When Jennifer Aniston's marriage to Brad Pitt crumbled in 2005 amid his infatuation with Angelina Jolie, the Friends star maintained a dignified silence.
But her graciousness could only go so far, and her desire to take the upper hand was tested when Angelina made a series of eye-opening revelations about her budding romance with Brad.
Jennifer had initially believed her husband when he ended their marriage and insisted it had nothing to do with anyone else, least of all Angelina, who he'd just finished filming Mr and Mrs Smith with.
But Angelina hinted otherwise, gushing in 2007 about how they'd fallen head-over-heels for each other on set.
“Brad was a huge surprise to me... I think a few months in I realised, God, I can’t wait to get to work," she said.
Describing Jennifer as his "best friend", Angelina, 43, outright declared that she and Brad had fallen head-over-heels in love on set.
"Whether it was shooting a scene or arguing about a scene or gun practice or dance class or doing stunts - anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it," she said.
"We just became kind of a pair. And it took until, really, the end of the shoot for us, I think, to realise that it might mean something more than we’d earlier allowed ourselves to believe. And both knowing that the reality of that was a big thing, something that was going to take a lot of serious consideration.”
Around the same time, Angelina offered Jennifer a "sit-down talk", and her comments proved to be a turning point for the star.
In a 2008 interview, Jen asked the reporter to turn off their tape recorder so she could finally share her real thoughts.
She also joked about a cartoon in The New York Times which showed Jen loading a shotgun as she talks on the phone to Angelina while a bubble over her head reads, "Hi Angelina... I decided to take you up on your offer of a 'sit-down talk'."
"[It was] the funniest thing I've ever seen," she told Vogue, revealing it prompted her to read Angelina's interview.
And she did not like what she read.
"There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening," Jennifer continued.
"I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss.
"That stuff about how she couldn't wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool."
