  • Jennifer Aniston believed Brad Pitt's lies that he won't replace her with another woman
  • Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are friends 

Jennifer Aniston was heartbroken when her five-year marriage to Brad Pitt ended. But one of the things that hurt her the most was the fact that her ex-husband lied to her face.

During her interview with Vanity Fair, Aniston broke down in tears while remembering Pitt’s cryptic words. The “Ad Astra” star told Aniston that he will not leave her for another woman. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what he did shortly after he met Angelina Jolie on the set of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.”

Months after they announced their divorce, Aniston shared her reaction after she saw photos of Pitt and Jolie hanging out at the beach with Maddox. The “Friends” star admitted that she felt blindsided because she believed Pitt when he said that there was nothing going on between them.

In order to deal with the pain of her divorce, Aniston regularly took herself outside her Malibu beach house to scream in fury and to let all of her bottled-up emotions go.

“Just being able to go to the water’s edge and scream... Not too loudly. You don’t want people to think that you’re crazy. But it can be very cathartic,” she said.

It took Aniston and Pitt years before they rekindled their friendship. And according to sources, the “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” star reached out to Aniston first after he found out that her mom had died.

Since then, the exes have been contacting each other every now and then. Just recently, Pitt and Aniston made headlines when they reunited at the SAG Awards. Weeks later, they hung out briefly at the Oscars after-party.

As for Pitt and Jolie, the two A-listers are no longer together. They announced their decision to divorce in 2016. But until today, outrageous rumors continue to plague the former couple.

Star claimed that Jolie is threatening to leak a video of Pitt where the actor appears to be extremely drunk. However, it is best to take this unfounded claim with a grain of salt.
