However, one piece of information brought back some bad childhood memories for the actress, who revealed that there was definitely trauma surrounding it.
During an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jennifer Aniston spoke candidly about a number of topics.

Aniston also debunked rumors about installing an anti-aging water filter in her home. However, she did confess to some very interesting speculation. The star revealed that she traveled with olives. She even copped to keeping her late therapist’s ashes in a bag after asking to “plead the fifth.” When it came to a rumor that her family used to force her to belly dance at special occasions, she opened up a bit more, per The Daily Mail.
“You know. The Greeks love any kind of a family dinner, they would say, ‘Let’s get up and watch’ – it’s like when you say to your child, ‘Play piano for everyone, let’s sing for everyone,”‘ Aniston revealed.
“I get such anxiety when my friends do that to their children. I have inner trauma from having to perform and belly dance in front of my Greek aunts and uncles and grandmothers,” she added.
However, some fans had a different way of thinking about Aniston’s childhood performances.
“She is reading way too much into this. Some kids love showing off talents and parents love seeing their kids thrive and show their talents. Sounds like she is finding reasons to complain,” one person stated.
“That’s trauma? She does not understand what that really means. Lucky her,” another commented.
“Neither parent is alive to respond to her accusations, so why tell the world about this private horror,” said another.
It seems that Jennifer Aniston isn’t afraid to laugh at herself or get brutally honest about her life. Over the years, she’s been a tabloid staple, so reading crazy rumors about herself has likely just become commonplace.
