Waiting For Jennifer Aniston To Gloat About ‘Brangelina’ Split? It’s Likely Not Going To Happen
It seems that with all the drama and media coverage about Angelina Jolie announcing she is filing for divorce from Hollywood leading man Brad Pitt, there is just as much attention being given to Pitt’s ex, Jennifer Aniston, mainly focusing on how she is reacting to the news and as to whether she’s delighted by the split of the former A-list couple. Although it was a heartbreaking situation a decade ago when Pitt left Jen for Angelina, it is clear that the Friends star has moved on from the drama and found happiness in her marriage to Justin Theroux.

The rumor mill churned for months about a looming divorce between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and even after the two seemingly enjoyed a celebration for their anniversary, the tales were still reported. Although it was a shock to find out that the troubles were true between the pair, when recalling how Brad and Angelina became involved, many would say “karma will get you.” Is Jen truly ready to state these words? Hardly, although she may be inwardly thinking them. It is in the beauty’s best interest to remain mum on the subject, especially after she appealed to the tabloids and media to leave her out of the spotlight and to quit creating falsities about her and her relationship. Jen has pleaded for privacy and always made it known that social media, where other celebrities share personal details about their life, is just not for her. So what sense would it make for Aniston to draw the media attention she asked to be free of by making a comment about Brad and Angelina’s divorce? The Cake star has good sense and will likely let this story pass.
As the Washington Post questions, what is the reason that the divorce of “Brangelina” would be of importance to Jennifer Aniston?
“The circumstances of their split — which happened 11 years ago, more than double the length the marriage lasted — have apparently caused Aniston to be forever linked to Pitt and Angelina Jolie. There was intense speculation that Pitt and Jolie began their romance in 2004 on the set ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith,’ while he was still a married man.”
In additional reminders, the publication also noted words from Jen back in 2005 about the split between she and Pitt, which she stated was no one’s fault.
“If the world only could just stop with the stupid, soap-opera bulls—. There’s no story. I mean, at this point it’s starting to become — please, give more credit to these human beings.”
If Jen had that attitude then, it is unlikely that she’s ready to gloat about love lost between Brad’s romance of 12 years with Angelina. It’s clear that tabloids are keen to see Aniston ever in the headlines. The star pleaded to be left out of the pregnancy headlines and those seemed to have dried up, yet the gossip mags are incessant about making Jen a constant regardless of the subject. Even divorce rumors regarding she and Theroux have come on the wings of the Brad and Angelina fall out.

Jennifer Aniston has made it clear that she stands for more than relationships and body image in her essay penned for the Huffington Post. The star highlighted her frustrations about how the media chooses to present her and female figures on the whole. Judging from her words, she likely is not ready to gloat over the split because she does not think a relationship determines any individual’s happiness.
“We are complete with or without a mate, with or without a child. We get to decide for ourselves what is beautiful when it comes to our bodies. That decision is ours and ours alone. Let’s make that decision for ourselves and for the young women in this world who look to us as examples. Let’s make that decision consciously, outside of the tabloid noise. We don’t need to be married or mothers to be complete.”
