MARION COTILLARD took to Instagram on Wednesday to shoot down rumors of an affair with “Allied” co-star Brad Pitt that precipitated the shock announcement of the actor’s divorce to Angelina Jolie.

    The French Oscar-winner posted an abstract picture on her personal Instagram account along with a statement in both English and French. Cotillard forthrightly denied she was in any way involved in the Jolie-Pitt imbroglio, highlighting how the innuendo and conjecture had hurt her loved ones including her husband actor-director Guillaume Canet.

    Cotillard went on to reveal that she is expecting a second child with Canet. In a pointed reference to the “media and the haters” who were passing judgment, she wished them a “swift recovery.” The actress ended her note by wishing that both Jolie and Pitt “find peace in this very tumultuous moment.”(SD-Agencies)
