“There are rumours that part of the problem was that Brad was allegedly drinking and smoking too much weed. I wonder why he would need to self-medicate,” Handler said.

“Maybe because he could have been spending the last 12 years at Lake Como hanging out with George Clooney and Matt Damon, instead of being stuck in a house with 85 kids speaking 15 different languages.

“Oh yeah, because he married a f ... ing lunatic, that’s why.”

She went on: “Brad and Angelina always said they wouldn’t get married until everyone could get married”.

“And I always said I wouldn’t get married until they got divorced, so I’m officially accepting proposals. I’m ready,” Handler laughed.

Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt this week, citing “irreconcilable differences”, with reports swirling about Pitt’s alleged infidelity and drug taking.

Jolie — an Oscar winner and United Nations ambassador known for her humanitarian work — reportedly decided to divorce Pitt after “one shocking incident” last week that pushed her over the line.

“The final divorce decision was only made one week ago. An incident took place and prompted (Angelina) to act and file,” an insider told Us Weekly.

Jolie is seeking physical custody of the couple’s six children, three of which they adopted together, according to court documents.

Meantime, Aniston — whose marriage to Pitt ended when he left her for Jolie in 2005 — is said to be “sort of satisfied about Brad and Angelina’s split”.

“That’s karma for you,” Aniston reportedly said, according to Us Weekly.
