Jolie Hits Back at Break-Up Rumors

Angelina Jolie has blasted reports she destroyed Brad Pitt and
Jennifer Aniston's marriage--insisting she was merely a "shoulder
to cry on" for the hunky actor.
Since Pitt and Aniston announced the end of their union on January
7, Jolie has been the focus of gossips who claim she had an affair
with the screen heartthrob on the set of their movie Mr. and Mrs.
Smith (view Mr. and Mrs. Smith trailer), which ultimately ended his
marriage.
But while 29-year-old Jolie admits she formed a close friendship
with Pitt working on the movie last year, she's rubbished
speculation their bond developed into romance.
Instead, she hints their marriage was ruined by the non-existence
of children in their household.
Jolie says, "I've been painted as the Wicked Witch of the West and
a marriage wrecker. But all I've ever been to Brad is a shoulder to
cry on.
"Half the world believes we had an affair and I'm the one to blame
for his split. But the truth is I was there to try to help him
through his pain.
"He longs to be a father and he's been in emotional turmoil for a
long time because that hasn't happened for him."
