Jolie skips fundraiser to spare Aniston's feelings

Washington (ANI): Angelina Jolie purposely cancelled an appearance at a pre-Oscars fundraiser co-hosted by Brad Pitt's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston last month, because she didn't want to hurt the feelings of Break-Up star, claims her brother.

Jolie, her boyfriend Pitt and Aniston were all due to attend the sixth annual Night Before charity event on the eve of the Academy Awards which was held on Feb 23, but the Mr. and Mrs Smith stars were noticeably absent from the glitzy fundraiser.

Jolie's brother James Haven rubbished rumours circulating that Jolie and Pitt had pulled out of the event for fear of a showdown with Aniston and insisted that the truth is far from the gossip. "Angie is an incredibly strong but also incredibly sensitive woman, and she would always be careful when another woman's feelings are concerned," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

"She'd go out of her way to make sure there was no situation that would hurt another woman because of her, and I'm talking about a situation like one of Brad's ex partners or his ex-wife," he added.
