Yesterday, the 50-year-old apologised to fans for shutting down the platform on Tuesday when her new account gained one million followers in just over five hours. The snap she posted of her Friends co-stars reached the milestone 29 minutes sooner than the previous record holders, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan.
Such was the rush to follow the actress her page crashed for a short time, but still finished its first day with 11 million followers, with the number growing daily.
Posting a second image this week showing her smashing a phone in a clip from her new Apple TV+ series The Morning Show, she wrote: “I swear I didn’t mean to break it.
“Thank you guys for the kind, glitchy welcome.”
Showbiz observers were surprised at Jen’s foray into social media after years of protecting her privacy.
She previously said: “The one thing I have is maintaining this little circle of sanctity that’s my own.
If I’m sitting here posting something about my dogs or I’m boomeranging my coffee mug in the morning, that’s just giving away one more piece of something that is mine.”
She is now following 116 accounts, including Michelle Obama, Leonardo DiCaprio and comedian Jack Whitehall.
