Boy, it sure feels like 2005 this week.

On Tuesday, reports that Angelina Jolie had filed for divorce from husband Brad Pitt spread throughout the internet, devastating fans of the Hollywood power couple.

After the media covered Pitt's latest divorce news, people chose to once again shine the spotlight on his ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, dragging her into the middle of all the Brangelina drama.

In fact, the New York Post took things so far as to make its Wednesday cover a full-page photo of Aniston seemingly doubled over with laughter.

The New York Post cover, simply captioned "Brangelina: 2004 - 2016," prefaces a four-page article centered around the fact that Aniston "knew Brangelina would end one day" and is getting the last laugh.

The newspaper is not the only source to eulogize the relationship's demise with Aniston references. After the news was released on Tuesday, social media users bombarded Twitter with smug Aniston memes after digging through the depths of the internet to locate the perfect Rachel Green GIFs.

We're sure the actress, who divorced Pitt back in 2005 and recently married actor Justin Theroux, would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that she has never asked to be part of.
