Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Divorce And Abuse Allegations: Celebrities Take Sides As Melissa Etheridge Defends Brad

"It breaks my heart that anyone would take something as personal as your marriage, your relationship and your rights to your children and do it as purposefully as I see it being done, because there's a way to be."

"I've gone through family courts. I've been twice around this block, and I know it really well, and I know when there's some forethought to just how mean and just how you're going to put disinformation out there first."

Melissa was there, and makes no bones about how Angelina wasn't "nice" to Billy Bob and Laura. Etheridge was also around when Jolie got between Brad and Jennifer Aniston.

"I was around when Angelina was not doing nice things with Billy Bob to Laura Dern… I went through that on a personal level, and then to know the side of Jennifer [Aniston] and Brad…

"I helped Laura move out of her house with Billy Bob – I like, broke into their home to get their stuff out because it was so nasty."

When Angelina accused Brad of child abuse, that was the final straw for Etheridge and for many of Brad's celebrity friends.

"Nobody does that. You don't do that."

"I really hope he reaches back out because there are a lot of us who haven't seen him in ten years."
