Confronted by a man, these two actresses star in one of the most mythical feuds of 21st century Hollywood.

The two actresses have never tried to hide their animosity and have even demanded exhaustive planning on red carpets and events so as not to meet face to face despite being in the same place.
Without a doubt, there is a clear reason why these two iconic actresses clashed, a reason that has its own name: Brad Pitt. He is the main vertex of this kind of love triangle in which, currently, there is everything but love.

The relationship between Angelina and Jennifer
As the Pitt-Jolie family grew, Jennifer Aniston continued with her life focusing on her series and movies, although the press only seemed to care about her opinion about Brad Pitt and his new family. For years, the actress who played Rachel in the mythical 'Friends' has had to answer over and over again questions about her breakup with the actor, rumors about infidelity and much more. She has always been clear and without any kind of rancor, assuring that she "wished him the best" and that "no one had done anything wrong". In 2015, she even asked "people to stop this kind of TV series that is believed to exist", referring to the remnants of her history with Brad Pitt.

Months later, the supposed "challenges" that Brad Pitt had to achieve as part of his therapy to combat his addiction to alcohol came to light, including reconciliation with his ex. In this way, a supposed meeting between the actor and Jennifer Aniston transcended in which he would have apologized for having acted badly in her divorce. However, her first divorce was much more "comfortable" and peaceful than the current one that, when more than a year has passed since the breakup, has not yet been resolved due to not having reached an agreement on the custody of Angelina's children. Jolie and Brad Pitt.
The expected reunion
After years without coinciding on any red carpet, according to some sources due to the strategies of the two actresses to avoid this meeting, alerts were raised when the list of attendees for the 2018 Golden Globes ceremony was published. Both Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie would present an award at this ceremony allowing the two to meet face to face. Nothing could be further from the truth.
It is true that both had to see their "enemy" deliver the aforementioned statuette but, apparently, there was no close encounter. All eyes were on the two of them who could have coincided on the red carpet, if it were not for Jennifer Aniston refused to go through it and went directly to the auditorium that hosted the awards without posing for the press. However, during Aniston's award ceremony, the camera was able to capture Angelina Jolie's reaction to her partner's speech. While the entire audience was watching Aniston carefully, the "Maleficent" star wanted to take advantage of the moment to touch up her makeup, feeding the comments about her bad relationship. Will we continue to have new chapters of this enmity or will 2018 be the year in which they will really put the "end point" that has been talked about so much?
