Not on Jolie's side here; think she's worse. But not sure he's a big prize, either.

She said that in relation to how he handled their separation/divorce. I believe it was a specific response to the photoshoot of Brad/Angie playing fake family very soon after their affair went public.

Okay but see, e.g., Pitt takes new girlfriend to site he and Jolie were married ... on Pitt/Jolie's anniversary https://medium.com/the-innovation/brad-pitt-continues-to-show-lack-of-sensitivity-and-im-not-surprised-2a1685b0b0c6. Not sure he lacked empathy just that one time!

You mean the house he still owns?

Yeah, the one he and Jolie bought after they got married in it. And then he took his girlfriend there on his and Jolie's anniversary. Don't tell me that's kind or empathetic to Jolie.

I mean, she has her own empathy problems, but I don't think either of them is coming off as some sort of relationship hero. He took his girlfriend to the house he married his ex wife in, on the anniversary of that marriage. That's cold, man. About as cold as posing with his new girlfriend and her kids for a magazine like a real family right after you break up with your wife. Moral of the story is don't marry Brad Pitt because he will break your heart twice, once when you split up and the second time just afterwards when he sticks his finger in your eye somehow.

She filed for divorce and tried to prevent him from seeing his kids. He owes her zero empathy. As far as the trip, it’s his house as well. He can visit when he wants. Why are you assuming he was only there on the day of their anniversary? He was likely there for several days, one of which was his anniversary date.

Oh yeah okay if Pitt and his girlfriend were there at the castle he and Jolie bought together and still own together and have been fighting over who should retain post-divorce for a whole week including his and Jolie's anniversary, that definitely makes it much better and he's not a dick at all.

(Not really.)

Jolie's scorched-earth tactics are effective at inducing strong emotions. If she wanted an amiable divorce, she went about it the wrong way. While it seems hard to imagine that he could ever be livid, he's probably not too happy with her.

DP. There was a clear pr rush to do a gf rollout of this woman. No way it was just a coincidence that the fact that he was there on that date was publicized.

🤷🏻‍♀️He doesn’t owe Angelina anything after how she handled (and continued to handle) her divorce. And do you really think she cared? The internet may have been a buzz from gossip columnists but when did she speak out that this was a problem?

This is so turned around. How is his drinking/drugs and checking out of the marriage HER problem? You're upset and skeptical that she didn't report it. HE HAS ADMITTED that he has been using *something* throughout all of those years. “I had to step away for a minute.” he said on realizing he had a problem. “And truthfully I could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional. I was good.”

But alcohol hasn’t been the actor’s only vice throughout his career and personal life: “I can’t remember a day since I got out of college when I wasn’t boozing or had a spliff, or something. Something.”

That's Pitt himself saying he had a problem and you're still asking why Jolie didn't say anything? Who cares? He himself said he had a problem so take him at his word.

So file and move on! Sorry honey it’s going to stay 50-50. Recovering addicts can still see their kids and have a say in them not leaving the country permanently.

Because moving them to the UK where there is no paparazzi seems better? GTFOH.

This.

Even crummy parents and addicts get partial custody and visitation.

She’s just mad that he blocked her from dragging the kids around the world to follow her whims. Brad wants to see them, and he wants them to have a real childhood.

The kids will realize she’s a wacky weirdo soon enough.

Seems a custody ruling could be close. Hope so, for the kids sakes. Parental alienation is real, and she is awful. I don't for a sake believe there was ever domestic violence.
