Cheryl Holton told RadarOnline.com exclusively that she couldn’t believe the way Jolie had acted since filing for divorce on September 15.

Holton added she was upset over how the divorce has played out in public, adding, “I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. But knowing how close to the chest he holds his cards, how private he is, it had to be her."

Holton said Pitt – who was a fresh faced 23-year-old when he was on Dallas - was wrongly thought to be dating her daughter, 15 at the time, when they starred on TV together. However, Pitt’s character, Randy, was the boyfriend of Randy, Shalane's character Charlie Wade, on the show. He appeared in four episodes that aired in 1987 and 1988.

Holton maintains Pitt was always respectful and “treated her like a mom,” and even pitched in to do odd jobs around their house. She said, “He put my daughter’s art desk together in her room and put up some levellers. Anything I asked him to do to help us he did. He was a sweetheart. I can’t say enough good things about him.”

“He’s stayed steady. He’s a very laid back guy,” Holton said about Pitt. “I feel it would take a lot to set him off, and I’ve never seen it happen or heard of anyone else talk about him getting angry. I’m not here to flatter anyone. This is just the truth.”
