Angelina Jolie has hit back at claims she had an affair with Brad Pitt - saying she would never sleep with a married man.
The Oscar-winning beauty - who was last week accused of having phone sex with the Hollywood heartthrob, which was said to have ended his marriage to Jennifer Aniston - admits that she did become close to Brad during the filming of their movie 'Mr and Mrs' but insists their relationship was purely platonic.
She reportedly told a close friend: "I've been painted as the Wicked Witch of the West and a marriage wrecker.
But all I've been to Brad is a shoulder to cry on. Half the world believes we had an affair and I'm the one to blame for his split. But the truth is I was there to try and help him through his pain."
Angelina, who has an adopted son, Maddox, also allegedly told her friend that she was comforting Brad over his disappointment at not having the much-longed for baby he wanted with Jennifer.
