to Jennifer Aniston, "Jen, it's not what you think, let me explain."
Despite being a Hollywood veteran, Jennifer Aniston's ability to cope was still not the worst. She said nothing, turned around, and slammed the door with such force that it echoed with a loud bang.
At that moment, nothing needed to be said by anyone in the room; the facts spoke for themselves.
Jennifer Aniston walked towards the door.
Outside the mansion, two TMZ paparazzi, hidden by the roadside trees, were closely monitoring the front door. One was on the phone.
"Yes, I'm sure," the paparazzo spoke softly into the phone. "Miss Boyar, Jennifer Aniston has returned home, all seems normal."
He gave a bitter smile, "We've followed your instructions and shadowed them for a week without much to report. We can't just sneak into their home to take photos, or you'd have to bail us out of jail…"
His colleague nudged him, "Something's happening!"
"Gotta go, big news here!"
Both prepared their cameras as Jennifer Aniston, wearing slippers, rushed out, followed by a disheveled Brad Pitt. They were clearly arguing, indicating a real issue.
Then, Angelina Jolie casually exited the house. Jennifer Aniston confronted her, faintly heard accusing Jolie of intruding into her marriage.
Capturing this scene, the two paparazzi exchanged excited looks. This was undoubtedly a sensational scoop!
Finally, Jennifer Aniston hailed a cab, while Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reentered the mansion.
The paparazzo called again, "Miss Boyar, it's me! Yes, huge news! Go directly to the boss, have him reserve the homepage headline
. Christian and I are heading back."
After hanging up, they saw Brad Pitt drive away with Angelina Jolie's assistant, then hurried to TMZ's office.
Upon arrival, they immediately met with their supervisor, Elena Boyar, who took one look at the footage and led them into the editor-in-chief's office.
Unlike traditional media, which might give celebrities a heads-up before publishing such news, TMZ thrived on internet-age competition.
An hour later, the photos and videos were prominently featured on TMZ's website.
The paparazzi received hefty bonus checks and eagerly continued to follow the story of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, while Elena Boyar, feeling secure in her role at TMZ, displayed her worth with this scoop, proving her extensive Hollywood connections.
She phoned Helen Herman.
"Helen, it's me, Elena. In about ten minutes, check TMZ's homepage!"
"Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston?" came the reply.
Elena Boyar smiled, "My team caught a huge scoop. Thanks for the tip."
"It's nothing," Helen Herman responded coolly, her tone uninterested.
Elena Boyar, finding the conversation dull, quickly concluded, "Also, tell Matthew thanks."
Before, she had met Matthew, knowing this tip had originated from his circle's chatter. Originally, she was just testing the waters since most information from Matthew turned into solid leads.
Unsurprisingly, the news was more sensational than expected, capturing a video of Jennifer Aniston catching Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie red-handed, sparking a nationwide, even global, frenzy.
This scoop, as Elena Boyar predicted, made waves across America and beyond. Hollywood's once golden couple had reached a breaking point, with the notorious Angelina Jolie as the third party.
As more details emerged, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston remained silent. Two days later, news broke from Jolie's camp during post-production voiceovers for "Alexander the Great." She fainted in the studio and confessed to the director, Oliver Stone, and crew that she was pregnant with Brad Pitt's child.
In response, Jennifer Aniston's team held a press conference. Her agents and spokesperson delivered a heartfelt statement about moving on from past love, announcing the end of her marriage to Brad Pitt, with no chance of reconciliation.
(The narrative combines various incidents: Pitt's alleged affair with the nanny, Aniston catching him with Jolie, Jolie's fainting on set, and her public revelation of her pregnancy, previously separate events.)
