Sheryl Crow: Jennifer Aniston dumped Brad Pitt
Sheryl Crow has exploded the myth that Brad Pitt dumped then-wife Jennifer Aniston to romance Angelina Jolie, insisting her pal ditched the movie hunk – and not the other way around.
Despite the widely held belief the pair’s marriage ended in 2005 – after Pitt left Aniston – Crow insists she and Aniston bonded after the former Friends star dumped Pitt and she split from her fiance, cyclist Lance Armstrong.
Crow insists, “For both of us, the perceived idea is that, in our big relationships, we both got dumped. Believe me, this is not true. Neither one of us has ever gotten dumped. No one ever knows what goes on in relationships. Unfortunately, for some people like Jennifer and me, so much is written about things that you don’t say, and so many emotions are attributed to you that you haven’t had.”
Friends have backed up Crow’s claim – one pal telling the National Enquirer, “Once Jen saw the writing on the wall, she dumped Brad. “She took a cold, hard look at her marriage and realized it was irretrievably broken. She and Brad had vastly different personal agendas and feelings about love, career and having a family.”

Then the pity party JA played was all a big joke right, Pretty soon Ashton will jump out and yell Punked?
Instead of playing up “Brad has a sensitivity chip missing” she should have admitted “Jen had a family chip missing and thinks she is a movie star.”
She was then and will always be the biggest loser.

Well said, Amber!

Maybe she dumped his ass BECAUSE he has a sensitivity chip missing and that’s why she didn’t have any kids with him.

I don’t understand why Sheryl’s talking about it now. Maybe Jen is finally ready to move on. I hope she is, because if anything, Brad has changed into a Hollywood cliche, and she’s still Ms. Clean.
Jennifer appears to be a good woman – she doesn’t talk crap (or about herself all the time), and a lot of speculation does not a sad woman make. She’s not gone on any spirals, drugs or men, which is indicative that she’s keeping together. And, she has close female friends. That’s a good sign.

Or maybe she dumped him because he was cheating with Angelina? Seems to be the most likely scenario.

Do we really care about poor Jen not being able to keep Brad around. Who cares who dumped who. GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON

Brad is pretty much a scumbag so good for Jen. I am sure she knew he was cheating and was like thanks but no thanks. Jen is a beautiful woman with a lot to offer, Brad on the other hand thinks he is Gods gift to the world and he has a MAJOR entitlement problem. Him and Angelina are nothing but rich trash, if they were not millionaires they would be on Jerry Springer. The way Brad handled the situation shows his lack of class and concern for others. I doubt Jen is crying over spilled milk, I am sure she is just fine. The one with the problem is always the one who exits a relationship for someone else, tacky and immature.

I happen to agree with her speaking out about the Pittiful! Gwyneth Paltrow also dumped him claiming the boy had filthy hygiene which makes sense look at the trash he is with now.

It’s funny, women love to hate Angelina, and love to pity Jennifer, were as men love Angelina and laugh at Jennifer. Brad is super funny and he and Angelina seem to have a great family going. As for Jennifer, well, no much to say is there?

I agree with Amber & Dude! Well-said on both ends! The reason I believe that Jennifer had the problem moreso than Brad was the fact that she hadn’t spoken to her own mother in 10 years. She didn’t even invite her own mother to her first wedding…. to “Brad Pitt” of all people! I don’t care what her mother said or did- it’s still her mother. Even if I didn’t talk to mine anymore, I would’ve invited her to my wedding. If I could invite strangers, I could invite her. But I guess that’s just me. That struck me as vindictive. Wouldn’t it take alot to “not” talk to your mom for 10 yrs- unless she beat or physically abused you, ect? It was Jen. Brad is not her mother & neither is Courtney Cox. P.S. I also don’t believe Gwyneth dumped Brad either, because I saw her butt crying, too, back then. I like Gwen even more than Angelina… but I think Brad left her, too. Don’t know why.

team aniston!

Confused, you’re true to your namesake. Angelina won’t talk to her father for many years now. So what’s your point?
Amber,Dude, and Blondey, if you were dating Brad and he strayed from you what would you say? I’m sorry but I have no idea what you idiots are talking about as you mention Jen wanting people to pity her. None of the comments she made in Vanity Fair, years ago, ever sounded like she was begging for anyone’s pity. People love her, so just deal with it! Sadly, you may never be that loved, rich, BEAUTIFUL or talented. You sound like a cult.
P.S. Will someone tell me why no one ever seems to blame Brad instead of Jennifer or Angelina? He is the only one who deserves to be Blasted!

Shit happens in relationships. Hope it worked out for everyone involved.
I really think things happen the way that they are supposed to happen.
March 11th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Right on, Jodi. I can understand why people hate so much on Jennifer? I hope it happens to them.

Let’s all put a crown on Sheryl Crows head for she is the “Queen” of can’t keep a man, has no man, can’t get a man, so Jennifer is the next best thing to a man!
Oops, next best thing to..um…yeah….get it in a minute…..OK….whatever!
Nobody hates Jen. We refuse to add to her-self-disappointment!

Are you for real If you check Jennifer is a woman who has taken responsibility for her own life and who she is she invests her time and energy in searching her soul and accepting herself for who she is and is on a personal development journey. By reports of pwople who worked with her and spent time with her she is a genuine kind and loving person who even by Brads omission a sweetheat. When you take a good close look at angelina who has manipulation written all over her there is no comparision. How come the cameras are alwys there when she is doing her charity work and not around when a lot of other stars are doing thier charity work. I do belive as angelina grows she is on her journey or redemption however she unmistakenly comes across as Angelina wants angelina gets. If she is working constantly 16hr days for som many movies plus p[romotiions who really is there for those children??????? any yes I do belive a lot of her charity work is all publicity. Charity begins at home and you give your time to what you love the most. So are the children there only to fill her ego or she there for her children. As for Jen the last thing is she is desperate she is a woman who is comfortable within herself threoughher life experences and does not need to take just any guy to. Last time I checked there are millions of single people out there by chioce and are happy. I belive is is a loving happy person who has class dignity and respect for herself and is not afraid to live and learn from her life expereinces a lot more than may of the people who rite the trashy comments
