Man accused of 'stalking' Jennifer Aniston for two years before crashing into gate at her home
On Monday (05.05.25), Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, 48, is said to have driven his Chrysler PT Cruiser into the front gate of the 'Friends' star's Bel Air property.
He has been accused of repeatedly sending Jennifer, 56, unwanted email, social media messages and voicemail since 2023.
Prosecutors said he has now been charged with felony stalking and vandalism, while Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said Carwyle also faces an aggravating circumstance of threat of great bodily harm.
Hochman said in a statement: "My office is committed to aggressively prosecuting those who stalk and terrorise others, ensuring they are held accountable."
Carwyle has been held in jail since his arrest earlier this week with bail set at $150,000 (£112,742).
He will appear in court on Thursday (08.05.25), and could face up to three years in prison if he is convicted.
Jennifer was at home when Carwyle allegedly crashed into the gate.
A public information officer from the Los Angeles Police Department told PEOPLE: "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."
The authorities noted that while the suspect has sustained minor injuries, no one else was hurt in the incident.
Jennifer rose to fame on 'Friends' alongside Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and the late Matthew Perry.
The six stars appeared on the iconic sitcom from 1994 to 2004, and since then she has enjoyed roles in the likes of 'Marley and Me', 'Horrible Bosses', 'Murder Mystery' and Apple TV+ series 'The Morning Show'.
Jennifer recently revealed the most "surprising" place she had been recognised as her alter ego Rachel Green, and admitted it was when she was in quite a "vulnerable" state.
She told Travel+Leisure magazine: "Not surprising, but I've been in vulnerable places, like undressed in a steam room, or in a sauna or some sort of a spa either half-covered or completely naked."

Jennifer Aniston is embracing 90s fashion revival with two major exceptions
Jennifer Aniston is rejecting two key trends in the '90s fashion revival. The Friends actress, who rose to fame on the iconic sitcom from 1994 to 2004, is delighted to see the decade's style resurgence in recent years, but she's not totally convinced. She told Vanity Fair magazine: "I celebrate the '90s coming back. Except for those narrow sunglasses and the really thin eyebrows." However, Jennifer admitted she still "loves" the clothing of the era. She added: "I love vintage clothes from the decade. They fit me so well.' The 56-year-old star also enjoys handing down her outfits to the next generation, including close friend Jason Bateman's daughters Francesca, 18, and 13-year-old Maple. Jason told the outlet: "She's the first one to call or text about big dates in the girls' lives. She has questions about boyfriends. "[She's like an aunt] you might not see all the time. She's almost closer to a co-mom with Amanda. "She's been a part of their lives from the moment they were born. It is odd for them to even understand the public Jennifer Aniston.' Jennifer admitted she often notices Francesca wearing her old outfits during joint family vacations. She added: "Well, there's my bikini. Your child is now wearing my bikinis. Whoa. We've come a long way.' Jennifer is no stranger to hand me downs either, as she even managed to take some of her Friends co-star Courteney Cox's costumes after the comedy came to an end. Courteney previously told the Fashion Neurosis podcast: "As a matter of fact, I could have kept anything on [Friends] that I wanted, and I didn't... "[Jennifer] took a lot of Monica's dresses, and she'll say, 'Oh yeah, I used to wear this on Friends.' "And I mean, it looks great on her. She has a great figure and she's adorable. But I'm like, 'Why would you take this floral little prairie dress from Friends?' But she holds on to everything."

Jennifer Aniston makes rare comment about ‘love triangle' with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Jennifer Aniston hasn't publicly spoken much about her 'love triangle' with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, and his now-ex wife, Angelina Jolie, but the Friends star made some rare comments in a Vanity Fair profile published on Tuesday. 'It was … such a vulnerable time,' she told the outlet. 'Journalism back then felt more like a form of a sport.' Aniston, 56, and Pitt, 61, were married from 2000 to 2005. Pitt met Angelina Jolie, 50, on the set of the 2005 movie Mr. and Mrs Smith. The Fight Club actor was with Jolie from 2005 to 2016 when she filed for divorce. Reflecting on the tabloid frenzy around her 'love triangle' with Pitt and Jolie, Aniston told Vanity Fair, 'There's obviously some PTSD we all have, which is why these [interviews] scare me.' The Morning Wars actress added, 'How are they going to misinterpret my words or take something out of context? And one line nowadays …' For years after Pitt left Aniston for Jolie, speculation about Aniston's love life and desire to have kids or not was splashed in headlines. 'It was such juicy reading for people. If they didn't have their soap operas, they had their tabloids,' Aniston told VF. She said, 'It's a shame that it had to happen, but it happened. And boy did I take it personally.' VF noted that Aniston refers to that period of time as 'the love triangle' years. The Along Came Polly actress said that her advice to herself at the time was, 'Just pick yourself up by the bootstraps and keep on walking, girl.' Referring to her constant presence in the tabloids around 2005, Aniston shared, 'I didn't have a strong enough constitution to not get affected by it.' The Horrible Bosses actress added, 'We're human beings, even though some people don't want to believe we are. They think, You signed up for it, so you take it. But we really didn't sign up for that.' Following Pitt, Aniston had high-profile relationships with John Mayer and Vince Vaughn, before her relationship with Justin Theroux. The pair were linked in 2011 and tied the knot in 2015. Aniston and Theroux revealed their split in 2018 and went through 'the most gentle' divorce. Pitt, meanwhile, married Jolie in 2014. The exes have three biological children, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17, and three adopted children, Maddox, 24, Pax, 21, and Zahara, 20. In 2016, Jolie ended their marriage following an alleged altercation on a plane with their six children present. Pitt was investigated after the alleged incident and wasn't charged by authorities, but he is believed to be estranged from his kids. After their split, Pitt and Jolie spent nearly a decade fighting over the custody of their children and the division of their assets. On December 30, 2024, Jolie's lawyer confirmed that the former couple finally reached a settlement in their divorce, five years after they were declared legally single. Since 2022, Pitt has been romantically linked to Ines de Ramon. In recent years, Aniston has spoken more about her image in the media. In a 2021 interview with the Hollywood Reporter, she said, 'I used to take it all very personally — the pregnancy rumours and the whole 'Oh, she chose career over kids' assumption. It's like, 'You have no clue what's going with me personally, medically, why I can't … can I have kids?' They don't know anything, and it was really hurtful and just nasty.' In November 2022, Aniston got candid about her struggles with in vitro fertilisation and her infertility. In 2023, she said that Adam Sandler sends her flowers every Mother's Day. Jason Bateman, who's Aniston's close friend, told Vanity Fair in Tuesday's story that the actress is like a 'co-mum' to his kids, Francesca, 18, and Maple, 13. The Arrested Development actor said that Aniston is 'the first one to call or text about big dates in the girls' lives.' She's also friends with Gwyneth Paltrow, who dated Pitt from 1994 to 1997. When asked if they talk about their mutual ex, she said, 'Oh, of course. How can we not? We're girls.' Aniston has not written a memoir, but she told VF that she will publish one someday, when she has 'more' to share. Besides Pitt, the star also admitted that she and her Friendsco-stars 'mourned' Matthew Perry long before his death in 2023.

Jennifer Aniston's candid admissions about ‘love triangle' divorce from Brad Pitt
Twenty years after two of Hollywood's biggest names went their separate ways, superstar actor Jennifer Aniston has given a rare insight recounting the fallout following her divorce from Brad Pitt. The former Friends golden girl has spoken to Vanity Fair about life after Brad, trading advice with former Pitt partner Gwenyth Paltrow, and her dismay over tabloid media stories that keep her behind closed doors in the Los Angeles hills. In a revealing interview with the same magazine soon after their split, Aniston shocked the world and delivered a racy exposé titled The Unsinkable Jennifer Aniston, as an exclamation mark to end the five-year marriage. Wearing only a men's button-down shirt, with underwear and thigh-high boots, the post-Pitt interview was as memorable for its imagery as its content and signalled a release for Aniston, albeit at a cost. 'I haven't looked at that article in forever,' Aniston says. 'I just remember the experience of doing it, which was kind of jarring. It was also such a vulnerable time. But yeah, that was one for the memoirs. 'Journalism back then felt more like a form of a sport. 'There's obviously some PTSD we all have, which is why these (interviews) scare me. 'How are they going to misinterpret my words or take something out of context? And one line nowadays…,' she adds. They say time heals all wounds, but the bounce back from a time Aniston describes as her 'love triangle' period, as Brad Pitt's blossoming relationship with Angelina Jolie burst into the spotlight, has been a slow burn. Her mantra to ward off the suffocating gaze of paparazzi and online gossip columnists: 'Just pick yourself up by the bootstraps and keep on walking, girl', she tells Vanity Fair. 'It was such juicy reading for people. If they didn't have their soap operas, they had their tabloids.' 'It's a shame that it had to happen, but it happened. And boy did I take it personally.' 'I didn't have a strong enough constitution to not get affected by it. We're human beings, even though some people don't want to believe we are,' she said. Aniston's relationship with Pitt has rekindled over time and fans have been heartened to see the pair chat together on podcasts and meet happily at awards ceremonies. 'I will love (Brad) for the rest of my life. He's a fantastic man. I don't regret any of it, and I'm not going to beat myself up about it,' she says. Friendships with other Hollywood royalty have blossomed during the years, and her relationship with Paltrow holds a special bond. When asked if the pair discuss their respective time spent with Pitt, the answer comes with ease. 'Oh, of course,' Aniston says. 'How can we not? We're girls. 'We're always swapping advice —'What are you doing for this? What are you doing for that? Do you have a new doctor for that?'' Another close friend Sandra Bollock says Aniston's ability to bounce back from adversity over the years has turned her into a wonderful friend. 'I think her superpower is that she could very easily be hard, but she's incredibly open,' Bullock says. 'People want to know about her and understand where she is in life and want her to be happy.'
