Jennifer Aniston's representatives have slammed reports the actress’ bodyguard made a racist comment to a paparazzo recently while the star was filming in Canada.

Local reports claim Aniston’s minder, Scott Marino, called snapper Rik Fedyck’s girlfriend a "chink", in a reference to her Asian background.

But the former Friends star’s spokesperson has denied the allegations, insisting Marino "was not even present" on the set of Aniston’s new film Traveling - which she is currently filming in Vancouver - when the reported incident was said to have taken place.

According to TMZ.com, a heated exchange did take place between Fedyck and another security person, but it was not Marino.

Fedyck has since filed a formal complaint with the police, but no action has yet to be taken.
