A story from AskMen.com, the men's online magazine famous for its listicles of hot women, that we sourced earlier today, had Billy Bob Thornton aiming some nasty remarks at ex-wife Angelina Jolie, who's currently enjoying the company of new partner Brad Pitt and on-going speculation about her unborn(?) twins.
According to AskMen, Thornton, speaking at a press launch for his new record, said Angelina "is just going through a high school phase. You know, dating the quarterback of the football team with Brad Pitt over there. She’ll be waking up from that dream in no time. … Who knows if I’ll be there when she’s ready to come to her senses though."
Except now Thornton's rep insists he never said any of those things. Lending credence to that argument is the suddenly missing article on AskMen.com that originally reported it. (A 404 error now greets visitors to that page, and there's no Google cache of it.)
So either Thornton did say those things, nobody else heard them, and AskMen is simply protecting its Hollywood-friendly relationships. Or AskMen completely made up the quotes and didn't think anybody would notice. Damn The Google!

It was a fake news story on Defamer a week ago, and since has been quoted without attribution in multiple places, none referencing the fact that it was entirely tongue-in-cheek.

or it was said with the understanding that it was "off the record".
i saw the video of billy bob saying this on some show, e new or insider or something like that… but it was COMPLETELY a joke. you can't really tell that if you're just reading the words on a screen, but hearing and seeing him say it, it's obvious he was joking.
Where's this video? If he had said it, it would of been all over the internet by now. And if he was captured on tape saying it he wouldn't of threatened anyone to stop saying he said it and give a statement. GMAFB
I call bullshit on the "I saw this video on an ent show" Puleeeeze. If the guy said it he'd be screwed and he would not have put out a statement denying the whole thing. He'd look like an even bigger moron that he already is and the tabloids, blogs and entertainment shows would be all up in his grill. Lyah!
Askmen.com is stupid if they thought they could get away with that.

I think I saw him on a show saying that also — and that it was a joke. So I'm going to agree with the person who said they saw it. I wasn't that into Billy Bob or Angelina so I paid little attention at the time. But he definitely did compare Brad Pitt to a high school quarterback. But it was a joke, it was nothing. I think that's why no one made a big deal of it at the time. And I agree, it is another thing to read it in print… it seems mean-spirited.
