Also she was dating the Weekend not long ago. He's more interesting than any of Brad Pitt's hot dim gfs. |
We don't know that she was a crazy mother but I think it's a fair statement that their parenting philosophies are quite different - he wants a more conventional settled upbringing, and she wants a nomadic lifestyle with no real anchors to location or routine. No one is wrong or right, they are just different. |
Nah, she's broke because she spends money like water. She's sold artwork, she sold her stake in her house/business to a Russian buyer, poor her. |
more stability and discipline so he goes on an abusive rampage? Just... no. |
Right, so zero excuse for him to go on a batshit rampage terrorizing his family. |
Eh. Doesn't sound like you've really looked into the years and years of accounts of the innerworkings of the family. For some reason, I have. And I feel sorry for all those kids. None of them deserved any of it. |
It actually resulted in some of them going to high school for a few years - so a win for the kids, after one of the divorce judges required it. Good for him. |
Agree with this. I also think the emotional abuse continued after the split, and that she can prove she tried to come to terms with his buying out her share of the business. The kids are not stupid, they saw how much stress this caused her. Considering what he did to the family, seems like he was a real @sshole after the fact too. From another website: "on March 12, 2021, in the couple’s child custody case, Jolie submitted under seal (meaning no member of the public could see any portion of it except the document title) an “Offer of Proof and Authority re Testimony Regarding Domestic Violence.” This filing apparently enraged Pitt, and in response to that submission, on March 26, 2021, Pitt’s team notified Jolie’s team that Pitt was “stepping back” from the Miraval deal." |
He talked a good "mea culpa" game but doesn't seem his actions backed it up. You'd think he'd be deeply mortified about the pain and fear he caused his family, and would do anything to make it up to them. |
Good for him, seriously? That's at best a silver lining in a truly awful situation he caused. The pro-Pitt stans here are nuts. |
Yes, being accused of Domestic Violence enraged him, as it would anyone. During the entire scorched earth and mostly-public divorce, Pitt has remained silent and has tried to do things quietly and amicably, for the sake of the children. Jolie has chosen the other route. |
Their entire home life was awful, before and after the split. At least, years into the divorce process, the children were required to go to school. Should have happened years earlier. |
I've now read her cross-complaint. One heartbreaking detail really rang true--when he finally fell asleep on the plane after his rampage she begged the kids not to respond to any of his attacks, no matter what happened. Horrible. |
What? Your misogyny sucks. His abuse was detailed in the FBI report (most of what we see is redacted); they determined probable cause and referred the case to the LA Attorney General's office. They wouldn't have referred the case if they didn't believe dv had happened. He was enraged about the truth coming out, and you should be ashamed for defending yet another overprivileged white guy who thought he could get away with abusing his family and keeping his ex-wife's millions in a business she didn't want. |
Yeah, horrible. And we're hearing about this now because she sold half her interest in their house/winery to a Russian oligarch at the end of 2021, possibly in breach of contract - and now Russia is at war with Ukraine and Russians have become international pariahs. Don't you feel so sorry for her? |
