Jennifer Aniston and Ellen Pompeo ‘Set for War’ as Hollywood Icons Battle for Streaming Crown, Insiders Claim

Jennifer Aniston and Ellen Pompeo are reportedly gearing up for an intense Hollywood rivalry as they battle for dominance in the streaming world. Sources tell RadarOnline.com that Aniston, 56, is feeling the heat as Pompeo, 55, prepares to launch her highly anticipated Hulu series Good American Family.

With Aniston’s The Morning Show on Apple TV+ already a hit, insiders claim she’s watching closely as Pompeo’s latest project gains momentum ahead of its March 19 debut. The competition is said to be stirring up long-standing tension between the two actresses, who have never been close despite their shared industry circles.

Decades-Long Tension Reignites Amid Streaming Wars

Aniston and Pompeo’s careers took off in the early 2000s, with Friends cementing Aniston’s A-list status while Grey’s Anatomy turned Pompeo into a household name. Despite overlapping fan bases and mutual Hollywood connections, the two have allegedly kept their distance.

“Jen’s feeling threatened and looking nervously over her shoulder at Ellen, who she’s avoided like the plague for decades,” a source said.

The rivalry has only intensified as both actresses expand their careers into the streaming era. Aniston is fully invested in The Morning Show’s fourth season, but insiders say she is now worried about how it will compare to Pompeo’s new Hulu thriller.

Mark Duplass’ Role in Pompeo’s Show Adds Fuel to the Fire

Adding another layer to the tension, Aniston’s longtime friend and Morning Show co-star Mark Duplass, 48, has taken a leading role in Good American Family. The series, inspired by the shocking Natalia Grace adoption scandal, is also executive-produced by Pompeo.

A source claims that while Aniston supports Duplass’ success, she is frustrated that Pompeo cast him in such a pivotal role.

“Jen wants Mark to be successful and a bigger star, but it’s kind of annoying that Ellen decided to pick one of Jen’s closest collaborators to be in this show with her,” the insider shared.

Both actresses are known for playing the long game with their careers, and their recent ventures signal a new chapter in their professional rivalry. With both shows set to compete for streaming dominance, Hollywood insiders are keeping a close watch on how this brewing battle plays out.
