Jennifer Aniston: “Attention Everyone! I Was Married To Brad Pitt!”

56890254jenniferaniston311200984733am-1

Surely you remember, it was only two weeks ago, that Jennifer Aniston didn’t want to discuss her marriage with Brad Pitt?  You know, the marriage that ended years ago.

Now Jen is doing promo work for Marley & Me in the UK and talked with Hello! magazine:

You were with Brad Pitt for seven years – and married for five. It must have been very intense, in the public eye? [sic]
“It was. But I don’t regret any of that time with Brad and I’m not here to beat myself up about it. They were seven very intense years together, and it was a beautiful and complicated relationship. I will love Brad for the rest of my life – you can’t take away good memories. I really do hope that we’ll be good friends again at some point. You can survive anything – human endurance is unbelievable. But yes, it’s sad coming to the end of something special. You try to avoid all the pain but that somehow causes even more. I’m a human being, have human experiences.”

I know Jen says that humans are durable and can survive anything but I really do not know if I can overcome one more fucking interview about her marriage that lasted four and a half years, has been over for four years, and is still the only topic she has to talk about.

  • Listen, it’s not like she asked herself the question. An interviewer asked her and she answered. I have a feeling she’s a pretty nice person in real life. I just don’t get the whole Aniston-hating crowd..

    • Completely agree! If EVERY person that interviews her would stop asking I think she’d stop talking about it.
      I don’t don’t feel like she just randomly brings it up.
      How’s the weather? Nice like my ex-husband, Brad Pitt.
      I think it’s gunna rain tomorrow really hard, like the tears I cry over my ex-husband, Brad Pitt.

      • I agree- its not like she asks hereslf the question!

        and blogger chick, if it bothers you so much, why do you always write about it? its the media that keep on harping on about it!

        Jen is clearly over it, but is too polite to tell that to fuck off!

      • Well other celebrities manage to move forward and not talk about their ex for decades after the fact. This is how they do it: Ahead of time, their publicist tells the publication that is conducting the interview, “No questions, whatsoever, about so-and so.”

    • dammit, Wendie beat me to it. Celebrities are constantly having their publicists prep magazines for an interview. they can just say, point blank, do not ask her questions about her divorce from years ago. We’re over it.

  • I agree with jojo. i mean, instead of asking “why does jen keep talking bout her ex” we should be asking “why the fuck do people still ask her about it”
    it’s like THEY bring up the topic.. and then accuse her of not getting over it. sheesh

  • Get a clue she’s not especially interesting without the close link to Brad., even with it, ‘OMG he’s gone!’ from ME!!! grudge comes out and overwhelms the mature human at peace with her life she says she possesses.
    >_< I’d say for a long time she’s not completely honest with anyone about her feelings and intentions.. and cautiously agrees or says maybe later.. But especially of Brad and the desertion, her divorce she’s ashamed, lost and furious he called her out on those superficial qualities., wishes him great evil and ill will she has to put some effort out to pretend she really, really wants a husband and children!

  • okay, she was just answering a question. and it wasn’t some obnoxious answer. everyone would just be calling her a bitch if she refused to respond to a question about that relationship. some people just won’t let her win.
    i love her though.

  • I agree, Wendie, it’s getting annoying.
    I always liked Jennifer Aniston, but after the divorce (which, I have no doubt, must have been hard for her – looks like she’s still not over it) she was hailed as this extremely strong and independent woman, and that’s just not true. Strong and independent woman don’t have to reassure every interviewer about how much they’re over a relationship but will always “love” (there’s a line to be crossed here) their ex-hubby.
    Most of all, strong and independent women don’t date douches like John Mayer and hope he’ll change his mind about doin’ her a baby.

    I’d go as far as sy it’s a little pathetic – especially since she’s doing it in an interview.

    • You suck? What are you 12? WOW! I totally agree with Wendie, Jen Aniston needs to get over it, she is more than capable of saying “no comment” about any Brad questions. Shes stupid and the whole victim act is old. And John Mayer is a huge DOUCHE therefore so is she.

      • i hate you jenfer astoin you are stupid and pig nobody knows allboat you are not married to brand pitt is angelina jolie is married to brand pitt not you jenfer astoin you are over brand pitt to cover the truth

      • Ok, she has said, “No Comment” before and rumors started that she’s not over him and she has too much emotions to talk about it. She can’t win for losing. She’s a sweet girl and doesn’t want to be a bitch. Give her a break. By being ok to laugh about it and talk about it she’s proving that she’s over it. Who cares if her reps haven’t told tabloids not to ask about it…if you don’t want to hear about it, don’t pay attention to it! P.S. Since when does it matter who someone else dates??? So, you think Mayer’s a douche…she obviously didn’t. Your opinion = not important or relevant. Im sure you have dated people that other ppl didn’t like too…but the only person that should have been worried about that was you…im sure she doesn’t care what you, or anybody else for that matter, think. This goes out to everyone…if you don’t wanna hear about it, don’t pay attention to it. Geez…get a life.

  • So an interviewer ask you a question about your past relationship with Brad Pitt. That leaves you three possibilities:

    1. Refuse to answer the question, telling you can’t stand the question anymore. -> Then you are the bitch who is difficult in the interviews.
    2. Say something bad about him. -> then you are the bitch, who’s talking bad about her ex.
    3. Say something nice and tastefully about the relationship. -> Then you get critizised in blogs like this for answering the question a reporter brought up.

    Hm, difficult decision!

  • While it’s true that she didn’t ask herself the question, when celebs get interviewed they are allowed to lay down ground rules about things that cannot be discussed. Their “people” or whomever, will simply inform the interviewer ahead of time “Please don’t ask Ms. Aniston about Brad Pitt. She’s done discussing it.” It’s really that easy. And it’s yet to be done, which leads me to believe it really is the only interesting thing she has to discuss, ever.
    Truth is, I’d have a lot of trouble getting over a divorce from Brad Pitt. I don’t blame her for that. But she needs therapy, not interviews, to hash it all out.

    • I totally agree!!!!! Handlers always tell interviewers that there can be no questions about certain things or the interview ends! She does these interviews because she is a no-talent. boring woman and it keeps her in the news It’s all she’s got going for her!!!

  • Oh Wendie…that photo and headline were classic. I can barely speak, let alone CHUCKLE at this hour of the morning, but I love reading your stuff with my cup of tea.

    Aniston certainly does have the option NOT to talk about shit she doesn’t want to talk about in interviews. Have we EVER seen Jodie Foster talk about Hinkley? Hell no. StupidJen WANTS to keep the Brad-Fire alive–CLEARLY. She wants US to talk about it, too. Otherwise, she’d shut her chin-hole about her “intense” marriage to Mr. Pitt.

  • Has the media stopped asking Debby Reynolds about being dumped by Eddie Fisher for Elizabeth Taylor? If so, when did they stop? When Liz dumped Eddie for Richard Burton?

    Maybe some years after Angelina leaves Brad for another hunky actor, assuming that Angie’s having a few dozen kids won’t deter the future lucky guy, and Brad consoles himself with another actress, assuming that she’s willing to be a stepmother to a few dozen kids, Jen will get to stop hearing these relentless questions.

    Or maybe the next wave of questions for Jen will be, “How does it feel to know that Brad is going through what you went through?” I just find it interesting that neither Brad nor Angie seem to be pestered with these questions. Is it because they can hide behind their children?

    What does it take for the media to discuss an actress’ work with her, and not her love life, past or present? After all, she’s in the public eye due to her work, not her love life.

    • ” I just find it interesting that neither Brad nor Angie seem to be pestered with these questions.”

      Because their publicists are smart enough to be all, DO NOT ASK THEM ABOUT JEN. THEY WON’T ANSWER

  • I agree with Mark.

    If she tells her publicist to make sure that the interviewers dont ask her about her ex-marriage, the haters will say “Jen isnt over Brad! Doesnt want to talk about Brad and Angie!”.

    Im not a huge fan, but I get annoyed by all the vitriol directed towards her. It just seems like people are blaming her for something that isnt her fault, whilst Brad Pitt gets off without a scratch. Its crazy sexist.

  • I’ve always been on the fence about Jen. She seems like a genuinely nice person, but my gawd, shut up about Brad already. Get some therapy honey, dump that ass-hat of a boyfriend and get your shit together.

  • she should take a note from the very clever ms. jolie when asked about her ex, billy bob thorton:

    “I still love him dearly and think the world of him.”
    “I’m proud to have been his wife for a time.”

    period.

    going on about how hard things were to get over & all this destiny’s child ‘i’m-a-sur-vi-vor’! crap makes ANY woman look like they are constantly living in the past and has sour grapes for her ex.

  • I always thought Aniston had handled all of it fairly well considering Jolie promptly got pregnant before there was even a divorce. I don’t believe Aniston had anything to say about any of it… for over year when it all happen.

    But she got to listen to Jolie spent the entire time endlessly talking of their (Pitt & Jolie) magical love to anyone who asked her. And how it all started on the set of that Smith movie. After Pitt had denied anything had happen till he ditched his wife. Classy….

    So I am not annoyed with Aniston talking about it. I suspect it took her this long to be able to talk about it and have a sense of humor about it. It had to be soul killing to know your husband took off with woman who had no shame of rubbing your nose in it ever since it happen.

    I never knew Pitt would have been this big of a media ho… he has not stop talking either. So they all need to shut up and move on. I never have bought the whole “saint” act that Jolie has been trying to sell since she dumped Billy Bob Thornton. Ugh.

    • Well put! I think Jennifer Aniston is classy about the whole thing, she’s nice about it. I wouldn’t be so nice! Jolie just hides behind her stolen children, just because they made cute babies together doesn’t make it right that they had an affair.

      • wow. That’s a super cute way to say “adoptive children”— stolen children? Really? I’m sure that everyone who has adopted agrees.

        What fucking horrible people, giving these poor orphans a wonderful life and a steady home!!! OMG assholes!!

  • I’ve heard several BP interviews; he is not asked nor does he volunteer to speak about Jen. Her publicist can politely ask she not be questioned about Brad since she has said all there is to say. Many, many stars have done so. I do not recall Nicole being asked ad nauseum about Tom. Nor has Tom ever said much at all about his divorce from Nicole. IMHO, she is still not over Brad. Maybe if she would finally get mad at him she could heal; after all, she blames Jolie partly, why not blame Brad as he was half of the equation.

  • Come on now, she went from screwing Tate Donovan (blah) to the hotness which is Brad Pitt back to guys like Vince Vaughn and John Mayor…. wouldn’t you talk about Brad Pitt for years too! ;)

    • you make a good point…the babies between those to would have a ridiculous-looking Fred Munster noggin. lol!

  • Hautie, Angelina Jolie did NOT dump Billy Bob Thornton. HE left HER after she adopted Maddox. He did not want to be tied down with a kid and didn’t like it when she did not want to continue the lifestyle he was leading. SHE grew up when she adopted Maddox.

    To hmmm, what nonsense are you talking?! Angelina and Brad’s adopted children are NOT stolen children! Zahara was in extremely bad health and being neglected in an orphanage. Maddox was also in an orphanage when she saw him. All THREE of the children had NOTHING and would most likely not have made it to adulthood, especially Zahara. Angelina went through the legal process to get those children. Pitt left Aniston in January of that year…the movie was being filmed until MAY! He did not get involved physically with Jolie until AFTER he left Aniston, and all THREE have said that repeatedly. After all this time, if Jolie wants to say she fell in love with Pitt during the filming of that movie, she has every right to do so. Aniston needs to get over herself. She has no class and should looke to Nicole Kidman to see what a really classy woman is! It is no wonder that John Mayer has finally had enough of Aniston, especially after the tacky way she acted at the Oscars when she couldn’t stop staring at Pitt.

  • COULDN’T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!!! I LOVE ANGIE!!! NOW THATS A STRONG WOMAN!!! DO YOUR THANG GIRL! FUCK THE HATERS!!!

  • All of the ugly jealous haters can’t move on. All of them going to hell for extreme jealous to Jolie. Jenifer Aniston and her kiss ass fan get serious mental sickness

  • I am SO sick of her whiney ass. Yes, Jennifer we KNOW you were married to him. Too bad you weren’t as concerned w/your marriage when you were STILL married to him. I remember as far back as 2002 there were problems. You were asked if he was the love of your life and your cavalier answer was something like “uh, is he? I dunno”
    I am sick to death of hearing of you breaking down or some sh#t about him when you have a movie coming out. FIND A NEW SUBJECT TO SELL YOUR MOVIE’S……

  • As someone else pointed out that quote is from 2005, highly irrelevant to 2009.

    So what is she still loves Brad? Who are we to say that is wrong? I bet Brad still has love for her. You can be with someone for almost 8 years and not feel some sort of residual emotion.

    None of us know these people personally, and quite frankly, celebrity worshiping is so old. They live their lives, we should live ours and stop bickering about who is better than who.

    • AMEN!!!

      p.s. Hockibabe, she has said time and time again that the result of their marriage coming to an end was a two way street…leave it alone. And besides that was three years before they split, and im sure she was being coy.

  • Jennifer Aniston looks like a sweet, nice person. Angelina Jolie looks tough and like you wouldn’t want to piss her off.
    If I was an interviewer and a publicist from Jen had said “no talking about Brad” then I might try and slip one in anyway, knowing the worst that would happen would be I would get asked nicely by Jen to please not ask about the subject- and it looks like being still in love with Brad, she probably can’t resist giving some kind of answer. If however I was interviewing Brad or Angelina, I would be absolutely terrified of asking something I had been told not to ask. That’s just my opinion, but until Jen gets in a good relationship with someone and gets over Brad, they are going to keep asking about him because interviewers always ask about your love life- if you don’t have one, they ask about your exs.
