ANGELINA Jolie waged “a mean-spirited but effective campaign” against Jennifer Aniston around the time.
That Brad Pitt divorced her to be with Jolie according to author Ian Halperin’s new book The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
In the book, excerpted by Us Weekly magazine, Halpern claims Jolie and her camp (including her manager Geyer Kosinski and brother James Haven) planted press stories in 2005 that painted Aniston in a negative light.
One of the stories was that the former Friends star put her career ahead of starting a family which put her directly at odds with Pitt, who was desperate to become a father.
Jolie, Halperin writes, “was convinced that this is the story that would resonate with all these women who saw her as a man-stealing bitch.”
