Jennifer Aniston Living in Fear and in a ‘State of Shock’ Following Terrifying Incident with Stalker

Shaken Friends alum Jennifer Aniston is reeling after facing her worst fear — an intruder who barreled his vehicle through her gated L.A. estate and wrought terror and chaos before a swift-acting security guard corralled him at gunpoint, sources say.

Insiders close to Jennifer, 56, report the Hollywood darling is in a “state of shock” after the nightmarish May 5 episode that saw a man in broad daylight ram his car into the gates guarding her $21 million, six-bedroom mansion in a tony Bel Air enclave.

A guard on Aniston’s private security detail quickly pounced on the man and held him inside his wrecked car until police arrived shortly before 1 P.M.

Police arrested Jimmy Wayne Carlywle, 48, who they say has a criminal record, and booked him without bail for felony vandalism while law enforcement continues to look into possible stalker charges as creepy social media posts made under his name begin to surface.

One such post claims that Jen is his bride!

“Christ Jimmy Wayne Carlywle and Emanuel Jennifer Joanna Aniston Carlywle, HIS LOVE AND INNERMOST BEING WAS US, TWO BEING ONE LIFE, ONE BEING, ONE FLESH, THROUGHOUT LIFE FIXING TO FINALLY GET TO SEE YOU!” reads one of several online posts.

The LAPD has confirmed Aniston was home at the time of the terrifying incident, but says she did not come into contact with the intruder and was not harmed.

“Jennifer has lived in fear of this moment, with some misguided fans blurs the line between her and her characters so much that they become capable of violating her life,” says a source.

“Stalkers are not something to be taken lightly. It’s a shadow that looms over the otherwise glamorous lives of so many stars. You can take precautions, but at the end of the day, you just don’t know what will happen.”

The alarming incident comes only a few months after the Morning Show star was the victim of an elaborate hoax that sent cops rushing to her residence.

A prankster phoned police in September to say they believed the resident of her mansion was in danger and required assistance.

The incident — known as “swatting” for its potential to bring a SWAT team to a private home — left Jennifer distressed, sources say.

“It hit pretty close to home, and now this,” says an insider. “It feels like the walls are closing in on her. It’s a grim thought but unavoidable — given the terror of recent events.”
