Celebrities back Jennifer Aniston’s tabloid takedown

Jennifer Aniston’s takedown of tabloid culture is winning support among fellow celebrities.

Ghostbusters star Melissa McCarthy tells Entertainment Tonight that she agrees “one hundred thousand billion per cent” with Aniston’s essay for the Huffington Post in which she writes constant paparazzi coverage contributes to a “dehumanising view of females, focused solely on one’s physical appearance.”

McCarthy says “everyone needs to stop tearing down women” and calls the attention to women’s looks “a ridiculous thing.” She says she hopes “it gets to the point where it’s embarrassing for people to have such a shallow thought.”

Aniston’s piece also has received positive mentions on Twitter from actor Jason Bateman and comedian Margaret Cho .
