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

[Anonymous]

I admit I have invested way to much time this weekend reading updates on their divorce. But what happened on the plane that preceded the whole thing ?
It seems like Brad was drunk, attacked Angelina and the oldest kid got involved. Seems shady

I just want to know if it’s really true that when he got off the plane (post flight) he stole the refueling truck and drove around the tarmac.

It was on RadarOnline right after the incident happened. But it really seemed unlikely so I don’t think it’s true.

I think he had a growing problem with alcohol over the course of probably 5 years that culminated in an incident that got physical on a plane and that she went nuclear in response. He and Angie likely had been slowly drifting apart during that time for reasons that probably included the alcohol issues but were probably very complex and specific to them as they are to all couples with a long and intense relationship, particularly with kids involved.

I think she kept her kids stable in the immediate aftermath and I think he straightened his life out to have a relationship with his kids. Both of them have a responsibility for how publicly and acrimoniously it played out in the media that their kids then had to bear witness to.

I think they are both actors who care a lot about their image and reputation and both have used the divorce to try to spin the media towards their own narrative and the truth almost certainly lies somewhere in the middle.

Here’s one article on it.

Well, based on their histories, Brad is a more believable one, but I have no sympathy for him. He knew what he got into when he hooked up with that crazy woman. It's no surprise that he has to pay for it.

Admittedly, I am kind of out of the People/Us Weekly loop, but it's interesting/surprising that the two of them have largely stayed out of the spotlight, even with his Oscar win.

From what I read, Brad was drunk and argumentative with Angelina. I’ve never read that he physically attacked her. However, the oldest child tried to intervene and Brad got physical with him, likely shoving him hard. Maddox isn’t tall and he’s slim. It wasn’t right for Brad to put his hands on him.

I also think they could have worked it out if Brad stopped abusing alcohol.

She’s insane.

OP, I'm so glad that you bring up this very important subject.

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.

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.
