SIX kids all who are school-age, 2 huge careers, and a pretty nomadic existence where they are bouncing around the globe and always trekking through airports. Doesn't everyone need some type of stability in their lives? 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.

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.

She's worth 200 million dollars without his additional 240 million. I think she is doing okay without his money. And who the frack cannot avoid to leave the life of sheer luxury on a combined net work of 440 million dollars.

We don't know their actual net worth (and their cash on hand) and most of these celebrities and athletes go broke because of their spending. It happens all the time.

You might not know, but Forbes knows. It's listed.

Forbes doesn't even know their net worth; it's all speculation. I laugh that you actually take Forbes as gospel.

And which one was married to Jennifer A? Which one made a vow to Jennifer A? And Jennifer A also had no problems dealing with a man who was otherwise unavailable. I do give you that JT did not put a ring on the finger like BP did with JA.

Huh? JT and JA are married.

PP means Justin T. hadn't put a ring on his long-term/live-in girlfriend's finger. So, no breaking of vows, no divorce involved.

Sorry not sorry.

I don't have sympathy for "the other women," but AJ didn't break up anyone's marriage. Brad is the one who broke his vows, and HE broke up his marriage. Or do people just write off men as incapable of having self control or ethics?

Agree. I'm not a huge Angelina fan but she's not responsible for Brad's behavior. The person that makes the vows is the one that breaks the vows if they cheat, not the AP.

Eh. I don't feel sorry for him, either. But people in this thread are talking about her involvement with the UN and her kids like she's redeemed. Nope. When I was a single girl I knew better than to mess with married men. You don't get to play the bad girl and then look for pity. I bet she doesn't actually want my pity, though (don't you think she'd hate comparisons to Jennifer Aniston?), so it all works out, really.

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.

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

Agree. Think she just had phenomenal press/PR folks. Everyone seems to have forgotten what a complete nutjob she was, and the things she said and did. (The vials of blood?) Just because she started dressing like a lady doesn't mean she became one. BTW, that was Brad's influence, he did the same with JA--that's his taste in clothing. She dressed like a freak before.

And she's nuts. She's admitted to cutting/self-mutilation, had mental health and substance abuse issues (heroin), etc. Doubt she'd flip a lid over Brad smoking pot.

+1 Everyone seems to have conveniently forgotten about her heroin use, bisexuality and mental health issues. I doubt pot smoking and hygiene issues are what put her over the edge. Likely she couldn't take getting a taste of her own medicine and being cheated on.

So you think cutters, people with mental illness and substance issues should ALWAYS be judged on that and can never overcome? That its awesome that karma bite them in the ass?

What a lovely person you are.

Are you brain dead or just lack basic reading comprehension skills? I agreed that it's unlikely his use of pot and alleged poor hygiene were catalysts for this divorce given her own sketchy background. I think it's valid to say that anyone with those issues in their history would not then use those same issues as a reason to divorce someone else with the same issues unless they were a complete hypocrite. What an ignorant person you are.

You either aren't very bright or you aren't very worldly. When people overcome that kind of background, they are usually vehemently opposed to their spouse indulging in it. Children of alcoholics frequently have no tolerance for a spouse who drinks. Children of deadbeat dads have no tolerance for dads who don't take care of their children. People who overcome addictions don't tolerate other addicts in their lives.

That's not hypocrisy. That's wisdom gained through hard experience.

My my, how narrow-minded you are. You're assuming she wasn't partaking also. Have you seen her lately? She's no thicker than a blade of grass and hasn't been for some time. Why do you suppose that is?

She has always been skinny. Now she's in premature menopause she is loosing muscle mass. Simple.

Why does everybody forget that Jennifer Anniston is also a man stealer! Justin was living with his girlfriend for 14 years or something - he started hooking up with Jennifer. So that is the same thing Angelina did!!

[Anonymous]

Well for all of those ranting about karma NOT being a thing, I'll just say I think she got what she deserved given her part in the unraveling of several relationships and marriages in her past. Call that what you will. Yes, it's sad for the kids, but that has no bearing on the fact that what goes around comes around. So it sucks for the kids that neither of their parents are mature enough to respect boundaries or vows. This is not to say that Brad did not also get what he deserves. On another note, I just cannot fathom how easily you have fallen for the revamped image of an actress whose job is, you know, to ACT a certain part. I'm calling it now--it will come out that although he may smoke weed her weight issues are the result of a drug addiction.

Pitt already very much enjoyed week and drinking before he ever met Jolie. She shouldn't have broke up his marriage if these issues were suddenly going to be a problem for her after she had kids with him.

Though I agree with an earlier poster that it's more likely that this is her story for posturing with the press, and the real reason is the infidelity stories about Cotilliard many weeks ago. But she knows cheating is a terrible press release for her, so she makes him look bad with kids and it plays into her saint angelina image, much better.
