Chelsea Handler was downright gleeful when Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt. On her Netflix show, Chelsea theorized that Brad and Angelina split because Brad was “self-medicating” because “he could have been spending the last 12 years at Lake Como hanging out with George Clooney and Matt Damon, instead of being stuck in a house with 85 kids speaking 15 different languages. Oh yeah, because he married a f–king lunatic, that’s why.” Considering her long history of talking sh-t about Angelina combined with her long history of cozying up to Jennifer Aniston, it seemed like Chelsea was super-eager to declare “victory” on behalf of Aniston.
Well, maybe someone said something to Chelsea? Or maybe… I don’t even know anymore. Aniston’s defenders claim these days that Handler and Aniston don’t even hang out anymore, but I don’t really have any evidence of that. In any case, Handler was asked about her friend Jennifer during an interview with Grazia. And even though Chelsea was gleeful and racist on her friend’s behalf a month ago, that doesn’t mean that Chelsea thinks Jennifer cares one way or the other.
Jennifer Aniston’s best friend Chelsea Handler has declared the actress “doesn’t care” about Brad Pitt’s split from Angelina Jolie. The TV host reveals her pal, who was married to Brad for five years, has no interest in the breakdown of her ex-husband’s relationship.
She has told Grazia magazine that “it is stupid and pathetic” to speculate about Jen‘s feelings about the divorce. Chelsea added: “As if Jen cares – she doesn’t care. It’s ridiculous that people still drag her into this. Hello! As if she is sitting around even caring about this.”
It might be true that Jennifer doesn’t give a sh-t. It might be true that Jennifer isn’t sitting around obsessing about Brangelina. But it’s too cute by half for Chelsea to act like it’s somehow off-side or odd for people to ask about Aniston, right? Especially given her enthusiastic attack-dogging on Aniston’s behalf over the years. It’s especially weird for Handler to suddenly declare that it’s “stupid and pathetic” to wonder about all of this considering Handler has acted for years as the MC of the “Angelina Is a C-Word And Jennifer Is A Saint” party.

Doesn’t Chelsea drag jenn into it by bringing it up all the time? Whatever. I hate Chelsea handler but she’s probably right that Jennifer doesn’t care anymore.
This woman is beyond pathetic.
Chelsea Handler must’ve borrowed Parker Posey’s face for the first photo!
I think everyone knows that Jennifer Aniston doesn’t care. It’s pretty obvious that Chelsea does though! This woman is so obsessed with Angelina to the point that it’s creepily pathetic. Doesn’t she have her own life to handle?
I agree. I get why Chelsea talks about Angelina (it gets her attention) but I do think she goes too far and is kind of obsessed. And it really doesn’t benefit Jennifer.
I also don’t get being so happy that Brad & Angelina split. I never really cared for them as a couple, but other than initial shock and sadness for the kids, I’m not really bothered one way or another.
This chick does Jennifer no favors by trying to be her voice. The election has quieted down the breakup which I’m sure the soon to be exes appreciate.
No one is talking about Jennifer Aniston regarding the split. So her friends should stop bringing her name up in the conversation. Especially after all these years.
You know what’s stupid and pathetic? Chelsea Handler. She’s literally, psychotically obsessed with Angelina Jolie. She needs a hug and a prayer and some treatment for those anger issues.
This racist women is best friends with Charlize Theron and Sandra Bullock, who are both raising Black kids.
I side eye this whole situation.
I side eyed them as well. But interestingly I don’t see her with any of those people as much. Especially since she is doesn’t have that E show. Have any of these BFFs been on that new show of hers. I don’t think so. Now why is that
I really don’t believe that they’re best friends or good friends at all! Just because they hang out a few years ago for maybe one or 2 times doesn’t mean they are good friends. I think this was also a part of fame work for chelseas tv show to make her more likeable. Sandra and charlieze are moms, dont think they have the desire to hang out with an idiot like chealse. Well and dont forget they all have the sam pr agency. This is all work. Many people from this industry say, you dont have friends in other stars.
Chelsea Handler is one of those people that clearly was hooked up with “friends” by her representation. I’d be interested to hear who she’s actually, legitimately friends with – last time we saw pics of Handler and Bullock, it was because Bullock staged photos of her new boyfriend in exchange for outlets holding back pics of her then-not-yet-adopted daughter, so I side eye Handler’s inclusion.
Wait, how or why is she racist?
Handler needs to keep her mouth shut. She is not funny and always using Aniston or Jolie Pitts to gain attention. Her last racist remarks about the Jolie Pitts is the last straw. She needs to jut go away. Aniston would be better off without friends like her.
I think Aniston keeps Handler around because she makes her feel prettier.
@Neelyo
Funny, I was thinking the exact opposite.. Not that either one are beauties..but somewhat surprisingly in their photo up top, Handler looks a tad more attractive about the face than Aniston. Which kinda puts an exclamation point on just how ordinary Aniston has to be for that to even happen.
Just goes to show you how much smoke & mirrors and a hella good longtime power publicist Aniston has, that he’s cultivated her image.
Again, I need to point out Aniston’s longtime agent, became Handler’s agent in 2008- which is how their ‘friendship’ started. No coincidence she started going viciously ham on Jolie and spending Thanskgiving with Aniston and her agent after only having known her a month.
I think it would be fair to give Jennifer the benefit of the doubt. It’s SO sexist the way the media has treated her–as if she’s some barren, lonely woman who can’t keep a man all because pretty boy Pitt left her for Angelina Jolie. That has been going on for years now. I mean, she’s remarried and they’re still acting like she can’t get over Brad. It’s gross and sexist as hell.
@Anilehcim
When I read posts like this I feel I need to clarify, with a few facts.
I’ve been around a while and remember the start of Brangelina and the end of Pitt’s relationship/marriage to Aniston.
1) When Jolie and Pitt got together they said nothing for more than a year about how they started and got together. It was radio silence. They were breathlessly covered, they had films they did and promoted, but they didn’t speak of themselves and how they came to be.
2) The year they split, Aniston had the floor all to herself and she used it thoroughly…as Brad and Angie weren’t talking about themselves or doing interviews. Aniston cried in Vanity Fair about Brad leaving, cried over the babies she wondered if he might have with Angelina, and the kids she swore she would have with whoever else. She talked about where she would be 5 years hence(married and with kids she insisted, as being coupled up was part of who she was. yes she said this).
*(Which is why each and every date and relationship became ‘her savior’ from lonelyville in the rags and mags – she gave them a heads up afterall) She played the martyr and scorned woman on Oprah 2-3x (crying and drinking champagne) and in GQ. It was clear she was jockeying for position in the ‘Please Love Me and Hate Them’ Games. The tabloids thanked her for that gift on a silver platter by making bank on ‘the poor pitiful scorned woman who’s obsessed with her ex’ narrative that she herself started.
Unsurprisingly, this is the same narrative that still plays today.
3) Around 2008-2009 she dropped her ‘I hate Brad stance and won’t ever mention his name but will infer about him all the time’ tactic, and started a cat fight with Angelina phase that has lasted to this day. On shows like Oprah she inferred she and Brad weren’t distant but exchanged niceties, that she loved, respected and was proud of him, while dropping mags with ‘Angelina is so uncool’ cover stories. Sniping at her in various publications where before she had been silent. Aniston’s publicist signed Handler that year, who continued the one sided catfight, except on steroids. Coincidence? Nah. It was a way for Jen to keep the triangle going – and since she dropped Brad as enemy#1 she needed to keep one person as a boogeyman – cat fights sell better in the rags. Women don’t care about men as a topic. Brad doesn’t even have his own agency in the rags. Besides, she made it a point to take him off the table as the source of her angst. Angelina was the new target, and her agent made sure the people knew Jen and her friend hated her.
Which extended the cat fight to this day, and provides room for both Handler and Aniston on their coattails. Handler attacks Jolie and she gets tens of thousands of hits and mentions as does Aniston by extension.
This is not coincidental. It’s a planned strategy by a publicist who has long worked this angle to maintain the profile of his client(s).
@Almondmilk
Well someone has to try to fight Angie in the ‘battle’ don’t they?! Always trying to out maneuver. Exhausting! I will always remember the line, ‘he is missing a sensitivity chip’. Do you think this rings true now as well? I am just not sure.
@almondmilk your analysis is spot-on.
I always think of that 2005-ish Vanity Fair cover she did with various coy topless and bottomless poses and the cover tagline about wanting children: “I did and I do and I will!” Complete with her sobbing to her profiler and her friends talking about how Brad did her wrong and about how if he had a baby with Angelina it would be “beyond hurtful.”
Without the publicist strategy keeping her profile high she would be about as relevant in the entertainment world these days as Courteney Cox which is to say, not very
I agree. She’s a professional divorcee and I hope that she disappears after Brangelina is over.
You care about this way too much.
@Callie, some people just have a good memory and have been alive for more than ten years.
All of that, I remember.
Brad and Angelina did not even kiss in the mouth for month and months. they hardly even held hands. Trying somewhat to keep a low profile for the next year after they got together. Nothing in interviews. Nada.
Angelina was and still is called whatever bad names you can think of, while others, like Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz happily did even worse, hey, Aniston and Dern did too, and there wasn’t such a backlash.
@ Callie
I totally agree with you.
I don’t remember what Brange did in response to JA’s stories but didn’t Angelina leak all those she-wouldn’t-give-him-kids stories in the press? These two also had photoshoots with their newly adopted kids on remote beaches (Zahara’s adoption) where no pap could ever get to to play up the humanitarian angle. I believe neither party are free from criticism and actually can’t blame them for it – it’s their profession to do PR. But I think Angelina’s the more manufactured one while Jen Aniston seems to be more genuine and open.
No one had to leak those stories, that was the primary speculation for their breakup the moment Pitt and Aniston announced their divorce. No big shock there, considering that Pitt had spent years talking bout how much he wanted to get married and start a family, the latter of which wasn’t happening with Aniston.
@Greentea – as I recall, while Brad was still married to Jennifer, he was blubbering on TV about how he wanted children (an interview with Barbara Walters, maybe?). Anyway, it made the gossip rounds at the time, and when they eventually divorced some time later, a lot of people latched onto that “wanting a family” as a contributing factor towards the divorce. The fact that Angie was soon pregnant with Brad’s baby definitely bolstered that narrative in a lot of people’s minds. But I have never seen any credible evidence anywhere that Angie somehow manufactured the “Jen won’t give him babies” story line. It was simply an assumption that most people made, based on what Brad and Jen had said in their own interviews, and the fact that Brad then hooked up with someone who instantly gave him a family.
Of course she cares Dear Chelsea and so do you because you don’t talk in another thing. Guess what. Brad Pitt is free now. Probably you have a good chance with him because seeing things now you would be perfect for him.
Chelsea Handler makes me like Jennifer Aniston so much less.
I used to watch Chelsea’s E show- when she was trying to be funny and not just being mean spirited and racist to her own co-workers appearing on her panel.
She seems to have settled into that lazily racist shock value “comedy”.
It’s too bad.
If this was just a year or two after jenn’s divorce I might believe she cared a little. But if I had to bet, now, I would say she is over it and really isn’t concerned about what Brad is doing. I think it is silly to believe otherwise.
@Lalu
That’s a nice thought. But signs have long pointed to Aniston being the type to carry a grudge, and I mean a serious to the death grudge.
She did that with her Mom.
Her Mom was so certain she would always be on Aniston’s SOL list, that she wrote a book explaining her side of things re the silly trivial reason Aniston supposedly cut her off (her Mom’s appearance on an infotainment news program talking about her kids charity and showing Aniston’s childhood & highschool pics).
The book was a last resort. Her Mom knew she was toast with Aniston, because before the book – Aniston hadn’t invited her to her wedding (she never met Aniston’s then husband Pitt) and stopped talking to her.
My point is that, anyone who thinks Aniston ‘doesnt care,’ hasn’t read background.
Brad hurt her (her ego and image) way more than her Mom. She will always root for his unhappiness.
It’s a popular refrain from her fans to paint her as all c’est la vie..or give her a laissez-faire attitude because they have an image they desperately want for her – it’s the opposite of her Vanity Fair piece or the tabloid narratives..they want her to be this powerful, unaffected independent woman who doesn’t/didn’t need children or a man who dismisses tabloids and gossip they say otherwise.
Except that’s not Aniston, that’s Cameron Diaz. Lol or Sandra Bullock or even Handler.
It’s never been Aniston.
There was an interesting interview a director of one of Brad’s films gave back in the day. director Innaritu said: ‘Brad was sorry to hurt Jennifer but he couldn’t keep promise to not be with Angelina she made him crazy in love’ Mind you this was post their amicable split and Aniston had known for a while that Brad was ‘enchanted’ with Angelina. This comment led me to believe that either Aniston asked him to wait a significant amount of time or, asked him not to date Angelina. Period. Because of the way it made her look.
He didn’t, and that’s her real reason for upset. Not any cheating. Which she’s already said didn’t happen.
She didn’t like how it made her look.
She’s all about image. All cover no book.
Aniston has been dragging this for many years, I don’t know why she would stop caring now.
I think her mum’s a different story. I read something about her telling her to put on her face in the morning (make up) and being an abusive person overall.
I don’t believe for a minute Jenn, Chelsea, and Courtney didn’t throw a wine & spa day over the deserve-it demise of the He & She Devil’s marriage breaking up, but they’re/she’s not going to tell anyone else about it.
Has anyone seen the new commercial Jennifer is in for Emirates Air? Basically, she befriends a young boy on the flight, gives her seat in super-duper Emirates Air quadruple platinum plus class to the Mom and takes the Mom’s seat in hoi polloi class (because she’s just like them, and she wanted to give the Mom a break from her kids, and now she can play video games with the boy, because, she’s all about the kids). ACTING!!!!!
LOL. This woman… One word. Chutzpah!
How are Jen and this woman even friends? Jen doesn’t seem the vicious type while Chelsea is. Why does she hate Angelina with such passion? So much that she’s shamelessly talking about Angelina’s kids like that? IS she a trump supporter?
So many questions…
i think Chelsea the loud mouth cares about it too much. She can’t seem to stop talking about it.
Chelsea and the rest of the bunch that hates on Angelina remind me of high school days when the pretty girl didnt give a damn about what you said and thought about her. then one day the captain of the football team (Brad Pitt) started talking to this pretty dark and weirded girl (Angelina Jolie) stopped dating the head cheerleader(Jennifer Aniston) and all the mean girlfriends(Chelsea and the minivan crew) have been upset and talking about this for 14 years.
@Wyatt
Lol. I though the same thing. The hot high school qaurterback dumped the popular cheerleader for the emo/goth chick and the cheerleaders friends are angry!
I tried watching Chelseas show on Netflix but she is not funny. Her comments about Angelina and her kids are repulsive.
Oh, thank goodness JA doesn’t care about it – because nobody was talking about it this week and the talk might have just died away if JA’s surrogate didn’t revive it – because that’s what people who don’t care do, right?
Jesus – their relationship is so vominous. She is like the bonafide peon/trashy mouthpiece for Ms. Little Perfect because Aniston herself just cannot and WILL NOT deal with the dirt herself! She needs some gutter trash to handle the sewage matter, and that is conveniently this social climbing imbecile.
This is borderline incestual. How gross can Aniston get by feeding this trainwreck and unleashing her to do her lowly wretched bidding? And for nearly a decade now btw!
…tell me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are………….
My goodness…
@Lisa
This.
All day. +1
Disclosure: I am now & forever Camp Jolie. I’ve adored her since Gia. With that said are Anniston & Handler still friends? I ask because she was absent from Anniston’s wedding & the honeymoon which included many friends (Cox, Bateman & the usual travel companions) she hasn’t been on the new show & I haven’t seen them together in over a year. Handler always brings up the friendship ad nauseam & radio silence from the other side. Seems odd. It’s as if Handler is the crazy stalker that talks constantly about the BFF who has filed a restraining order.
Handler went to the wedding but not the honeymoon trip. I’ve wondered the same myself – especially since it was clear that Handler didn’t get along with some of Aniston’s longtime friends. When Aniston and Courtney Cox seemingly mended their friendship, it looked like Handler started being pushed back into the background.
“It’s as if Handler is the crazy stalker that talks constantly about the BFF who has filed a restraining order.”
So true. Lol
If you’ve ever been the Ex, as many of us have, and the break up was messy, trust me, no matter how long ago, no matter how far away they are now; when you hear about that person getting done the way they did you, you do a little fist pump. Talk about karma.
This! If we are being completely honest with ourselves.. If it involved being blindsided by your spouse’s wandering dick especially so.
@jeanette
I know people hate them for being beautiful and getting together, etc. – but continuing the fake outrage 12 years later is beyond unnerving.
There are 3 people here, and all 3 have always said no cheating happened. There was no affair. So alas, there was no ‘spousal wandering dick.’
Maybe you’re getting your Jennifers mixed up, and thinking of Ben the Nanny f’er.
Again, a refresher for those late to this stale 12 year old party. Brad and Jen had an amicable split releasing a lovely official press release of their separation in Jan of 2005. No third party involvement caused their break up, they part as friends with deep love blah blah blah.
We know from Aniston’s own Vanity Fair tell-all, that BEFORE their official press release, while unofficially separated – Brad had told her about his feelings for an unbeknownst Angelina. He was honest with Aniston, in the midst of their break up that was already happening.
So, not only do you have all three parties saying no infidelities happened. You also have a woman who was separated from her husband, who was told by him that he had feelings for another woman (who was unaware). Months later they officially separate. They release a statement together that said no one else caused our breakup, we’re fine and wish each other the best.
So who was “blind-sided?”
It’s a ridiculous farce to make up fake fantasy details about their split, that only exist to provide some still inexplicably butter resentful women with a reason to continue this 12 year long one sided cat fight and grudge match.
@almondmilk Don’t care much for any of the parties involved but their bodyguard on Mr and Mrs Smith, Mark Behar, recently came out and said they were definitely snogging at least (“making out”) on the set and passing lewd notes to each other on set like randy highschool kids. Don’t think he’d risk getting sued by going on record about this if it weren’t true.
“JEN DOESN’T CARE SO MUCH SHE’S HIRE A SKY-WRITER TO WRITE ‘JEN DOESN’T CARE’ IN THE SKY SEE HOW MUCH SHE DOESN’T CARE”
Go away Chelsea.
I’ve identified the emotion I feel whenever I see Chelsea Handler: Loathing.
The only people talking about jennifer aniston? Are jennifer aniston’s friends. Recently courteney cox, now chelsea. The media spoke about her for first few days of split, but that was a month ago. Chelsea must need attention for low ratings?
FFS who cares what this despicable hag thinks about anything, and why is she dragging Aniston into this now? She’s only making people think Aniston DOES care.
What will Chelsea Handler do when people don’t need her as a professional fun friend?
She’s like the Kanye to her Beyonce (Aniston).
*I made one comment as if I live with them
Oops she’s been misquoted again.
Mrs. Jolie-Pitt’s REPORTED response to U peasants,
“Get off my balls, I’ve had enough”. LOL!
Chelsea is a low-rated “comedian” has been. The ONLY reason Jennifer has an “acting career”, is because she was married to Brad Pitt. The silly man that she’s married to now, left his fourteen-year relationship with another woman to be with Jen, because Jen has more money.
Jennifer Aniston was on “Friends” for awhile before she started dating Brad Pitt-yes, being with him really raised her profile but she was on a hit show long before she started dating him.
Doesn’t Chelsea’s Angelina obsession pre-date her friendship with Jen? I think she used to hate on both of them but once she became friends with Jen she stopped mocking/attacking her.
