Meet Tonya Westphalen, today she is 41 years old & she's an ordinary person ... but she claims she was Brad Pitt's first girlfriend.
She & Brad apparently dated throughout high school back in Springfield, Missori & now she has come out to reveal the past.
She tells one of the tabloid newspapers that she relates to Jennifer Aniston's pain; before his senior year, Brad said he wanted to cool it for a while, but Tonya was later crushed when she learned Brad was dating a girl named Becky.
She says: My heart was broken. I cried a lot.
But Tonya gives us cute details of her relationship with Brad, she says: On one of our first dates, Brad taught me to dance to the Michael Jackson song 'Rock With You'.

Some people will milk anything. Why don't she do something to make herself known on her own terms
Maybe that's what he is in real life, in other words: unfaithful.
You gotta be kidding me. What is this chick's motivation? And what a joke to drag Jennifer Aniston's name in it.
omg the motive is FAME a la Jerry Springer style. It's like you wouldn't go take personal pictures and put them on your grocery store bulletin board geeezzz let alone post them on the world bulletin board like HEY I knew him. Ya gotta pity some of these people on all sides. Their "friends" send in pictures and stories and haven't seen them in YEARS.
oh she probably got paid too
Can you imagine what BRAD must be feeling Do you think he is just LIVID and P*SSED in a big way?? Where does she get off? Yeah all celebrities have \"friends\" and \"Families\" who supposedly know them then if they are so close why don\'t they be in touch?
or what is Angie thinking? little Brad is cute but a million of them in Missouri. Wasn\'t there another famous TONYA from the Harding trailer park? uh oh uh oh
This idiot is just getting paid for this shit! Has she thought about her husband before bragging all about this, specially regarding sneaking out to watch Brad´s movies? And what´s the poin of teaming with Aniston´s "pain"? She might have been acquainted with Pitt but that doesn´t give her the right to opiniate about his previous marriage. what an idiot!
Tonya, you need to get a life. I can't believe the media is interested in someone like you. They must be scraping the bottom.
Actually, I read the whole article standing in line at the grocery....
This woman, who sounds very fond of Pitt to this day still, shares some very warm and wonderful anecdotes about having him as a teen boyfriend. She describes him as considerate, compassionate, and very giving. She says she was a 'good girl,' and that they went together for all 4 years of his highschool (but that they never did it!) -- at the start of his senior year he suggested they cool it, and she says she was devastated. Later on, it said - Pitt, she had heard, had started to date a girl named Becky Beck. Tonya, however, NEVER says Brad cheated, and neither does Tonya even mention the name 'Jennifer Aniston,' it is the tabloid that says "Tonya most sympathizes with Jennifer Aniston...blah blah," (TONYA never even says word one about her).
THAT, is just their tabloid spin, and is how THEY have chosen to spin Tonya's sweet story for their rag cover. I wouldn't be surprised if Tonya was duped and fooled by the National Enquirer herself.
Tonya went on to say, that after Brad started at the University of Missouri he came back during Tonya's senior year, and took her to her prom -- he wrote this wonderful sweet letter in her yearbook, and apologized for hurting/breaking up. Seriously, if you read the article in full, you will understand just what Brad is made of -- I wish I had had a boyfriend like him in high school, and I'd wish a guy like him for my daughters as well.
Just to give you an example, Tonya tried out as a cheerleader and Brad put flyers up all over the school that he made which said "Tonya Can Cheer!" LOL - when she didn't make it, he gave her earings and a ring and flowers. More than that, it's obvious by the pics that Tonya was no gorgeous popular high school girl, and yet Brad loved her for 4 years, despite her not putting out (LOL!). Most young boys w/ hormones raging, especially those that looked like Brad, sure wouldn't haven't done the same. Let alone pour their heart out in a yearbook and come back to a high school prom after going to college.
He sounds like he was a wonderful boy!
I sometimes think that's why most women have such bitterness about Brad now - they KNOW he's a good man, and are jealous that stunning Oscar winner Angelina was the only one able to recognize that and cherish it. They relate better to plain Jane Aniston, and would rather cheer her on, and root against Angelina. Even though all parties concerned, say NO CHEATING occurred.
Stop judging this beautiful man. Get a life!
Hey this rocks. Makes sense. Especially the finale. And what a great opportunity to read into the stuff Brad is really made of!! THANKS
