Melissa Etheridge Defends Brad Pitt, Calls Abuse Allegations "Completely Unfounded"

Melissa Etheridge is definitely Team Brad! The singer was not subtle at all defending her boy Brad Pitt in his divorce battle with Angelina Jolie.
Doing an interview with Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM radio show, the 55-year-old singer, who has been a longtime friend of Brad, said she was “heartbroken†for her pal, calling the accusations of verbal and physical assault “completely unfounded.â€
Etheridge said, “It breaks my heart that anyone would take something as personal as your marriage and your relationship and your rights to your children and do it as purposefully as I see it’s being done."
The rocker — who sang at Pitt's wedding to ex Jennifer Aniston -- has been through her own ugly split with ex Tammy Lynn Michaels in 2010. In the interview, the "Come to My Window" singer slammed Jolie, Laura Wasser and her legal team for the calculating moves they are making regarding the divorce.
The singer recounted her own experience: “I’ve gone through family courts. I've been twice around this block, and I know it really well, and I know when there's some forethought to just how mean and just how you're going to put disinformation out there first.â€
Etheridge also said that she’d love to reconnect with the 52-year-old actor, whom she said pretty much ghosted on her when he hooked up with Jolie.
Etheridge added, “I really hope that he reaches back out … There are a lot of us who haven’t seen him in 10 years.â€
To play devil's advocate, people change a lot over 10 years and there's a chance Pitt has changed a lot -- so maybe Etheridge doesn't really know who he is today … But let's get real, we totally agree with Missy! We're totally Team Brad too!
