    Jennifer Aniston is embracing the mess.

    The actress, 55, posted an Instagram on Sunday with behind-the-scenes photos of her doused in fake oil from filming her hit Apple TV+ series “The Morning Show.”

    Aniston had the sticky liquid thrown at her while playing her character, Alex Levy, in New York City last weekend.

    The Emmy Award winner kicked one of her feet in the air as she smiled at the camera.

    The “Friends” alum also took a video of two people, seemingly a mother and her son, standing next to a window holding a sign that read, “We love The Morning Show.”

    Aniston captioned her post, “I ❤️ NY.”

    “We blew everything up last year with the biggest bomb we could possibly build,” she said at Deadline’s Contenders TV event . “So, we have to ask ourselves how is the band going to get back together, and what will that look like?”

    Stoudt continued: “We get into the world of DeepFakes and AI and the misinformation in the fog of war that we’re seeing now in the Middle East and stuff. We’re looking at who can trust. And can you trust what you’re seeing? Can you trust yourself? Can you trust your news outlet?”

    Apple has not yet announced a premiere date for Season 4 of “The Morning Show.”
