Jennifer Aniston made a rare reference to the aftermath of her relationship with ex-husband Brad Pitt — which included his new love Angelina Jolie.

In a Monday, August 11, profile with Vanity Fair, Aniston, 56, referred to that era of her headline-making life “the love triangle.” Aniston noted that her approach to pushing through that time was to “just pick yourself up by the bootstraps and keep on walking, girl.”

“It was such juicy reading for people. If they didn’t have their soap operas, they had their tabloids,” Aniston said, before adding of the media madness, “It’s a shame that it had to happen, but it happened. And boy did I take it personally.”

“They were sort of building us up and then tearing you down,” she continued, comparing herself to a piñata.
