Jennifer Aniston was asked to comment on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s relationship after she and the “Ad Astra” star divorced.

While speaking with Vanity Fair, the “Friends” star gave a heartbreaking response to the question. Aniston said that she isn’t defined by her marriage to Pitt, and she also doesn’t want to add toxicity to the already very complicated situation.

Aniston also said that she doesn’t want to be a part of a love triangle between her, Pitt, and Jolie because she would prefer if everyone just moves on from the issue.

“The Morning Show” star also acknowledged the fact that she grew up seeing how angry her mom was after she and Aniston’s dad divorced. And the actress refused to follow in her footsteps.

“It’s maddening to me. But I had a mom who was very angry about her divorce and made shots, and I don’t want to play that out. If people are frustrated that I don’t want to do that, I’m sorry. I’m figuring this out as I go along. This is my first time at this particular picnic,” she said.

Meanwhile, Aniston made headlines this week amid rumors that she’s bragging about her relationship with Pitt and how they are in a much better place at the moment.

Radar Online claimed that the “Friends” star is taking all of the credit for her ex-husband’s happiness and the fact that Pitt is finally away from Angelina Jolie’s miserable clutches.

An insider also told the tabloid that it was Aniston who encouraged Pitt to end her marriage to Jolie years ago.

“Brad’s opened up a lot about his dark days with Angie. And Jen has been quietly sharing those horror stories among friends, whilst using them as a means to drag Angie’s name through the dirt,” the source said.

The source went as far as saying that Aniston made it known to Jolie that at the end of the day, she won because she has Pitt in her life and she also got most of Hollywood on her side.

However, it is best to take the claims of the tabloid with a grain of salt. After all, Aniston’s previous statement to Vanity Fair confirmed that she didn’t want to be involved in any controversy alongside Pitt and Jolie.
