She submitted the kids journals. What other evidence would there be of loads of verbal abuse plus shaking/pushing someone? Her account is credible. His side is saying no evidence, not denying it happened. Critical distinction. |
| He sounds like an ass. I never liked him and I never thought he was all that great looking. Just a stoner drunk. |
I think I remember reading that she drank a lot of wine. |
No one's accusing her of being an abusive drunk, so what's your point? |
If it were categorically untrue he’d say that right? |
She was abusive towards her kids, during the divorce as noted by the judge and reportedly before. |
It's not worth fighting with her. He (finally and thoroughly) learned that lesson. |
Unless he is trying to take the high road and not get into a public he-said she-said that will only hurt the kids. |
| Why is the leaked FBI report only giving us her side? Where’s his “testimony “? This sounds like Jolie manipulating the narrative and press. Trying to hurt his movie release? What is wrong with this woman? |
| Maybe she drove him bonkers and to drink. You all don't know. |
I can’t imagine she would have stayed with him so long if she didn’t also drink. She maybe gave it up though. And I think drinking becomes particularly problematic when you have teens, which notice and who are also just looking for a weakness to attack because teens try to provoke. Combined with the private plane which gave no one a chance to retreat to cool off, that’s a tinderbox. Especially with so many kids! (I also have a lot and I know that when stuff gots sideways, it can compound very quickly with multiple hormonal kids, especially if you are not at the top of your patience game.). I think it’s good they got divorced. They were obviously poorly suited and probably were kind of codependent in their disfunction. I do think it’s sad for everyone that his relationship with his kids was basically severed. Once he was sober and not a risk, she should have encouraged a reconciliation, for the kids’ same. That’s what most experts recommend unless the parent was seriously abusive towards the kids, which doesn’t seem the case here. |
He admitted he’s been drinking too much since college, but yes please keep blaming the woman. |
You obviously didn't read the article

No one can drive a person to drink. That's just silly. |
Even if she was controlling where the kids were concerned, zero excuse for his behavior. |
