Jennifer Aniston has spoken out about her highly publicized divorce from Brad Pitt, calling it “vulnerable” and admitting she still struggles with the media frenzy surrounding their split. The actress gave a rare interview to Vanity Fair in 2005, just days after announcing her separation from Pitt.
Aniston described the experience as “jarring” and acknowledged that she was not prepared for the intense scrutiny of the media at the time. She said her approach to dealing with the scandal was to “pick myself up by the bootstraps and keep on walking,” but admitted that it took a toll on her mental health.
The actress recalled how the media made a spectacle out of her, Pitt, and Angelina Jolie’s relationship, calling it “juicy reading for people.” Aniston said she didn’t have a strong enough constitution to ignore all the speculation about her relationship at the time. She emphasized that humans are vulnerable to pain and hurt, just like anyone else.
Aniston and Pitt were married from 2000 to 2005 and met in 1998 on a blind date set up by their agents. The split sparked rumors of infidelity on Pitt’s end, but Aniston has maintained a close friendship with the actor despite their very public separation.
In recent years, Aniston has moved on with Justin Theroux and has been spotted attending Pitt’s events, including his 61st birthday party in 2019. A source close to Pitt recently confirmed that he is “pleased” about Aniston finding love again, saying that she was always meant to find happiness.
