Watch what you say about Angelina Jolie; because her posse just might come a-calling.

Melissa Etheridge appeared on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” on Wednesday, telling host Andy Cohen that she was approached by Jolie’s camp after disparaging the actress as “evil.”

Etheridge, a longtime friend of Brad Pitt, appeared on Cohen’s SiriusXM radio show earlier this week and claimed to have seen “nasty” behavior on Jolie’s part toward actress Laura Dern when Jolie began a relationship with Dern’s then-fiance Billy Bob Thornton.

“I was around when Angelina was not doing nice things with Billy Bob to Laura Dern,” Etheridge recalled, while discussing the recent breakup of Pitt and Jolie. “I helped Laura move out of her house with Billy Bob — I like broke into their home to get their stuff out because it was so nasty.”

Speaking with Cohen and fellow singer Kelly Clarkson on “Watch What Happens Live” on Wednesday, Etheridge said that she’d been contacted by Team Jolie.

“I ran into you this morning, crazily, and you said that you had heard from Angelina’s camp, and that what you had heard was not great,” Cohen recalled on Wednesday’s “Watch What Happens Live.”

“Well, it’s, you know … there are people whose business it is, whose job it is, to kind of fix things for celebrities,” Etheridge said. “And I understand, because sometimes we say things … and every time I say something, it gets out there, and it gets turned around and twisted, and all of a sudden I’m saying something about her.”

Rather than offer more spoken opinions about Jolie, Etheridge then proceeded to debut a new song that she’d written about the Brangelina breakup.

The title of the song: “The Fixer Blues.”

Among the lyrics of the bluesy tune, “I ain’t pickin’ no fight, it’s none of my business who’s wrong or who’s right, anyway.”

And, “Fixer, I hope you understand, to scandalize my plan.”

Watch Etheridge put the Brangelina split to music in the video.
