The kids obviously would benefit from that, and going to a real school instead of having tutors traveling with them - hey, they could make real friends and do normal kid stuff. And then B & A, they just looked permanently exhausted. I saw an interview with Brad a year ago and he was so out of it (maybe bc he was high but who knows) - he had just come back from Asia or somewhere and didn't know what day it was. No doubt this added to their stresses

I agree, their lifestyle was chaotic and not sustainable. I even think they are having financial troubles; they used to travel private everywhere but the last couple of years it's been all commercial. 6 nannies, bodyguards, chefs, drivers, tutors, and assistants start to add up over the years.

This is why I think Brad wants to get back to work - to bring in money. But there have been reports over the years that she doesn't want him doing anything that doesn't include her and she doesn't want to take up work that keeps her away from the kids, AND they can't keep dragging them around everywhere. No win situation.

Everyone's looking for a way to blame Brad, but I think he's more likely to be the rational person in all this who's put up with a lot over the years.

What planet do you live on, that Brad has been typecast as the "bad guy" in his saga?

I definitely read some gossip on Jezebel/Gawker (yea I know) that Angelina spends a lot (shopping and donating to charity). Brad is wealthy but maintaining 6 kids and a full entourage adds up; he's not a billionaire. Plan B is a money-maker for him and he should keep it up; he has an eye for producing and that will keep the dollars rolling in.

Because of (1) the reports that he cheated with his costar Marion Cotillard and (2) the reports that he has issues with pot and alcohol, among other things.

Not PP, but because everyone is accusing him of schtupping Marion Cotillard?

Planet DCUM, where countless posts have speculated that he's having an affair, doing drugs, neglecting his kids and is "once a cheater, always a cheater."

Today I am so happy for Jennifer Aniston.

Seriously why?

Only a really nasty person would be joyous that the parents or six children are divorcing.

Oh give it a rest. It is gratifying on some level when an unfaithful husband and the other woman in an affair end up getting divorced after all. Karma at its finest. No harm in stating the obvious.

Uh you realize Jolie and Pitt didn't carry on some long illicit affair right? It was all over the tabloids before this that Aniston and Pitt were having trouble. He meets Jolie and very soon after he divorces Aniston.

In some ways it is karma. Jolie also came between Laura Dern and Billy Bob Thorton. What goes around comes around. I feel bad for the kids, but not for Angelina.

She has also grown up, become a mother and an ambassador.

After what, 10+ years of news/media/tabloids constantly and completely dragging the women through the mud? He hasn't even had 24 hours of a little negativity, and you say "everyone's looking for a way to blame Brad?!"

JFC.

Sorry, don't see it. To me, she still looks nuts.

Those are just rumors. Not true. And her attempt to directly and indirectly drag him under the bus. Every breakup happens that way. First one to get their word in wins the narrative.

What it reveals more is that it's not amicable at all. This is no Paltrow/Martin. (I think they both knew they'd come out looking bad, and truced, so they would not take a nosedive after the breakup). But, see? That IS amicable.

This is not amicable, whether or not it was a bad as cheating, drugs.

I agree with the PP, when children are involved there isn't anything joyful about it. This thread is full of bitter married women who believe karma will even the playing field in regards to cheating. Life isn't tit for tat.

No one is buying your 'holier than thou' routine.

I've always liked Brad better than Angelina. Angelina got what she deserved when she cheated with Brad when he was married to Jennifer A.

I think Angelina is actually the competent and normal one in the relationship and she's just been dragging the neanderthal along. She's a UN ambassador. She's smart. She's driven. She's kind. He seems like a 16yr old with too much money trying to play the normal husband/dad role.

So you can just look at a person and tell they are nuts. Doesn't matter what they've done with their life.

Okay.

I didn't realize so many people still thought Angelina was nuts. She's come along way from that blood vial wearing chick. A long way.
