April Florio has seen her name dragged back into the spotlight in the wake of Brad's divorce and she took to her Facebook page to say she's "tired" of being linked to the Ocean's Eleven actor and that nothing ever happened between them.

Speaking to Mirror Celeb, she said: "I literally went on the air to set the record straight. Well, I thought I did. I never expected to be in the middle of something like that..."

Asked about Brad and Angelina's split, she went on: "I am saddened at the end of anyone's partnership.

"I wish them nothing but the easiest transition into their new lives and hope that they can stay strong with a nice support system and lean on their families."

Brad was married to Jennifer from 2000 until 2005 and during their marriage April reportedly gave an interview to Us Weekly in which she claimed that Brad came on to her during a three-day holiday in Greece in 2003.

She reportedly told the magazine that he tried to kiss her before opening up to her about his marriage woes with the Friends star.

At the time, it was reported that Brad and April had a fling after being introduced by his close pal George Clooney.

April has since denied she spoke to the press but the US publication claim to have her on tape.

In the interview, she allegedly told the magazine: "He hated his wife's chain-smoking.

"He also hated the fact that she liked to hang with her friends or just stay at home. He liked to go to parties more."

She also claimed he opened up to her about his budding romances with his Mr & Mrs Smith co-star Angelina Jolie and said he called her a "goddess".

After the magazine hit news stands, April appeared on Entertainment Tonight to insist she never gave an interview but afterwards she said the hosts made her look "crazy".

She said she only met Brad at a party very briefly but at the time her agent, Mike Esterman, confirmed she was with the Hollywood star but refused to give any more details.

She also told The Mirror that she now works behind the scenes after what happened with Brad.

She said: "I am very serious about my work. I was then. I do a lot of behind the scenes work now in music and films because of all of that.

"I like having a private life. It's pretty simple, don't believe what you read.

"I have an incredible three-year-old son who I want to protect.

"There were so many quotes attributed to me back then that weren't from me.."

Meanwhile, as Brad and Angelina's divorce row rumbles on, sources have said her obsession with her role at the UN caused their split.

New footage has also emerged allegedly showing a “drunk Brad Pitt raging” during a confrontation with Angelina, 41.

Following the shock announcement of their split last week, Angelina is now holed up in a stunning $95,000 per month Malibu hideaway with stunning panoramic views.

Elsewhere, Jennifer Aniston has been forced to deny claims that she has split from her new husband Justin Theroux.

However, the pair were spotted looking particularly glum when they were seen for the first time together since the news of her ex's divorce broke.
