Driver Plows Through Jennifer Aniston’s Malibu Gate
Marvelous. A random motorist decides Jennifer Aniston’s front gate is prime real estate for a crash landing—and, surprise, she was home. According to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies (TMZ), the incident unfolded just after midnight on May 5, when a sedan mowed through the star’s wrought-iron entrance in the affluent Carbon Beach neighborhood. Security cameras caught the whole thing—talk about a guest list nobody asked for.
The sheriff’s report says the unidentified driver lost control, rammed the gate with enough force to rip it off its hinges, then came to an awkward halt in the driveway. No word on whether the driver mistook Angelina’s postbox for a ramp, but cops allege possible DUI after smelling alcohol on-site. Deputies performed a field sobriety test, ultimately hauling the intruder away in cuffs. Bail details remain sketchy, but the car’s impound fees alone should buy Aniston a solid month of avocado toast.
Meanwhile, the “Friends” alum reportedly didn’t even flinch—her spokesperson confirmed she was inside the pad at the time but walked outside only after police gave the all-clear. Damage to the gate is “substantial,” sources say, though the actress, known for her chill Malibu vibe, appeared unfazed. “She’s safe, sound, and already coordinating repairs,” the rep told People Magazine, adding there were no injuries. E! News also verified that the property’s high-tech security system alerted guards within seconds.
Let’s break it down, because apparently we need to: Jennifer Aniston continues her quest for low-key living, yet somehow doors she didn’t even open are getting whacked. I told you so—when you mix fame, fresh pavement, and a dash of inebriation, Hollywood nightlife takes on a whole new meaning. And yes, the paparazzi were waiting for the inevitable flash of blue and red lights.
This isn’t the first time celebs in Malibu have dealt with driveway disasters—see: any random Wednesday—but it might be the quietest. No injuries, no stolen jewelry, just a battered gate and an afternoon contractor call. The takeaway? Even A-listers can’t dodge the occasional four-wheeled disaster.
And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
