Jennifer Aniston has showed support for her former Friends co-star David Schwimmer after he criticised Kanye West’s recent social media posts.

The Touch the Sky rapper is currently feeling the wrath of several Hollywood stars after wearing a White Lives Matter T-shirt at Paris Fashion Week just days ago, before making comments about the Jewish community on social media.

His Instagram account was restricted for a post described as anti-semitic, which he moved to Twitter and allegedly tweeted that he was going ‘death con 3 on Jewish people’.

The Ross Geller actor also took to social media and shared a post which read ‘bye’ and branded Ye’s words as ‘divisive and ignorant.’

‘Anti-semitism is on the rise globally,’ he began. ‘Jews make up only 2.4% of the population of the United States but are the victims of more than 60% of all religious hate crimes.

‘Whether or not Kanye West is mentally ill, there’s no question he is a bigot. His hate speech calls for violence against Jews. ‘If you interpret his words any other way and defend him, guess what? You are racist.’

The post received over 300,000 likes one of which included a double tap from his former on-screen lover Jennifer.

Jamie Lee Curtis, Piers Morgan and Sarah Silverman are just some of the stars who have publicly condemned the Yeezy founder’s actions.

Freaky Friday actress Jamie admitted she ‘burst into tears’ after reading what was said.

‘“DEFCON 3 on Jewish people?” What are you doing?’ she said during her sit-down on Monday’s The Today Show.

‘I mean, it’s bad enough that fascism is on the rise around the world. But on Twitter, on a portal, to pour that in? As if Jewish people haven’t had it hard enough?’

In the full tweet attributed to Kanye, he reportedly wrote: ‘I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE. 

‘The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.’
