Somber Jennifer Aniston surfaces amid shock twist in 'stalker' drama
Jennifer Aniston looked somber as she stepped out in Beverly Hills on Friday amid a shocking twist in her 'stalker' drama.
Earlier this month, a man named Jimmy Wayne Carwyle trespassed onto the Friends alum's Bel-Air property by ramming through the front gates - with the actress being home at the time of the incident.
He was arrested by LAPD officers after being apprehended by Aniston's own security team - but a ruling this week declared that Carwyle is mentally unfit to stand trial.
Jennifer, 56, surfaced just one day after the ruling while wearing a black tank top and a pair of olive-green pants.
She slipped into a pair of black flip flops and sported a pair of black shades to complete the casual look as she exited out of a building.

Aniston's locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves.
She easily carried her phone in her hand while a small bottle of water was tucked in the crook of her left arm.
The Hollywood actress has been embroiled in ongoing drama after her alleged stalker was arrested after trespassing onto her property on May 5.
The man was reportedly held at gunpoint by the star's security team until the LAPD arrived to the scene, per TMZ. Officials then booked Jimmy Wayne Carwyle for felony damage.
A public information office for the LAPD stated that a driver 'approximately 70 years of age, rammed his vehicle through the gate to the residence and gained access to the property.
'There was a security guard on premises who was able to detain that suspect until officers arrived, at which time they took him into custody without incident. The resident was home at the time.'
And in an update on the case, the man made an appearance in court on Thursday while also debuting an entirely new look.

Though still disheveled looking, gone was the 48-year-old's wild, unkempt greying hair and big, messy beard that had made his previous court appearances so striking and unsettling.
Carwyle, in wrist shackles with a sheriff's deputy next to him, wore an awkward smirk as he stared out from behind a glass walled enclosure in Department 103. The back of his shirt read 'LA County Jail XXL.' Cameras were not allowed in court.
It was announced by his public defender that a second opinion mental health analysis of his client had also revealed the Mississippi native mentally unfit to stand trial.
During a previous hearing the week before, the same court was told that a first report on Carwyle by Dr. Phani Tumu had deemed him not able to take part in criminal proceedings.
But Carwyle had requested a second opinion and so another analysis was performed by forensic psychiatrist Dr. Kory Knapke which, the latest hearing was informed, had also concluded the suspect is mentally unfit to continue with the case.
'He is not competent to stand trial so although I know it's not the outcome my client would have preferred at this time I would submit on those two reports,' public defender Robert Krauss informed the court.
Deputy District Attorney William Donovan said: 'The people will also submit.'
And with that, Judge Cavalluzzi said from the bench, 'The court finds that the defendant is not presently competent to stand trial. Criminal proceedings are suspended.'
An 'interest of justice' hearing was scheduled for June 26 when Aniston or her attorney Blair Berk will be able to provide impact statements.
A more detailed report on Carwyle will be compiled by independent analyst Dr. Tumu at a cost of $1,100 to determine how to proceed with treatment for him.
The hearing ended after four minutes and 20 seconds and Carwyle left to be transported by an Los Angeles Sheriff's Department coach back to the infamous Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles.
He was arrested by LAPD officers on May 5 after ramming his car into the front gates of the Friends star's breathtaking $21 million hilltop Bel-Air home.
Prosecutors say Carwyle 'repeatedly' harassed Aniston between March 1, 2023 to May 5, 2025, sending her 'unwanted social media, voicemail, and email messages.'
In addition to stalking and vandalism charges, Carwyle was facing a charge for aggravating the threat of great bodily harm.
His estranged wife Julia Carwyle, 48, previously told Daily Mail exclusively that he believes himself to be Jesus Christ and Aniston is his 'queen.'
'He believes he was Jesus Christ and that she was supposed to be his queen,' she recalled.
'His mentality is nothing like it used to be. Something has triggered him. I don't know if he's having a midlife crisis or what.'
She said at some point that he must have 'flipped' and that something had 'manifested that we're all not aware of.
'It's something that's between him and his maker. Mental illness is real. It does not discriminate. He's going through a lot right now.'
Julia said Carwyle's family are 'pretty upset' by recent events.
Added Julia: 'He's put me through literal hell. It took a toll on me for the past four years in every aspect - it's not been good.
'I've got a restraining order on him since we split up. He's been stalking me the same way [as Aniston] and he's not a very good person.'
She said she was unaware of her husband's apparent obsession with the beloved TV and movie star.
The couple did not watch a lot of television while living together, and Aniston didn't come up in conversation, she said.
'Jimmy had a secret life I knew nothing about,' said Julia. 'We never even watched her. The whole time we've been together he never went on about her.'
She last saw her husband in September on the day he headed off on his latest California odyssey in an attempt to meet with Aniston, who was inside her home at the time he crashed into the property, although the two did not come face to face.
'He went to California six months ago,' said Julia. 'He left in September and went and I haven't seen him since he left. He was leaving that day to go.
'He was going there because he was going to meet up with Jennifer. He was going to go see her.
'He actually thought he was going to meet Jennifer. I guess he was speaking with her. He had the impression that Jennifer Aniston and he were going to talk and meet.
'So naturally he's doing what anybody would do - he went across the country.'
Julia said Carwyle had made three separate trips to California to meet up with the actress. 'He thought "Maybe she's just going to meet a guy… to take a chance." That's the way he was thinking.'

Trade Secretary to push for timeline on US tariff exemption
Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds is set to meet US officials on Tuesday as the UK aims to set a timeline for its exemption from President Donald Trump's tariffs. Sir Keir Starmer and Mr Trump announced the broad terms of an agreement last month that would exempt the UK from some of the US president's tariffs on steel and cars while increasing market access for other goods. The Prime Minister hailed the announcement as a major achievement, saying the UK was the first nation to reach such an agreement with Mr Trump. But the details are still being worked out ahead of a formal deal, and the Government hopes for an agreement within weeks. Mr Reynolds is expected to discuss implementing the deal during talks with US trade representative Jamieson Greer in Paris on Tuesday, where he is attending a meeting of the OECD. That meeting comes amid uncertainty about the future of Mr Trump's tariffs after a US court last week ruled many of them unlawful, before an appeals court reinstated the levies pending a further hearing. Last week also saw Mr Trump announce that he would double tariffs on steel to 50%, starting on Wednesday, and it remains unclear how the UK would be affected. Mr Reynolds's visit to Paris is part of a three-day trip, during which he is expected to meet other trade ministers and attend a G7 ministerial meeting before heading to Brussels for meetings with his EU counterparts. During the trip, the Trade Secretary will argue that the UK is a dependable partner in an era of increasing global volatility. He said: 'Our deals with the US, EU and India are proof that the UK is the most connected country in the world to do business. Along with our modern industrial strategy, our Plan for Change is making the UK a safe, stable bet in uncertain times. 'We recognise our relationship with G7 allies and EU counterparts must continue to evolve and deliver a better trading environment for our businesses and exporters. 'That's why we want to wipe away costly, business-blocking barriers and open up opportunities to grow our economy, create jobs and put more money in people's pockets.' Andrew Griffith, Conservative shadow business secretary, said: 'Labour told the British public we had a deal with the US – but one month on there is no deal in sight, meaning British businesses and workers continue to suffer because of Labour's failed negotiations. 'After snatching the winter fuel payment, lying about not increasing taxes, and misleading the public by saying the US trade deal was done, the public will rightly not trust a word Labour says. 'As all the other political parties wrangle over how to spend more taxpayers money, only the Conservatives are committed to being responsible with the public finances.'

Joshua Jackson's custody war with ex Jodie Turner-Smith over daughter Juno takes another twist
The legal fight between Joshua Jackson and his ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith over their daughter Juno has taken an ugly turn. The Dawson's Creek actor, 46, has now filed a motion and request for an emergency custody order modification, according to court documents obtained by E! News. In the motion, filed May 30, Jackson claims Turner-Smith, 38, changed their five-year-old daughter's school for kindergarten without his permission and selected an establishment that was outside of the 45-minute commute time from his home that they had previously agreed upon. According to court documents obtained by People, Jackson claims Turner-Smith said it's 'no big deal to force Juno to start over with a new school.' Jackson alleged in the documents obtained by E! that Jodie-Turner told him via a text message that their daughter does not 'require a fixed location' for her education and that tutors and remote learning could be implemented. has reached to reps for both Jackson and the Turner-Smith but did not immediately hear back. He also is worried that 'Jodie is attempting to create a scenario where Juno travels with her rather than attending a traditional school.' Jackson also brought up his own past being educated as a child actor by on-set tutors, according to E!: 'Even in the best case it cannot begin to provide a child with the same nurturing and enrichment, peer relationships and social skills that a classroom and school community environment provides.' The actor is now asking the court to order his daughter to remain at the school she has been attending for the next academic year. He is also seeking joint consent with Turner-Smith for any future school changes. Joshua said his daughter has been 'flourishing' at her current school, according to E!. He noted the multiple changes Juno has faced in recent years, which comprised of the recent loss of Jackson's home in Topanga Canyon, which was burnt down in the Los Angeles fires. Joshua said 'adding an unnecessary school change cannot be in her interests.' Joshua and the British actress/model got together in 2018 and secretly married the following year before welcoming baby Juno in 2020. Turner-Smith filed for divorce in October 2023, and in the filing said their date of separation was the month prior. They settled their divorce last month, but at that time where Juno would attend school had not been agreed upon. In previous court documents obtained by People, Turner-Smith stated that she'd been granted the authority to 'make the final decision' about Juno's education in 2024. The documents state that she was required to consult Jackson on the decision. In recently filed legal documents, according to TMZ in May 2025, it was revealed that Jackson will pay $2,787 each month in child support but he will not be paying monthly spousal support. Turner-Smith also requested Jackson pay her $75,000 for the attorney's fees she incurred in their legal fight over where they child will go to school. The Doctor Odyssey star and his ex went to a mediator to compromise on a temporary schedule to govern the 50-50 custody of their daughter. The Doctor Odyssey star, 46, alleged on May 30, that Turner-Smith put Juno in a new school without consulting him; Turner-Smith seen here June 1, 2025 Turner-Smith reportedly requested a judge to enforce a court order to give her the power to move their daughter to a new school. In legal documents filed by her attorney Laura Wasser, she said she researched the elementary school, discussed with Jackson and even made sure it was close enough to his home. However, she claimed that he still does not want to move their daughter to the new school. The pair have been in a legal battle since Turner-Smith filed for divorce two years ago. She listed their date of separation as September 2023 and cited 'irreconcilable differences' in her reason for filing. A few months later, she broke her silence about their divorce and said she decided to file to end their marriage. She said she wanted to 'make a move because I believe that there are visible scars from staying in places that are not good for us. 'And they don't just affect us, they affect everybody around us,' she told The Sunday Times in February 2024. 'Sometimes things we really want to work just don't end up working. And that's OK. The most important thing is that you choose what's healthiest for you and your family and definitely your children.' Following their split, Jackson went on to date Lupita Nyung'o, and he was most recently linked to German model Nastassja Roberts. Last October, Turner-Smith declared that she is 'over men' after their divorce filing, insisting she is happily single and is not focused on dating for a while.

Man accused of framing other man for deportation by writing letters threatening Trump's life
A Wisconsin man is facing charges accusing him of forging a letter threatening President Donald Trump 's life in an effort to get another man deported. Prosecutors said in a criminal complaint filed Monday that Demetric D. Scott was behind a letter sent to state and federal officials with the return address and name of Ramón Morales Reyes. Scott was charged Monday with felony witness intimidation, identity theft and two counts of bail jumping. His attorney, Robert Hampton III, didn't immediately return an email from The Associated Press seeking comment. Immigration agents arrested Morales Reyes, 54, on May 21 after he dropped his child off at school in Milwaukee. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the arrest, saying he had written a letter threatening to kill Trump and would 'self-deport' to Mexico. The announcement, which also was posted by the White House on its social media accounts, contained an image of the letter as well as a photo of Morales Reyes. But the claim started to unravel as investigators talked to Morales Reyes, who doesn't speak English fluently, and obtained a handwriting sample from him that was different than the handwriting in the letters, according to court documents. Morales Reyes is listed as a victim in the case involving Scott, who is awaiting trial in Milwaukee County Jail on armed robbery and aggravated battery charges. The trial is scheduled for July. Law enforcement officers listened to several calls Scott made from the jail in which he talked about letters that needed to be mailed and a plan to get someone picked up by ICE so Scott's trial could get dismissed, according to the criminal complaint. He also admitted to police that he wrote the letters, documents said. Morales Reyes works as a dishwasher in Milwaukee, where he lives with his wife and three children. He had recently applied for a U visa, which is for people in the country illegally who become victims of serious crimes, said attorney Kime Abduli, who filed that application. Abduli told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Monday that she was glad Morales Reyes was being cleared of any involvement in the letter writing. His deportation defense lawyer, Cain Oulahan, wrote in an email Monday night that the main focus now is to secure Morales Reyes' release from custody and the next step will be to pursue any relief he may qualify for in immigration court. 'While he has a U visa pending, those are unfortunately backlogged for years, so we will be looking at other options to keep him here with his family, which includes his three US citizen children,' Oulahan wrote.
