Last Monday, a story circulated on the internet, claiming that Billy Bob Thornton bashed Angelina Jolie’s relationship with paramour Brad Pitt. AskMen.com quoted the “Bad Santa” star at a press launch for his new music album, saying:

“She is just going through a high school phase. You know, dating the quarterback of the football team with Brad Pitt over there. She’ll be waking up from that dream in no time.”

The actor, who was married to Angie for three years, was also quoted saying Jolie and Pitt “had nothing in common.” Billy Bob also said supposedly,

“Who knows if I’ll be there when she’s ready to come to her senses though.”

However, the quotes are all false, his rep said. Billy Bob Thornton was not responsible for claiming his ex-wife Angelina Jolie is going through “a high school phase.” The rep told Access:

“He never said it.”

Additionally, after last Monday, no article could be found with the alleged Billy Bob quotes on AskMen.com … Hmmm!
