14 DAY TRIAL // Courteney Cox and David Arquette announced they were separating after 11 years together. Not only is their marriage falling apart, but also Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s relationship because of it.
For those not in the know Courteney Cox is Jennifer Aniston’s best friend. Jen was married to Brad Pitt and got divorced shortly after he met and reportedly started romancing Angelina.
According to the National Enquirer (story via here), Jolie is so jealous she won’t have Brad speak even to friends of Aniston’s. Clearly, she’s convinced he’s trying to get back with Jen.
The tab writes – citing the ever-present and never-named reliable sources – that, after Cox and Arquette announced their separation, Brad called Courteney to have a word with her and see if there was anything he could do for her.
Courteney is not only Jennifer’s friend, she’s also Brad’s, so it’s only natural to call her to see how she was doing. Angelina, it seems, did not really see things that way – and totally flipped out when she heard about it.
“Angie flew into a rage when Brad admitted he called Courteney – and she accused him of using the Arquette split to reach out to Jen,” an insider reveals.
“Angie said she wouldn’t be surprised if Jen was sitting right next to Courteney when he called!” the tipster adds. Brad’s mistake wasn’t calling Courteney but rather telling Angelina about it.
“When Brad heard that Courteney and David had split up, he thought is was natural to reach out. He called Courteney and told her, ‘I’ve been there. I know the pain you’re feeling’,” says the same source.
“He said all the things you say to an old friend who’s going through a breakup. But his mistake was bringing it up to Angie,” the spy explains.
When he saw how Angelina (over)reacted, Brad tried to reason with her. As shocked as he was by the accusations made about him, he tried to convince her that he was only being a good friend to Cox.
“But Angelina can’t bear the thought of Brad having any communication at all with Jen – even if it was just to console her best friend over a marital split,” the tipster dishes.
“Angelina is convinced that Courteney has been bad-mouthing her for years in an attempt to protect Jen’s reputation. It’s all very high school, but when it comes to her rivalry with Jennifer, there’s no getting through to Angie,” the same source adds.
