Jennifer Aniston Once Said Brad Pitt Is Missing a ‘Sensitivity Chip’ After He Embarrassed Her
Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are good friends these days and have spent a lot of time together in the past year. Still, they didn’t get to that happy place easily. Their history is fraught with romance, hurt feelings, betrayal, and, ultimately, redemption.
Pitt and Aniston were married in the late nineties and although fans around the world loved them together. Pitt would ultimately embark on an alleged affair that would end their marriage and cause them to keep their distance from each other for more than 10 years. His behavior in the days following the split with Aniston would prompt the actress to slam him in an interview that still makes the rounds, even today.
Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were Hollywood’s ‘golden couple’
Pitt and Aniston were just embarking on their careers in the early nineties when they first met. After meeting in 1994, they went their separate ways before reconnecting four years later. This time, they decided to give love a chance and started dating. Only a few months into their relationship, Pitt and Aniston were gracing red carpets all over the world.
Fans couldn’t get enough of the attractive pair, and when they got engaged in November 1999, it became world news. Their Malibu wedding in the summer of 2000 was a super-private affair, but that didn’t dim the public’s love for the “golden couple.”
Over the next five years, Pitt and Aniston remained the darlings of Hollywood, as their stars continued to rise. However, in early 2004, Pitt would get cast in a movie that would change the course of both of their lives.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s devastating affair
Mr. and Mrs. Smith featured Pitt and Angelina Jolie, playing a married couple who find themselves at odds, tussling with their secretive occupations and their undeniable attraction for each other. At the time, Jolie was one of the hottest stars in Hollywood, well-known for her talent and humanitarian work..
Not long after Pitt and Jolie started filming their movie, the affair rumors started. While Pitt was quick to deny the rumors, fans weren’t so sure.
They were even more convinced that something was going on between Pitt and Jolie when the two posed for a steamy magazine photoshoot in which they portrayed a happily married couple, complete with children. Not only did the photoshoot outrage the public, but it also offended Jennifer Aniston.
Jennifer Aniston revealed how Brad Pitt hurt her
In January 2005, Aniston filed for divorce from Pitt. While their separation announcement made no mention of an affair, the public was convinced that their marriage was ending because of Jolie.
Aniston added fuel to the fire with a 2005 interview, where she referenced Pitt and Jolie’s magazine shoot. “There’s a sensitivity chip that’s missing,” Aniston stated, speaking of Pitt. “Is it odd timing. Yeah, but it’s not my life. He makes his choices. He can do — whatever. We’re divorced and you can see why.” When asked directly about the affair rumors, she stated that “I just don’t know what happened. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised by anything, but I would much rather choose to believe him.”
Of course, Pitt and Jolie went public with their romance not long after the divorce filing and went on to build a family together, getting married in 2014. They ended up divorcing in 2016 and underwent a bitter custody battle.
It could have been his divorce from Jolie that helped Pitt to really understand the emotional trauma that he caused Aniston, and the two ended up reconciling. The bitter memories will undoubtedly always be there, but at least the former couple has been able to overcome their past issues and reach a place of understanding.
