An outlet insisted that Reese Witherspoon had a crush on Hollywood star Brad Pitt in the past. It also wrote that her admiration led to a feud with her co-star and friend Jennifer Aniston. 

There was a report last year that Witherspoon was drawn to the Fight Club actor and Jen was allegedly unhappy about it. It was said that the speculation triggered when Witherspoon left a flighty comment after Mindy Kaling posted a photo of the Hollywood hunk on her Instagram page last year. 

Although several other women remarked on the Troy actor’s photo, the magazine purported that Jen was angry that the actress-producer was reportedly attracted to her former husband. 

Witherspoon could not stop chiming in to express her adoration for the Hollywood stud like many other fans. She responded with the words: “Oh dear” and also posted the heart eyes emoji, Pop Culture reports.  

An anonymous source reportedly told the outlet that Jen felt insulted and extremely disrespectful though it could have been “harmless fun.”

The dubious source added the Friends alum suspects that her pal was attracted to Pitt all along. Incidentally, while the former couple is reportedly on a cordial term now, there have been reports of them rekindling their romance. 

The unnamed tipster further stated that Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt will soon make the news of their being together public and only a handful of people knew of this. The sketchy source added that Reese Witherspoon was not in this list of selected few. 

However, this entire story seems to be fabricated as Witherspoon and her spouse Jim Toth is a happily married couple. Also, contrary to what some outlets have suggested, Aniston and Pitt are not back together. 

It is true that the exes are now on cordial terms and could be even good friends. However, their representatives have already mentioned that they do not plan to reunite. 

Plus, Witherspoon has been a close friend of Jen since she portrayed the role of her on-screen sister in the sitcom Friends. It could be also possible that Witherspoon and Pitt are friends because the actor was married to Jen in the past. Yet, it seems a bit far-fetched to assume that the Legally Blonde star had designs on her buddy’s former spouse.

There have been other incorrect stories on Aniston in the past. Just a couple of months ago, a tabloid insisted that Aniston was fighting with her former co-star Lisa Kudrow simply because she was acting with Steve Carrell. 

There is no evidence to establish that Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon are feuding over Brad Pitt just because Witherspoon made a harmless comment on Instagram. Gossip Cop has also determined the story to be completely false.
