Jennifer Aniston Faces Backlash for Not Holding Door for Boyfriend Using Mobility Aid
Jennifer Aniston is facing criticism after being seen not holding the door for her boyfriend, Jim Curtis, who uses a cane.
The incident happened at Cafe Cluny in New York City, according to the Daily Mail on Monday, December 1.
The 56-year-old Friends star left the restaurant first while holding her phone and appeared focused on her driver. Curtis, 50, was left to manage the door on his own. As the National Enquirer previously reported, Curtis was diagnosed with lesions on his spinal cord at the age of 22, which has made walking difficult.
