JENNIFER ANISTON - ANISTON: 'SPLIT FROM PITT WAS OVER-HYPED'

JENNIFER ANISTON insists the media have over-hyped her split from ex-husband BRAD PITT - calling their divorce "a very peaceful thing".

The former FRIENDS star is baffled by the soap opera created by their well-publicised break-up and Pitt's subsequent romance with ANGELINA JOLIE - because she still speaks to her ex-husband.

Aniston told American talk show host DIANE SAWYER, "Do I talk to Brad? Yes we do, I do."

She adds of the split, "It's a very peaceful thing. That's what's so unfortunate. You know people want it to be this war, this mean, terrible, shallow thing that is just some soap opera storyline, and it's just not."
