Within minutes of the Brangelina-split news breaking, people were already tossing up Jennifer Aniston memes on Twitter. For a large chunk of Tuesday, “Aniston” was trending alongside #Brangelina, #Angelina and #BradPitt. A sampling of the memes:

The Aniston fans will say that revenge is a dish best served cold. They will say that even though we’re 11-12 years removed from the introduction of Aniston’s jilted-wife brand, people still care, and by extension she must care. Personally, I think Aniston has made the effort over the past few years especially to change up her “wronged wife” brand. Her current brand is “happy with Justin Theroux” and “body-image HuffPo blogger.” And for the record, Jennifer hasn’t said anything. Really, she hasn’t. She’s just the recipient of a decade’s worth of Uncool Bermuda Triangle Shenanigans. Us Weekly’s sources insist that Aniston still cares… a little bit.
Jennifer Aniston doesn’t harbor any ill will toward her ex-husband Brad Pitt, but that’s not to say she might not feel somewhat satisfied upon learning about Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s split. Sources tell Us Weekly that the Friends alum, who was married to Pitt prior to his romance with Jolie, sees the By the Sea stars’ failed marriage somewhat as karma.
According to an insider, the Mother’s Day actress, 47, said, “Yeah, that’s karma for you!” while discussing the news with a longtime pal.
“She always got the sense that something would happen with them eventually,” the insider tells Us, noting that she did believe Pitt loved the Oscar-winning actress. “She didn’t feel that Angelina was truly the one who Brad was meant to stay with. She always felt that Angelina was too complex for him. He’s a pretty simple guy.”
A second source tells Us that while Aniston “admittedly feels sort of satisfied about Brad and Angelina’s split,” she also “never wanted this for them or wished this on them.”
“Jen does wish Brad luck and the best. She feels like she’s happy, and she wants him to be happy too,” the second insider explains. “Jen does not hold on to any negativity from her marriage to Brad.”
Whoever constructed those quotes is sort of amazing. The shade of this: “She always felt that Angelina was too complex for him.” LOL!!! Karma, it seems, is Brad Pitt’s last ex-wife calling him a dumb-dumb. As for karma and all of that… I hope Aniston doesn’t see this as her karmic retribution, because if that’s the case, I wonder what Heidi Bivens’ karmic retribution looks like?
Also: Page Six has a story about Jennifer being not-shocked about the news too. A source claims, “Jennifer always knew that this day would come…Everyone in Jennifer’s inner circle regards Angelina as a crazy master manipulator. But we all presumed the end of their affair would be Angelina leaving Brad for someone else.” Well, it’s still early days. That could be the case! I’ve been trying to think of candidates for Angelina’s possible jumpoff, and I don’t know. The name I keep thinking about is… Amber Heard.

There is always the unverified ‘insider’ comment. What BS.
I know right,complete hogwash..i doubt she cares.
I agree! I doubt she cares except to realize she’s once again going to be drawn into something she has nothing to do with. 11 years ago? I can’t even remember who I was with 11 years ago for God’s sake. What fake drama!
Exactly.
Aniston WILL be dragged into this for the tab narratives. Come hell or high water!
Bingo. I call bull.
Yup, it’s like the Cotillard story, pure speculation. The writers are running wild with their theories.
I actually believe Jen is like…”for craps sake I thought I was finally past this and now I’ll be drug right back in!!!!” I would be annoyed as hell. How many decades have to go by before she isn’t the next name that’s said after Brad??
Yeah, I wouldn’t be happy with this stupid “a source said, Jennifer said/feels….”. Sure, whoever is writing the copy has their imagination as a “source”.
Silver lining, Angelina can now enjoy the ex-wife of Brad Pitt title and, maybe, Jen won’t get linked at all after this initial flurry of creative writing!
THIS.
I’m with you. I’m thinking she is dreading the renewed media spotlight.
Yep! No matter what she will never ever be done with this. None of them will. When Brad moves on she will be brought up, their gossip lives are irrevocably tied together.
I do not believe this at all, she is in a precarious situation. She cant just have an outright gut reaction like that, I mean it will always be perceived she still cares. So she would need to be careful in her response as not to offend her husband.
That reaction also makes her look like a shitty person. I just dont believe she would jepordize her image or her marriage by shooting off at the mouth.
At least you hope that she would not NEED to comment on any relationship that ended 12 years ago. Do they ask her what happened to all of John Mayer’s relationhsips after her? Of course not.
Again, she could end this PERMANENTLY by saying …nothing.
Let’s see if she is smart enough to do it. We know her BFF pitbull Chelsea Handler can’t resist anything Jolie.
I agree I doubt she cares. She worked through her (justified) hurt and somehow that lead to 10 years of being the jilted wife.
But the memes were hilarious I needed the lightness in the middle of other rage inducing news like more shootings, bomb scares and poisonous skittles.
Exactly. I don’t think she cares about it. She is probably just a little bit annoyed that some people are dragging her into that mess. BTW She looks amazing in these photos above.
Here we go….
Yep. The tabloids will have a field day with covers and headlines for weeks to come. “Brad wants Jennifer back! Aniston’s marriage on the rocks!” “Aniston and Pitt’s Secret Meetings, Justin ballistic!” “Theroux issues Ultimatum: Brad or Me!” “Aniston’s Choice: Justin or Brad?” “Brad Comes Crawling Back, What Will Jennifer Do?”
inTouch must have read your post for ideas because they are already on the Jenn is divorcing Justin angle lol!
I would be so pissed off with them for divorcing if I were her
she had finally escaped the Brad and Angie cloud and had been allowed to finally rewrite her narrative in the media away from sad barren jealous spinster into hot hot hot with hotty hubby
now them again
her head must want to explode
it was 12 yrs ago fgs
do any of us remember that guy??
It is such ancient history…I wouldn’t care if I were her. Yeah I might call a girlfriend and have a little bitchfest about it, but then move on.
1+
Oh please I do not think she has commented or will comment. Love close insider.. I am no fan of hers / theirs but you’d think she had more important things to be bothered with.
I agree. This is not good news for her at all. She has tried to shed that wronged wife image for awhile and with this, it all comes back like it was yesterday.
The new york post cover is really spiteful. They have kids that are hurting right now.
I would agree.
Totally. So disrespectful to the kids and Aniston. I’m not a fan of hers, but I’d hope she’s not laughing and calling it karma.
Super-gross and tasteless.
That’s pretty much the definition of the NY Post: gross and tasteless.
It is awful on so many levels.
This comment probably came from Chelsea Handler. I doubt that Jen will make any comments.
Who would wish a family of eight would break up?
Going by comments in most articles about this, a hell of a lot of people are cackling joyously about the end of a family.
@Zapp
Exactly. Very sad.
Firstly, LOVE the name! Secondly, agree with you 100%. Some people are “over the moon” about a family breaking up.
And the people who are cackling joyously about the breakup of a family and six children’s pain are the same ones who are crowing about karma. Really? You might want to be careful about throwing that word around right now. 🙁 it might come for you too
Omg I couldn’t agree more. No matter what this isn’t just gossip, this was a family, a
family who spent a lot of their time doing FAMILY together. It’s going to be a huge adjustment, but judging from things he’s been going back and forth for awhile, so in some sense it’s not like a huge day to day transition. The kids are used to having one parent around a lot of the time, I guess that’s thankful?
Either way, I am not sure Jen is so petty to wish ill and cackle and laugh and point fingers and scream I TOLD YOU SO. If the rumors are to be believed and he is a serial cheater she’s probably said good riddance and wished him off on Angie years ago over a bonfire, wine and some friends, you know?
This exactly! and Amy Tennant, yes. 100% agree.
I don’t believe that wanted them to break up at all. But let’s be brutally honest with ourselves for a moment – If your husband left you for a sex pot actress he worked with on a film and obviously had something going on with her before he actually left you for her whether it be emotionally, chemistry, flirting, etc., and they started a family together right out of the gate, wouldn’t you feel hurt and rejected? Inferior? And if, years later, they split up, wouldn’t you feel some element of validation? That’s not the same as wishing bad things on them and their family. That’s human nature saying it wasn’t anything you did and they haven’t been living the fairy tale they put out there. who wouldn’t feel validated? I know I would and that doesn’t make me an awful person – it makes me human, natural, and honest.
I don’t think it would make me feel “validated” because those ill feeling would be 12 years old and I would likely have moved on after, oh let’s say year five. I think I would feel satisfied that I was able to move on to a happy, loving, and committed relationship.
@JenniferJustice These are two separate issues. Yes, you would feel hurt if that happened to you. But Brad was not married to all of the people who are gleefully crowing over the divorce or throwing out “Karma” or calling Angelina crazy. I would completely understand if Jennifer was doing it, but people on blogs who don’t know any of the parties involved at all being happy about this situation is a little odd, to say the least about it. There is a lot of projection. vile theories (Brad being a pedophile, anyone) and entitlement in other threads regarding this situation that just happened yesterday.
Plus, she has not an ounce of room to judge seeing as how she and Justin got together is eerily similar to how everyone reports Brad and Angie got together.
Yes, I agree Jennifer and Justin did the same thing that was done to Jennifer and if they split up some day, I’m sure Justin’s ex will feel some validation. I don’t believe in karma so I wouldn’t use that word. I do believe in people’s character catching up with them if not sooner, later. All I was trying to get across is there is a difference between wishing ill will on someone or hoping their family gets broken up v. simply feeling validated when they split. I wouldn’t wish harm on anybody, even my enemies, but when I hear they’re going through a bad time, I can’t help but feel they reaped what they sowed. People who wanted this to happen, are happy about it, think it’s a great thing because they’ve always been team Aniston, etc. are gross b/c they’re not considering the children involved who, let’s face it, already have a bizarre life but they had two parents who loved them a lot a tried to give them a better life (the ones that were adopted). To wish hard times on AJ or Brad is to wish hard times on their kids and that’s sick.
All of us on here are projecting. None of us know these people and this is a gossip site. I don’t know what you mean by ‘entitlement’. As for vile theories, yes, I agreed with someone that timing of this split is spectacularly suspicious and coinciding with Corey Feldman’s comment on FaceBook. I’m far more emotionally invested in finding out who Corey Haim’s abuser is than I am in Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s marriage. I still think something is awry with this split, and positing guesses is what we do here. Doesn’t mean I want it to be true.
I agreed with most of your comment and basically was saying the same thing you said. I would understand if Jennifer felt validated/vindicated. Some people are using this story to represent them in some way- as if they are living vicariously through the celebs. Brad should not represent the boyfriend who cheated on you and Angelina is not the “hussy” that “took” him from you. You and I and everyone else are not the long suffering “victim” Jennifer.
I get that this is a gossip site, I truly do, but that does not excuse people from saying gross things with no consequences from other people who read the site. You cannot throw pedophilia claims nonchalantly around as if they are the same thing as cheating. There has to be some line that we do not cross when we are speculating about the demise of a relationship. Pedophilia, rape, physical abuse etc. should never be brought up when we are speculating about the demise of a relationship unless it is directly being claimed by one of the parties involved. Angelina has not said anything like that yet, but some commentators are taking what was stated in the documents and information from the “sources” along with their irrational dislike of her too far.
I,nor you, are projecting anything at the moment. I am taking everything one story at a time as more information is coming out. The entitlement comment is not directed at you; it mostly comes from some of the comments that I have read on this site where some people are writing “either come out with the truth or say nothing at all” as if Angelina actually owes them a full explanation about every detail of her reasoning for the divorce filing.
IN order to feel what you are feeling I would have to keep up on the gossip and info of everything related to him, keep a tab on who he is dating and follow up on his life (see stalking and sad spook tales), keep mentioning him to my firends and family, keep reacting every time his name comes up and expect everyone to walk on egg shells until I get over him or find a new man who could stay in my life long enough to help me forget the pain.
OR..
I could realize that MAYBE what I thought I had was not accurate and let it go… AND not embarass myself by constantly reacting to him even though it is clear that I am not included in any part of his life or future. No need to keep tabs on someone who does not want you. Find your self-esteem and this time, keep it.
And yes, I am annoyed at women who refused to own up to their own longstanding misery.
If a man does not want you LET HIM GO., especially when he tells it to your face. Hanging on or pining or longing for someone that gave you walking papers is self-inflicted pain.
A woman I know well and used to have a lot of respect for is gloating loudly about it. I asked her, how can you feel good about a family of six children breaking up, and she gave me the whole karma BS. I never realized what a petty and spiteful person she was before this but needless to say whatever respect for her I used to have is down the drain. This whole mess is bringing out the nasty side in a lot of people.
No one cares about whatever you built if the foundation is rotten.
Divorced children are common now, so no one feels like it’s some huge trauma. Especially for rich people.
Interesting. I think I might react the same way. It’s like she’s showing you her real face and you don’t like it.
I am totally rooting for Angber.
Holie?
Angelina is Amber’s type I think!
I’m so here for Angie and Amber, however the fact that Angie is being represented by the same lawyer who tried to paint Amber as a crazy liar rather than an abuse victim could complicate things a bit.
This is pathetic. Children are involved!
Yes. Won’t somebody think of the children?
Lmao
hahahaha…. I was tempted to post that earlier today when somebody was concerned for the harm to Marion’s alleged fetus.
Omg if you believe this is real and Jennifer Aniston gives a damn about these two at this point then I have a bridge I can sell you.
lol if that is true then i guess she is also buckling up for her heidi givens karma
Exactly this. *If* Aniston were dumb enough to really feel this way she better realize the universe may have a REALLY bumpy ride in store for her butt.
Just stay quiet Jen, for PR’s sake. This is going to be one ugly divorce but gloating this early is bad manners.
She has not said anything, this is tabloid stuff.
I wouldn’t be shocked if a fame thirsty person like Heard wouldn’t pull an Rita Ora and start trying to make it seem like she was the other woman just to get some attention only to then complain about people insinuating that she is the other woman.
Goodness knows she probably needs the press since no one is paying attention to her now.
Heard already copied the Jolie playbook when her flop movies and TV ‘roles’, were not getting her the attention she was desperate for.
And hasn’t she said she wants to be like Angelina? But maybe that was someone else I just feel someone said that.
Wow. How nice three women dragging another woman they know nothing about besides what the tabloids tell them. It’s so nice that in 2016 women still have to be against each other instead of with each other. We can do sooo much better ladies. This has nothing to do with Amber.
Get off your high horse and save your patronizing tone for someone else. Heard was in the post so that’s why she was brought up. And I am so sure you have never believed any gossip you heard about a celeb woman ever. I wonder why you are on a gossip site then ?
Jinni, being on a high horse is better than in a gutter. Try it!
Gossip=/=Misogyny.
There’s literally no reason to drag Heard’s name into this at all.
Lambda: A lot of people would say the fact that since we are both on a gossip site that we are in the gutter, so stop acting like you or anyone else is so much better when you are enjoying the same gossip as I am.
@Meg D: Once again her name was brought up by the original writer of this post. Her name is right there at the end as a possible jump off and is why I even talked about Heard. Apparently it okay to call her a jumpoff but me saying I believe she’d try and get some shine by inserting herself into this sorry is a problem? Why if she was brought up can I not comment about her?
Nah Jinni, I like my high horse. Because regardless of what Heard went through and regardless of what other women do/say, I try to give my fellow sisters the benefit of the doubt. If we’re not there for each other, then who will be? The men who don’t value us? The society that thinks we’re poor little weaklings who thrive on drama? No, thanks. I love gossip just as much as the next person, which is why I’m here, but I won’t be a misogynistic women hater.
I also don’t see how you don’t see the difference where the author is saying she could see her dating someone as opposed to calling someone thirsty for attention? She was brought up in a conversational topic way, not in a she’s a fame ho let’s drag her way.
@Dani: Here is the quote in the post-
” ‘Jennifer always knew that this day would come…Everyone in Jennifer’s inner circle regards Angelina as a crazy master manipulator. But we all presumed the end of their affair would be Angelina leaving Brad for someone else.’ Well, it’s still early days. That could be the case! I’ve been trying to think of candidates for Angelina’s possible jumpoff, and I don’t know. The name I keep thinking about is… Amber Heard.”
In it it clearly makes mention that people around Jennifer thought that Jolie would have had an affair on Pitt and that would be the reason she left him. Then Kaiser writes that that may still be the case since the day is still young and suggested that the person that keeps popping up in her head as a possible jumpoff ( a word used to describe the other person that a person in a relationship is cheating on their partner with) is Amber Heard.
So Heard is not being presented in the original post as a potential date after Jolie is divorced but as the person she cheated with. How is that better than me saying she is an attention monger?
As for the rest of your pontificating, if you want to think I am a misogynist woman hater because I think Heard is fame thirsty, so be it.
‘Jumpoff’ doesn’t mean someone’s cheating; it means they’ve already got someone lined up before deciding to end the current relationship. It could also mean a casual partner that you don’t plan to get serious with.
It’s a grossly insensitive comment, given what Heard just went through.
I didn’t say anything about her that had anything to do with her divorce. Just that now that her story isn’t the hot topic no one is really paying attention to her. Did everyone forget how many photo ops she’d orchestra long before her divorce?
But Jinni, don’t you think after the beating she took in the press and the comments section of every website except this one that she’s probably happy to be laying low and NOT have the focus on her?
I mean, sure she seemed to enjoy the attention at one time but don’t all actresses?
I don’t know…just seems a bit mean to bust her balls right now.
delete
I do believe that Jennifer is really happy but she and her friends are the last to who should throw stones. She cheated and a lot of her friends (Courtney, Chelsea, Laura Dern, and others) broke up relationships too. It’s baffling that it’s never brought up.
As if Aniston would actually say these things…. A preschooler could make up that story.
Amber won’t date Angie…. She’s using the same lawyer/tactics as Johnny Depp.
Just a reminder, Jen hasn’t actually said a word about this. Maybe we should wait to see if she actually does before championing/criticizing her? I bet she won’t even say anything.
second that. And if at all, it’s going to be a boiler plate : sad story, can’t comment, hope it all will be resolved soon, etc. Jennifer is very press-savvy, she would never put herself into a position where she might appear gleeful – not when kids are involved.
If she’s a smart girl she will keep her mouth shut. If she is mature and has moved on she will keep her mouth shut. And that is the ultimate slap on the face to Brad.
Agreed.
Also, can we talk a little about the word “Karma”? I had to do a lot of reading/discussion around the concept of Karma during my 200 hour yoga teacher training. What if Karma isn’t some boogeyman who’s chasing after you to get you back for your past actions? What if, instead, Karma are the patterns and habits in which we get stuck throughout our lifetime/ many lifetimes that keep us from growing? Just an idea. The 11 Karmic Spaces is a really great book if you’re looking to read more about it.
I hope to god if she does throw shade… she throws it at Brad and not Ang. It’d just be a nice change to the tabloid stories regarding the three of them. Instead of putting them against eachother, a narrative about how “J & A meet for coffee to discuss their hate of their ex” would be a bit more fresh.
That being said – I hope she doesn’t throw any shade, and that if she does make a comment it is something classy like “I don’t want to comment on their situation – divorce is never easy, and I hope they get the privacy they need”.
Here you are with logic and rationality.
Chelsea Handler is probably drooling in excitement about this turn of events. She probably has reams of material she’s been saving for this very day.
YAAS that was one of my first thoughts about this too! Chelsea!
Because of course she would comment!
I highly doubt she would make such a statement when’s she basically been telling people for years that it’s ancient history.
Ok, so that NY Post cover made me laugh out loud!
I doubt she CARES, but I’m sure she had a little moment of schadenfreude. My ex left me for another woman. By the time he’d gotten his ass dumped for another man I was 100% over him, to the point where I regularly forgot I’d even been married to him, but when I heard I still had a little ha ha moment, and then I moved right along with my life.
Personally, I’m quite enjoying the fact that Pitt’s weed and booze habits were always blamed on his ‘boring’ childless life with Aniston, and as it turns out, nope, it’s just him.
thank you. appreciate your comments and agree. Shadenfreude – perfect description. I feel it too, mainly because I felt Jolie played the whole situation at that time.
And so true re: last paragraph. A lot of commenters here have had a field day with that.
Although is it that true, to the point that Jolie brought it into the press and made this so nasty?? I do think some of the way Jolie is going about it (hardcore) is inappropriate and overplayed (remember the Hollywood producer who said AJ was a bitch in the Sony emails.. he did not have that much credibility in the whole realm of that but I could not help wondering about his comment in relation to this); Jolie may have underestimated Pitt.
The NY Post cover is a disgrace. It’s disrespectful to Aniston and the Jolie Pitt kids. Its far from being amusing.
She probably won’t say anything. Every facial expression she makes in the next 6 months is going to be overanalysed.
I really feel bad for her. I’m not a fan, but the scrutiny she’s going to be under is going to be INSANE.
I actually feel the worst for her out of every single person in this situation. Because you are right if she smiles out to lunch there will be twelve stories. If her and Justin aren’t smiling it will be is she hoping for another chance with Brad. God it’s going to be awful.
Every facial expression she’s made in the last 12 years has been over analyzed.
As much as I am not a fan of Aniston or her current husband the-brows-in-skinny-jeans but this is incredible sexist to assume that a woman who was wronged over 10 years ago, who remarried is still so invested and can’ t get past her own feelings and actually see it for what it is – a break up of a family which is not something to be happy about. Now her main bitch Chelsea the-bear-boobs-soaked-in-tequila may be that kind of person.
yes exactly this
Agreed.
Considering that 80% of third marriages end in divorce idk if Jen had to be a fortune teller to know it would end one day
It took me a second to calculate AJ is on a third marriage.
Supposedly a second marriage (BP) is 65 percent likely to end in divorce, and I guess it goes higher for each subsequent union.
And doesn’t being a child of divorce (Jolie) bump the likelihood of their own divorce as well?
Just ran across a claim that children of divorce may be 2-3 times more likely to experience a divorce themselves.
I hope this is BS, because I’m pretty sure Heidi Bivens would say Aniston has some pretty similar karma coming.
Well… so if Justin Theroux dumped her for another woman, would that be karma too?
I hope she won’t comment on the story as…. she might not get out of it smelling of roses…
I hope for her sake she does not say anything. I grew up watching Friends so I am partial to Jennifer, but it would be rich coming from her if she gloats due to the Heidi Bivens issue. Just stage a lovely dovey, Smart water approved Pap walk with Justin and call it a day, Jen!
I feel really sorry for her. She can’t play it cool even if she tried because of the media.
Ugh, this woman.
I will admit that in her shoes I might feel a bit vindicated…but that would be kept between me myself and a bottle of red. She’ll stay above any public comment other than condolences when forced into a situation reqiring a response. Jolie should keep her lawyer muzzled about brad being a bad father. That may come back to bite her on the backside. The kids will read this stuff in the future. Maybe she really is st. Ang and I respect all that she does in the world but this is a relatively new persona and people remember the crazy she once was.
Yes, I agree with all of this.
I agree….JA won’t comment, but, you have to know that, somewhere, deep down inside her, she is having little pangs of joy!!
@Respect
I don’t think “most” people remember Angie’s crazy days. She has been partnered up with Brad for over a decade now and over the years now has INTERNATIONAL fame for being someone who fights for refugees and other war victims.
Of course Jennifer Aniston and *some* tabloid followers might still think of her as crazy Angie but that’s old history to the public at large and to most of the new generation age 26 and under.
I apologize…I must be older than you.
I don’t think Jennifer cares. She has moved on.
Brad IS a dumb-dumb compared to Jolie (and I say that as someone who doesn’t even really like Jolie).
Is that a real NY Post cover? WTF?
My feelings exactly. But it is kind of funny.
Jen is having a BIG KARMA Party.
Are you also invited??
i am;)
…and one day, Karma is going to have a big oldd party for her. Hope you’re there.
I thought the affair rumor was just that. Brad came home and told Jen that he had feelings for AJ and wanted to end things and pursue it. They legally seperated and he flew to Angie. That was said from people from Jen’s camp. This was not some fling of a few months that lead to divorce. More than a decade together and 6 kids. It is shocking and sad.
yep
I don’t think Aniston cares. However the memes are funny.
I wouldn’t blame her for feeling some small satisfaction. Because there are kids involved, it wouldn’t look good to say it. But I think it’s only human, even if she has “moved on.” I say this as a Brangelina true believer.
The whole karma/revenge meme is going to get tiresome quick for me, but until then – funny!
http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/09/celebrate-jen-aniston-in-the-wake-of-brad-pitts-divorce.html
Isn’t there a story that linked Angelina with an English Foreign Affairs Executive or something?
Ugh so stupid they were together twice as long and have a family together. If she’s that petty she’s a hypocrite(*cough Heidi *cough*) and a fool. Hopefully it’s just tabloid BS.
I honestly don’t think she cares. It’s been years.
However, I do think there is a group of people who care and are actually in a state of panic With this news and that is the tabloids. For whatever reason these three people being linked in stories sells magazines and that is ending so for the next couple of months the tabloids are going to push out as many wild and crazy stories as they can. Angie is helping them a lot with her thirsty cryptic drops.
Jen should just leave the country for the next month b/c if she even goes to the gynecologist it’s going to appear that she’s gloating…
I see her more with someone like Anthony Bourdain, who is conveniently getting a divorce. He is smart, rugged, wordly, and adventurous. He is known, but he isn’t Mr Hollywood. Also, he seems very authentic and comfortable with himself.
Bourdain is getting a divorce?!?!
What?
A real fan wouldn’t think she would be happy because a person who would be happy is rather pathetic,IMO.To me it’s ALMOST like a person being happy if someone who wronged them was diagnosed with an illness.Who is happy about someone suffering,especially kids?
Countdown to tabloids running “Are Brad and Jen getting back together?” “Brad and Jen’s secret late night phone calls – Justin is worried!” headlines.
If anything Aniston is probably dreading the resurgence of gossip.
Over a decade later, with Anniston not on social media at all, there are “sources” who know exactly how she feels and what she says.
Sure, Jan.
If SHE hasn’t said anything then nothing has been said! Stop making up ish!
Oh good lord, did Aniston or her agent approve that NY Post cover? Do they even have a clue how tacky this makes her look?
Are you serious? Of course they didn’t.
I’m sure Jen felt a little vindicated, it was a painful time in her life. She has moved on and she’s happy, but I can’t believe she didn’t let out a bit of a giggle or snort when she heard.
I left my ex, no hard feelings at all on my part, he was/is a giant douche and I wanted no part of him. He’s been married 3 times since then and I still laugh when I hear of yet another divorce.
As someone who finds Jen an excruciatingly dull actress and personality, this version of her seems to have kept her in the public eye for almost 15 years.
This has really come full circle. I remember one of the only Brad interviews where he said something like he hated his old life and wanted to do more. While not saying it, he insinuated that Aniston was shallow and vapid, living the Hollywood lifestyle. Now it sounds like AJ is leaving him for the same reason!

I think this is the basis for the Split. She grew up. He didn’t. She want a simple family life, hé wants the hollywood life.
How as Jolie grown up? Look at the way she is handling her divorce. She is rumored to have had alot of mental breakdowns and stupid tantrums in their realtionship. She also was caught with a disques account called TLOL1365 to trash Jennifer. I don’t think she is mature.
And how is she asking for a ‘simple family life’ when she has paraded their ‘family’ through the press all these years?
WTF???
They have been together for 12 years, raising 6 kids. They BOTH wanted children and worked together to build a large family. There is not any public statement on record EVER of Angie saying to her husband’s ex-wife.
Stop it.
First, it’s apparent that people don’t really understand what karma is all about.
Second, I hope this is false and that Jen has long gotten over her divorce from Brad. If not, that’s just sad and pathetic.
Third, for the life of me, I cannot understand the obsession with Brad/Jennifer. It’s not like they were some golden couple that everyone thought was perfect together. In fact, I would say they were an odder match than Pitt/Jolie and I was less surprised by their split.
I mean seriously, the relationship they had together wasn’t even either of their longest relationships. So what is with this obsession? Is it because women feel wronged on behalf of plain jane Aniston because her and Pitt split and he ended up with the more glamorous Jolie?
Meanwhile, I’m like it’s been damn near 15 years. Get over it!
Story time; I didnt start following celebrities till around 2012 and although I was aware that something went down with the three of them, I really didnt care enough. Then I was suddenly exposed to comments like what you typed calling her a plain Jane and much worse. I’ll never forget reading a horrible comment from someone I still see around here, calling her “Maniston”. So it wasn’t enough that she was humiliated years ago, people continued to insult her for daring to exist. And it got even worse. When people tried to speak for her, they were derided as “ugly”. Or bitter over a partner leaving them for a “hotter” woman. Thats why I started to care about this story. The bullying was so disgusting, how could a decent person not care? I think the glee you see online over this breakup is based on people tending to root for the wronged party in any situation. And Jen was wronged many times over in this one. She continues to be wronged, just look at that NYPost cover.
If it’s karma for Brangelina to break up after a dozen years together then Jennifer must have done something *really* terrible for her relationship with Brad to only last a handful of years, right? Because if you believe in bullshit like that, then that’s the natural conclusion you have to draw. Angelina has her beat in that regard so she or her supporters really aren’t doing herself favors by saying things like that.
I don’t believe in karma, only consequences. How you get them is often how you lose them. I found the news of their divorce very saddening, mostly because of the children.
Well then according to you, Aniston and Theroux will be breaking up sometime in the future to vindicate Heidi.
Sounds foolish, doesnt it?
NOW can we please see the pictures from Jen’s wedding to Brad???
I’m gonna (figuratively) up-vote this comment because that’s when Brad was at his peak IMO.
Man he was THE hotness during that time period.
I’m right there with you, Kitten. Would love to eye-ball Brad & Jen at that point in time. They were at the top of their game. It seems to me (in hind-sight) that Jen truly was the private one, as opposed to Angelina, who professed to be.
Aniston still has energy on the situation for sure. If she didn’t care so much, then no one else would either. The fact that part of her is still attached to the situation is causing the public to have energy on it too. The article has contradicting statements. Apparently she said she never wished this for them or on them, but then she said she does feel satisified about it. I think if you’re satisfied with it, then you’re happy about it, and that means she did hope they would break up. Duh. Of course she did.
You do realize that this is a tabloid speculating and making stuff up, right? She hasn’t said a word.
I bet her publicist sent her a text and she immediately got a migraine because it’s the age of Internet and she knows what’s coming. I remember she and John Mayer had compatibility issues when it came to social media and stuff so she’s probably like “oh fuck me” right now.
The Brad being a simple guy comment is so funny-I always bet that was the case. Angie got a fun handsome lap dog husband that would champion her and he didn’t care as long as he could smoke weed and play with the kids and make cool movies. I wonder if Angie ever got bored of him intellectually, she must have at some point.
Agree.
Yeah, I never quite understood it when people here would slam Aniston’s intelligence because I think she and Brad are pretty similar in terms of their smarts. Clearly they’re both business savvy; they’re fun, warm people that others like; but they’re not really very bright. Angelina is intelligent and engaged and I always wondered if she got bored conversing with Brad. That said, she has had a lot of mental health issues etc and she probably isn’t the easiest person to live with either. This is really sad but no one really knows what is going on in a relationship except the people in it.
I hope her jump-off is Amber heard, I’m here for this.
YES ME TOO HAHA
My initial thought is YES!, but maybe I’ll wait to see what the mysterious “incident” was before supporting such a quick rebound for Heard.
Blah. If I were Jen Aniston, I would probably say something vague about karma to my friends. I mean, it doesn’t sound like she actually did but who cares either way? We’re allowed to be uncharitable in our feelings privately so long as we’re gracious in our words and actions publicly. And, damn it, Brad IS a lightweight compared to Angelina Jolie. So are most people. I always thought the thing that broke Brad and Jennifer up was the kids thing. I mean, that’s pretty clear in retrospect. He has 6 kids. She has none. Otherwise, they were a fine couple. But it must have been embarrassing to be dumped for another woman at the time, so even if Jen does have a little smile nowadays, who can blame her?
Then will you please remember to feel for Heidi , Theroux’s 14 year live in as well? She was put out of the house they shared.
So many of you see yourself in Aniston it is a damn shame…
Jen is going to need a another vacation. Sheesh!
I wouldn’t say people are gloating over the break-up of the family, but rather the couple. The kids will be okay if Angie and Brad handle this with as much civility as possible. How well their kids fare during this divorce is dependent upon the parents, not the general public. The Jolie-Pitts need to worry more about what they’re saying to and about each other, not what the world is saying.
It’s already off to a very bad start.
Most people aren’t gloating IMO. Most are just intrigued by the dissolution of a marriage between two Hollywood power players, a marriage that was clearly idealized, put on a pedestal, and portrayed as never-ending,-true-love-forever. The narrative surrounding Brangelina was almost mythical in a Romeo and Juliet type way so naturally, it’s fascinating and unexpected to see it end, much less end the way it seems to be ending, if that makes any sense.
I think it behooves us to exercise sensitivity in the comments because kids are involved, but I also think this weird backlash of shaming anyone who speculates about what is arguably the biggest celebrity break-up of our time—-well, I think that’s all a bit silly. People have an interest because it’s interesting. Painting every single person who rolls out a theory about why they are divorcing as callous or somehow sinister is ridiculous IMO.
I think it’s just shock. I’m not invested in them , but to be together 10 years before marriage and 2 years later, it’s over, is pretty shocking. It seems like a lot of couples who’ve been together a long time fizzle once they tie the knot. I find it very puzzling.
It’s interesting that so many of the gloating comments elsewhere on the internet seem to be of the ‘It’s karma for Angelina!!’ variety.
Like, have they forgotten that Brad was the one who was married? Or was he ‘helplessly in the thrall of a manipulative femme fatale’ or some other bullshit.
He did get such a pass from most people. At least the ones that post on message boards. It was all Jen vs. Ang and he was treated like an innocent bystander. That was so wrong.
THANK YOU! This is exactly how it went down before: The two women pitted against one another and the man getting a free pass.
Jen, derided for not being “hot” enough or deep enough for Brad and for supposedly denying him his babies.
AJ trashed for being a “femme fatale” that stole another woman’s man.
Brad totally skated last time and he seems to be skating this time too.
Amazing how some things never change.
I really want Heard and Jolie to date lol
That cover is horrible, and NYP should be ashamed! I thought it was a generic net meme until I saw they *actually* posted it themselves. Disgusting.
Looks like weddings are the new tattoos.
Yep DM has it, the odious Chelsea Handler saying that no wonder they say Brad is escaping with booze and pot, “because he married an effing lunatic and is stuck in a house with 15 kids who speak 85 languages”
She’s hideous and Jens BFF. Birds of a feather…
This story is complete bs. The “insider” probably never even met her. She moved on a long time ago.
That cover is distasteful which is what the NY Post specializes in. I think like anyone else who has been cheated on there is a momentary sense of glee but I’m sure she recognizes that there are 6 children involved and this is a shitty situation for them. I doubt she would go on the record. Anyone familiar with litigation laws, can she sue over that cover?
I thought the NY Post cover was hilarious. I think they went for sheer humor in that photo. I laughed out loud. Regarding Karma, I believe it. I’ve read six books with references to karma lately, and everyone from Joel Osteen to Abraham Hicks to monks say that “what goes around comes around,” “you reap what you sow,” and “if you intentionally harm someone you will diminish your own experience to the same extent.” Karma is nature’s way of leveling the playing field/balancing things out, and it’s a wake up call to those who are receiving it. However, don’t forget there’s also good Karma.
