Jul 14, 2016- Hollywood celebrities are lining up behind actress Jennifer Aniston after she penned a blog criticizing the media for the way it scrutinizes female stars.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 11.5px; line-height: 20.7px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
Melissa McCarthy, Jason Bateman and Olivia Wilde were among the A-Listers who showed their support.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 11.5px; line-height: 20.7px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
"Everybody needs to stop tearing down women," McCarthy, 45, said on "Entertainment Tonight," after declaring she was "one hundred thousand billion percent" behind Aniston.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 11.5px; line-height: 20.7px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
Former "Friends" star Aniston, 47, published the blog, "For the Record," on the Huffington Post on Tuesday, writing that she was sick of being harassed by photographers and tabloid reporters.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 11.5px; line-height: 20.7px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
"For the record, I am not pregnant," she wrote. "What I am is fed up. I'm fed up with the sport-like scrutiny and body shaming that occurs daily under the guise of 'journalism,' the 'First Amendment' and 'celebrity news.'"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 11.5px; line-height: 20.7px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
"The objectification and scrutiny we put women through is absurd and disturbing," Aniston also wrote, saying that "we define a woman's value based on her marital and maternal status."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 11.5px; line-height: 20.7px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
Aniston's husband, actor Justin Theroux, posted an image of her to his Instagram page with the hashtag #wcw for "Woman Crush Wednesday." He linked to her letter and wrote, "Here's just one reason why."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 11.5px; line-height: 20.7px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
Aniston, who People magazine named as the most beautiful woman of 2016 in April, said she wrote the blog because she "wanted to participate in a larger conversation" even though she does not use social media.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 11.5px; line-height: 20.7px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
The blog post was "liked" on Facebook more than 27,000 times by Wednesday afternoon.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 11.5px; line-height: 20.7px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
“The way I am portrayed by the media is simply a reflection of how we see and portray women in general, measured against some warped standard of beauty,” Aniston wrote.</div>
