Angelina Jolie isn't one to put up with any bull. On Monday, December 30, Jolie and her ex-husband Brad Pitt officially reached a divorce settlement, more than eight years after Jolie initially filed in September 2016. Jolie's lawyer, James Simon of Hersh Mannis, confirmed the news to People with a statement earlier this week. “More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family," the attorney said. "This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over."

Now, in a new interview with W magazine as a part of its Best Performance issue, Jolie revealed that liars really get under her skin.

“My pet peeve is somebody who is a liar," she said when asked about what makes her tick. “Somebody who feels a need to not say the truth or what they want, what they feel."

She continued, explaining why fibbing bothers her so much, though, she never mentioned her Pitt's name nor confirmed if she was their relationship.

"There's a big version of that—and I'm not trying to be heavy about it—but people who say one thing and mean another, who aren't completely who they are," she added. "I think a lot of people don't say what they mean."

"I had seven months of singing class, Italian class, and opera class. Then, throughout filming, Pablo and the team treated me like a singer—which really meant a lot to me," she explained to W. "I had pianos wherever I went, my coaches, my exercises, and every night I was practicing for the next performance. But I'm different because I'm a mom, so I was able to step away from a heavy day at work and think about something else."
