NO ONE likes Angie. She's judgemental as shit. She's known as JUDGEY-JOLIE behind her back!
I don't care that she is one of the few Hollywood types who really gets that Hollywood is a superficial surface and that there are ACTUAL things that matter. I also don't care that she happens to be a great actress (it's not that hard, peoples -- look at Eminem and his quotes) and that she's beautiful if you like dramatic, sex goddess types (I actually like down-to-earth, natural, girl-next door types). I also don't care that sex with her is probably amazing (she actually brags that she loves to get creative when she was pregnant with twins when most of us feel like farty, gross, overweight tired blobs). The way she does all these awesome things is so "I'm above that stuff" but she comes across as "I'm so much better than you" from the way she has to share every private issue from BRCA to sex while pregnant. It's awesome that she's so confident and it's great to bring issues to the forefront but she does it in a way that tries to make other people look bad who don't seek the limelight and like to keep their private life private. Same with the way she works with refugees. She is so "above" Hollywood and acts like "caring about just a movie is so shallow" (as opposed to people like Leo & George who do it and still get why their fellow Hollywood colleagues actually love to make fun movies or "their art" too). Even the way she is gorgeous comes across as so judgemental -- the whole I'd never do botox or anything because I love wrinkles shit. I mean, I'd never do botox either, but I do NOT love wrinkles. I am sure that Brad was obsessed with her -- she's confident, worldly, involved with the real VIPs of our World like the UN, exotic, and fearless. That's not love. And, I think his parents always knew that he was more "brainwashed" than in a healthy relationship. I also don't think she loved him. She loved being adored and opening up someone's eyes to the important things in the world (because it makes her feel good about herself when she is "teaching" and "converting" other people, in the same way that she loves making public things like BRCA). She did not love him. Now, him being normal and not following what she's expecting in terms of being a faithful, loyal follower of her drop-all-the-superficial-hollywood-types-and-care-about-the-real-things had beers and smoked joints. NOT A REASON FOR A DIVORCE. But Judgey-Jolie comes out and without even counseling, rehab, or a discussion, she whips out her divorce papers. Basically, you stepped out of line and I expect more than a normal human hubby. Now, because Brad doesn't know how to stick up for himself, I think he'll lose those kids. I really do. She'll get full custody and he'll go along with it, because he really believes that he was in the wrong to step out of line (which is why he didn't for the 10 years before -- which is why all his friends are literally dancing on her grave). JA was ALWAYS too good for him. ALWAYS. Not because he cheated on her. Because he was so "I'll follow around like a puppy" guy to begin with. She needed someone with more of his own life story, own belief systems, and own two feet. |

Please, let's not be judgemental about Judgey Jolie. We don't want to stoop to her level, and whatever happened in her marital bed is private between her and her husband. There is never any way for any person on the outside to have any idea what happened on the inside.
That said, I don't think we can know that it's sad for the kids. Maybe it's great for the kids. As far as we know, their great sex life spilled into the kids' rooms and the kids are celebrating the death of the foreplay that they thought would never end! |
I don't see Brad as the doormat you do. He doesn't seem like a checked out father. I think he'll fight for the kids where he wouldn't fight for himself. |

My MIL who is a shrink, told me 10+ years ago when they started dating that she and other shrinks diagnosed AJ with borderline personality disorder. Take it with a grain of salt because MIL is also crazy. I have thought more than once that someone should take her license away. She also regularly diagnoses other family members with disorders.
My MIL does live in Playa del Rey and has a practice in LA Palisades. It's 100% possible that AJ is actually her client (she does have celebrity clients). But she is truly a nut. |
You must be either Jennifer Anniston's publicist, agent or manager. Otherwise, you are way too invested in this. |
This. Exactly. BUT I think that Brad has grown up over these years and he is not going to just do as told anymore. He's not the only one who can afford good lawyers. He's not going to lay down and let Angelina walk all over him. |
| Interesting that she's not asking for a division of assets or any alimony when BP is much wealthier than she is. |
Yeah. She wants the kids to reside with her. That means she gets the primary residence all to herself (no need to divide that asset, she gets it, lol). She is also expecting to get help with the children's hefty living expenses...of course she is. It's ALL about the kids, right? |
For all that is holy, why would she want to intentionally subject herself to that hell. |
You care too much about this. And I say that as someone who clicked on this thread. Seriously. |
She didn't check the box for child support. Will she get it automatically if she doesn't ask? |
Some of us like our suburban lives. Kids playing outside, people mowing their lawns, pretty wreaths and yard flags, flower and vegetable gardens, playing fetch with the dog, cold beer on Friday nights.... It's mundane but we like it. At the same time I can see how it would be boring as heck to the jet setting type. Angelina is used to a different sort of life. She might pop into visit the regular folks from time to time. But she would never live like that herself. No way. |
I have no idea how that would work. |
Who could blame her, or anyone else who has options and chooses to avoid suburbia. |
| Bottom line for me is that making a very public divorce all about the kids is a shitty thing to do. I don't care what either of them did in the marriage. I can't find one ounce of sympathy for anyone who does that. Even in the highly unlikely event that he's a horrible and abusive monster, you keep that quiet. If you're really thinking about the interest of the kids, that is. |
