What is your take on the Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt divorce saga? What happened on the plane?

My view is that Angelina has borderline personality disorder and Brad has narcissistic personality disorder. When they first got together, a brilliant folie a deux. But probably led to a pretty spectacular incidence of violence on the plane, fueled as well by alcohol.

(Pulls up armchair and copy of DSM-5)

Tell me more about this theory PP. Because I think Angelina is a textbook narc, and Brad just seems like ... an actor who seeks a lot of affirmation and identity from the women he's involved with, plus alcohol/pot dependency issues.

Brad doesn't seem toxic enough to have NPC. I definitely think Angelina has something going on, but she has had a lot of f'd up stuff in her life. It would be more surprising if she didn't have some issue.

Well ... Angelina just pings my borderline radar - particularly adopting all those kids. She also has a history of self-harm. And abandoment/abuse issues from her father. Her life seems more unstable & dramatic than narcissistic to me.

I had the same impression of Brad as you (dumb, alcoholic) but I think there’s more there now. I think she fed his narcissism (at first).

I think all of her serious issues were on display in her youth. And while she may have been driven to adopt so many kids to build the family she didn't have,she is a pretty damn stable adult from what I've seen. She doesn't seem to have any kind of PD , she seems private and a little quirky maybe.

She's rumored to have a drug problem and former nannies described a totally chaotic household basically ron apart by the kids who were almost feral and neglected. So, I don't know about that.

She has definitely been on drugs in the past. I'd be a little surprised if that was the case now.

I remember the stories of the chaotic household - including that the bathroom was all wet after a bunch of little kids took their baths! The horror. I always took those stories with a BIG grain of salt. Six kids are going to make messes. I remember one story where Angelina was in a costume running around with the kids when the interviewer arrived. Oh no! Their mother was PLAYING with them.

Agree. I don’t get it.

What’s not to get? She’s broken up numerous marriages, has no friends, touts herself as a massive humanitarian while attending red carpets and living in mansions in France, she’s crazy....

I mean yes but why do people like Brad then? He’s done all of the same things she has. He cheated on jennifer Aniston, he slept with Robin givens when she was married to Mike Tyson, and dated multiple teenagers. Only difference is Brad Pitt is the producer on a lot of amazing movies like Moonlight.

Some women don't like to see other women do "too" well.

I don't have any level of hate for either of them. Mr. and Mrs. Smith is still as hot as the day(s) it was filmed.

Angelina has held it together pretty well since having kids. I have 3 of my own and I have yet to meet the person who could handle 6 kids and still have a spotless home with no messes or drama.

Before having kids, she was definitely borderline personality disorder, vial of blood necklaces and all. I think Hollywood personalities just aren't suited to long term stable marriages.

I would never let my husband take a job that required him to kiss another woman. That can't be good for any marriage. Nor would I kiss another man.

After Brad dumped Jennifer Aniston so heartlessly for his younger, more beautiful & sensuous co-star, I have thought of him as a jerk.
He could have divorced Jennifer in a way where he didn’t have to publicly humiliate her.

Then he flaunted his new relationship w/Angie + their new family all over the media was just cruel.

And for saying his marriage to her was dull.....!
Angelina was a homewrecker.
She knew Brad was married but used her beauty to make him fall in love w/her!

Angie offered to have a sit-down w/Jennifer.
Fortunately Jennifer wasn’t interested.

Why would she want to have a conversation w/the woman who destroyed her marriage.

Karma definitely played them both.

Angelina grew up in LA with a dysfunctional family. She has nothing to fall back on.

Maybe, but how would you possibly know that for sure? There could have been all sorts of issues: drinking, domestic violence, anything really. You have no way of knowing unless you live with him. I think they both have their problems, and the problems didn't come from out of thin air.

I do think he probably was in the wrong on the plane incident, but I also think she was looking for an excuse to ditch him without taking the blame. I think she has been trying to shed the actress image and he doesn’t fit with her humanitarian/spokesperson/activist image.

It's not like Hollywood was beating down her door. Did you read the Sony emails about her? Brutal.

No, do tell

DP. Something about Amy pascale not wanting to put her careee on the line for a minimally talented actress.

Disney is putting her in a lot lately though. I doubt she needs money

Apparently she does.

"After Angelina Jolie claimed in court documents that her estranged husband, Brad Pitt, hadn't paid "meaningful" formal child support since their split about two years ago, the actor's attorneys fired back in a new filing of their own Wednesday, asserting that Pitt has contributed more than $1.3 million in bills for Jolie and their six children and loaned the actress $8 million to help her buy her current home."

$1.3 million in child support in two years and an $8 million loan?

Side note:
Brad paid that out of his pocket, and Trump stole that much from campaign fraud and we are all sinking for it. Nuts.

I forgot about all of this. That's cold

Every major philanthropist (yes even in the humanitarian space) goes to fancy red carpet, $10k per plate dinners...it's how they have the money to be massive philanthropists! Celebs trade some of this disposable wealth for their ability to bring media attention but it's the same thing.

How do we know she "has no friends"? That's what PP means about angeliny haters being an odd lot, they seem too invested and claim to know things that would never be public knowledge anyway

These arguments were literally occurring on internet message boards in the '00's. It's over. LET IT GO.

Who are you talking about? Jennifer and Brad seem to be on great terms and both have huge circles of supportive friends and family. Angelina is a loner who nobody seems to get along with.

Jennifer definitely seems to have a big circle of supportive friends. Brad seems to be liked professionally but does he actually have any friends?
