Brad Pitt spent about a week promoting Allied throughout Europe, but I guess Spain was his last stop, on Tuesday. Then he probably flew back to America, although it’s not clear that he flew back to LA. You know why? Because the child-custody issue is still so complicated, Brad didn’t even try to see the kids for Thanksgiving. That’s what it sounds like, although who knows what kind of legal wrangling was going on behind the scenes? People Magazine said on Wednesday that Brad was absolutely not spending Thanksgiving with Angelina Jolie or the kids.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie won’t be playing happy family for the holiday. Pitt will not be spending Thanksgiving with his estranged wife or their six children, a source tells PEOPLE.
The Allied star was cleared by the FBI of charges that he got physical with 15-year-old Maddox on the family’s private jet in September and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) also concluded its investigation into the incident earlier this month with no findings of abuse.
However, Pitt and Jolie remain in the midst of a complicated legal battle for custody of their six children. Pitt filed a response to Jolie’s divorce petition on Nov. 4 and asked to share joint physical and legal custody of Maddox, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and 8-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Jolie has requested sole physical custody, with visitation for Pitt.
I think People offered this clarification because some tabloid claimed that Angelina and Brad were going to put aside their differences and celebrate Thanksgiving together, like this was a Lifetime movie or something. But no. My guess is that Brad probably didn’t fly back to LA: my guess is that he went home to Missouri by himself to see his parents, his brother, his sister and all of his nieces and nephews. Which is probably a pretty smart choice, because God knows, there could be a battle royale brewing over whether he gets to see the kids for Christmas.

I think the kids prefer Angelina and I’m rooting for her to get sole custody.
Wow. Let’s not ‘root’ for families to be fractured. Let’s not root for children to not have a father in their lives. Let’s root for the best thing for the children, and we as the general public have no idea what sort of arrangement that might be.
Thank you. Children need both their father and mother in their lives. Brad is the one with strong family connections. Those children will do well with his parents influence
This is not a game. It is real life. And the lives of 6 children is involved. 6 children that have 2 parents that deserve to be in their lives. And Angie will not get sole custody of the kids if they do divorce. They will have joint custody. That is just how it will be.
Please tell me the OP is 12 years old and doesn’t know any better. Rooting for children to be with one parent only, wow, just wow.
Seriously rooting for sole custody? Do you know anything we do not? Because that sounds like a vindictive statement. Kids need both parents, especially if that is what they had from birth. The best would be to root for Brad to get over his problems and for Angelina to get over her pride and for them to do whatever is necessary for the sake of the kids so they can still have both parents and as much normality as possible. May not happen, may be there are some risks that puts children at high and permanent risk. In this case, of course she should get the custody. But it seems unlikely, I find it hard to believe that Brad was an abusive or negligent parent for so many years and Angelina just kept building life with him despite that. If I were to assume, I would say that there were problems in the marriage (in which case – children should not be affected) AND some substance/anger management problems from Brad. That is however something that can be worked on which I am hoping will happen.
Ughg, they adopted and gave birth together to everyone of these six children.
Brad Pitt has never, in 52 years, been accused of violent or abusive behavior.
Not once.
All we have is speculation of the worst kind. Media blowing this up and asking the avarage person to take sides.
I’m sure Anjelina is in great pain, as are her children and Husband.
Sometimes couple’s can sort things out.
Let’s give them the breathing space to do that.
Angelina has come from a very dysfunctional family situation. Its natural she sort out a Man in the end, to have her children with, who did not.
Brad Pitt may have come from a strict upbringing and his wife a very laid back one. When children hit their teenage years, shiz gets real, very fast.
I for one ,hope they can both be their best selves, for each other and more especially their innocent children.
People may snear at Gwenyth Palrtrow’s approach to her divorce. At least she honours her ex husbands Fatherhood. As does he seem , to repect her Motherhood.
I have heard. ( on excellent sources) C.M was a good Father but a very jealous and quite cruel partner to G.P.
Non of it matters in the end. Only if the children are put FIRST.
Everyone makes fun of Gwyneth/Chris and Jen/Ben, but they at least can say that their ex-partners are great parents, and the families can be together without too much tension on the kids. I hope AJ/Brad can get there some day.
But of course, once there is a whiff of any type of allegation against a celebrity, Trial By Internet commences & they are usually found to be guilty (esp if they’re male). And the allegation, even when proven false by actual law enforcement or the court system, will always be referenced in every comment on any story or forum about that celebrity from there on.
This isn’t a football game!
I have little doubt that Angelina will end up giving joint custody but yeah the kids will be with her 90% of the time. I mean, when they were married he hardly ever was with his family anyway so Angelina didn’t have to ask for sole custody unless she felt it was necessary – because Brad was absent anyway. It’s funny how he was constantly phototgraphed by paparazzi flying away from his kids but now no paparazzi photos. Obviously he wanted to be seen back then…
That’s not how the law works in CA. If they get joint custody, and they almost certainly will given there’s no risk shown, they’ll get equal time if they want it, too. Kelly Rutherford and Halle Berry found that out the hard way (not implying for one second that Jolie is like them, just that you can contest and allege all you want, without it changing the system).
The point of equal parenting systems is to remove fights and attempts to alienate and play power games from the equation. There are problems with it – some jurisdictions rely on research that shows kids do best if they have one solid home base, and great quality, regular contact with the other parent, and believe that constant toing and froing can undermine a child’s sense of security – but in an imperfect world at least the equal time system is trying. All anyone wants, in both systems, is the best outcome for the children. Adult emotions and wishes just aren’t relevant to that.
This has absolutely nothing to do with which adult in this divorce we’re a bigger fan of. We don’t know these people. We just know stuff about them, which may or may not be true, and is only ever a partial picture. All we know for definite is that six kids just had their world fall apart, several not even old enough to be in double digits, and personally, I hope whatever is decided is in their best interests and allows them to grow up as unscathed a possible. That’s all the judge will care about if it reaches that stage, and I really hope it never does, and the adults can agree on a pathway that works for everyone.
I hope all the family are okay, do okay, and move on positively.
Wow. This is why I don’t like to read anything Brangelina-related. As a child of divorce, let me tell you this: children prefer to have a relationship with BOTH parents, not just with one. Unless there is abuse or drugs/alcohol, there is no excuse for keeping one parent away from the kids (and, as we now know, there was no abuse in this case). Child’s alleged “preference” is usually the custodial parent’s influence over the child. It tears every child apart to have to choose between mom and dad. It’s usually the more mature and loving parent who gives up more of his rights so that the child is not put in a tight spot.
“t’s usually the more mature and loving parent who gives up more of his rights so that the child is not put in a tight spot.”
Amen.
Unfortunately daddy dearest cares more for his career. So what’d ya go do ? Force Brad Pitt to be a father to his kids?
Good,
He can get drunk all he wants and have imaginary fights
I like them both and I
Hope they agree on custody for both. I have seen a custody problem like this and not seeing the children is so hurtful for the whole extended family.
I hope the kids continue seeing their cousins and grandparents, etc. and that they reach balance. I understand that AJ and Brad were raised very differently, and add to that his vices (and workaholism) but I hope they can make it work for the children.
I also wish them both the best and to in time come together in co-parenting, because it’s better in the long run for their children.
He was always flying away from the kids so they are used to not having him around.
And she was not “flying away from the kids”? Maybe even more than Brad.
75 percent of the time AJ took a child or two with her when she traveled.As opposed to him who rarely took a child with him.You can Google his airport pics and /or business trips to France,Germany ,Croatia,NY he was almost always traveling without his kids.
#FACTS
Sorry, Milla. Those kids are used to having Angelina there almost 24/7 except for when she has humanitarian work. When she films movies (very rare as she has said she wants to be there for them) the kids are there with her.
Brad pr team has said “he’s a movie star and has a lot of work” or whatever. They forgot he has kids that need guidance…
Yeah Brad, sure. Tired of this victim routine.
I would have had a lot more respect for Brad Pitt if he had spoken up when the tabloids were savaging Angie when his first marriage broke up and said something like look, guys, I was the one who left my wife. I was the one who fell in love with someone else. This is on me. But he just sat back and let Angie take all the heat. He’s always the innocent one, always the victim, and nothing is ever his fault. I hope for the kids’ sake he and Angie can come to some kind of amicable settlement, but personally, I’m done with him.
Errr, he did. With that big interview with Diane Sawyer. She flat out asked him if his marriage ended because of Angelina or because Jennifer didn’t want babies. He said no to both. IDK what else he is supposed to do. Address every single tabloid whenever a ridic rumor comes out?
IDK, why it is such a surprise, after all these years that tabloids are sexist.
It’s all just speculation, even what People put out. I don’t even know why they felt the need to respond to a tabloid. Because they are now a tabloid themselves? Lol. Anyways we won’t know anything at all until the principals themselves release a statement. They should just shut up in the interim.
Spot on, woman. 🌟
I am officially over Brad Pitt. He seems to be a good man but the way he has let Angelina and his oldest son being attacked by the media for something he did – well that’s disgusting.
To show Angelina that he really loved/love her, he should release a statement confessing to his alcohol and weed addiction.
To show his daughters that it is not okay that women are the ones who always gets attacked for anything, he should release a statement.
To show his sons that a real man will own up to his mistakes and will never let others take the fall for his mistakes, he should release a statement.
I was an Angelina fan before Brad entered the picture and I will now also only continue to be an Angelina fan. Even if they get to together I will only follow her work and stories and will just ignore anything about him.
And to those you will reply to me saying it’s none of our business – well you are right. But it should be Brad’s business to make sure his children aren’t attacked and it is his job to protect them. So far, Angelina is the only one who has shown to be a true parent by making sure her children are protected by the media by getting her lawyers involved.
PS: I actually think the whole family is spending the holiday together with their extended family. I seriously don’t think that Brad & Angrlina has fallen out that much to separate the children and their extended family members. It has always been about family for them so I think they are quietly spending it together.
Has the media really been attacking Maddox? I have seen some individuals write negative things about him in the comments section of blogs like tmz, but I have not seen any negative articles about him in the press. If the press is publishing nasty stories about Maddox, I agree that Brad should publicly defend him. However, he can’t control the comments people leave on blogs, and I doubt that he reads them anyway.
I don’t think Brad needs to publicly defend Angelina, just as Angelina does not need to defend him. And you keep saying that Brad is an alcoholic as if that’s a confirmed fact. We know that he got drunk on a plane and lost his temper. This was irresponsible of him, but does not necessarily make him an addict. As far as we know he passed his drug/ alcohol tests while being investigated by DCFS right?
Enough with the “Brad owes us…” b.s.!!
Neither him, nor Angelina, owes any of us jack sh*t! We are not their family or their friends. Gossip & speculation is one thing, thinking we are some how entitled to some kind of statement from them in regards to something very sensitive and private is something else. Let. It. Go.
I agree totally. He seems to be using People the tabloid to make him look like the injured party. We fans should not be surprised that he is l getting Angelina twist in the wind with the tabloids. He n ever takes responsibility for anything. Praying Angelina is strong enough to deal with his PR and Brand keepers. As far as Thanksgiving, my hunch is he has a new girlfriend and he needs his ego boosted. I am so disappointed in Brad and his desire to be with his kids. If h e turns out to be one of those guys who has another baby and acts like the first family just didn’t work out then I am really done with him..
Looks like Brad only feels he needs to issue a statement when it’s his words that are misinterpreted by gossip sites and only if it affects certain “sweetheart”. No matter that this time it’s his actions that are “misunderstood” and blamed on someone else. Well, it’s only about his teenage son and the mother of his other 5 children, so no big deal.
Angie has been blamed for his failed marriage for 12 years so why can’t she be blamed for another one of his failures. This is how the “golden boy” works the public, after all.
Ladies, the way that man treats his ex is the same y he will treat you. In his exes case, he not only allowed her to be ripped to shreds for a decade over a situation in which she was actually the victim, he laid into her every few years. So errrr, let this be a lesson to us all. Watch how he treats his ex. It will be your head on the block one day.
Having said that, Angie bears a lot of responsibility over how this played out. Starting with that bread crumb statement about breaking up for the “health of the family”. Unnecessary and vindictive. Its none of anybody’s business why you break up, just use the standard “we have mutually agreed to part” and let the investigations play out in silence. Then once he is cleared, you dont put out a shady statement implying that the current custody arrangement is anything other than standard procedure where a parent is accused of a abuse. If he needs to clear the air, so does she.
None of these discussions matter anyway, she will lose her bid for sole custody and the PR battle is long lost for her. She needs to call Jen Garner and take lessons on how to get past the first co-parenting bumps effectively with the worlds eyes on you.
Agreed.
I’m agreeing with a lot of that as well.
How do you know that Brad hasn’t sat down with his sons, and talked to them? Or, that Brad hasn’t talked to his daughters about all this? He probably has done this. Brad OWES THE PUBLIC NOTHING! He owes his children, and his family, explanations, apologies, and whatever else he thinks is necessary. But, to say, he should come out with a public statement, about a private family matter is rediculous!
I agree. It is also counter productive. The more that the press is let in on the family’s private situation, the more coverage/angles/analysis will be ongoing. There is no need to continue to feed the pop culture news monster.
Of course, stories will be written anyway but, at least, it won’t be because the parents are providing the storylines and/or bias.
I wish that the parents had shown more restraint through the years and, maybe, fans would be less invested in having “winners” and “losers” now, especially as far as the children.
Guess what? The children won’t “win” no matter what happens, thanks to all of the publicity and conjecture already received.
Hoping for the best outcome for the family but, really, the children.
He most likely has but because he hasn’t openly discussed this in the media, it either didn’t happen or it doesn’t have the same significance to some.
Ok. That is your perogitve. I always feel so sad when sides are taken.
There is a saying: ” There is her truth, and there is his truth. The answer us usually in the middle. Dog help them, as they have SIX. Very Vulnerable Children, to Sheppard through. There lives.
Don’t let love ( or mainsteam media) blind you.
In a very strange way, celebrity is replacing religion.
There is sooo much we do not, nor should know.
I am just so sorry they are all going through so much pain, over the holiday season.
No one would want that.
All the money and accolades mean. JACK.
If you can’t wake to your children on Chistmas day.
He doesn’t need to fan the flames here by releasing anything. He owes AJ and his family SILENCE from here on out, if he does what’s best.
Stop asking for him to “protect” AJ by confessing his so-called sins. He doesn’t need to do any such thing, and she doesn’t need it either. Since when is Angelina a fragile snowflake? She’s been famous all her adult life, before she even met Brad, and suffered worse at the hands of the media. She knows the score and can handle it. You do her a disservice continually asking for her now-ex to protect her.
Sad for the little kids used to they’re parents together at this time of the year,maybe Brad & Angie had “A deal”that Thanksgiving with Angie & Brads Birthday(which is soon)with the kids..Either way Sad for the kids..atleast they’re six of them to “come together”at this time
Exactly..
Like this man has never been apart of his children’s lives. Angelina was not a single parent for 11+ years. And I am a fan of them both. Why anyone would be applauding a father not being in his children’s lives is beyond me. Women don’t hold some patent on love for their children. And children love both of their parents. I know too many fathers fighting for rights to be a part of their children lives. And these children have 2 parents. People magazine doesn’t know anything about this situation. Nor do they know what Brad and Angie are doing. OR where either of them are at this moment. Considering how Angie has such a horrible relationship with her father and how that has shaped her, I don’t imagine her wanting that for their children. And I continue to say THEIR children. Because they have 2 parents not one. If Brad didn’t spend Thanksgiving with Angie’ doesn’t mean that he didn’t see their children. Goodness; the need that some have for this to be some Ugly WAR is sick. Neither of them have come out and said anything negative about the other.
Brad is not in Missouri with his family. Saw some post from his nieces. S
@nemera77: Interesting. I thought he was supposed to be very close to his parents and siblings. If he didn’t spend Thanksgiving with them, where was he?
@ Carmen
Brad is close to his family. But doesn’t mean he is there all the time.. And he usually spends the Holidays with his family (Angie/kids)..
And to your point. “where is Brad”.. we don’t know.. Nor do we know where Angie and the kids are. Nobody knows. Brad was not seen for months. nor was Angie except for a blurry pictures. In all of the speculating going on in Tabloids and Gossip sites none of these “sources” have said where either of them are. Even Angie’s lawyer Wasser seemed to not know much of what was going on. They have locked everything down. And just like they did when they got married, Angie’s surgeries; nobody knows anything. And these stories prove it to me with the lack of details. If these outlets had “sources” why aren’t they detailed. Just Brad is not spending Thanksgiving with Angie/kids. We haven’t seen pics of Brad out in LA at all. Nor Angie and Kids.
Brad said in an interview he did do on a Chinese Talk show that after the Allied promotion he would be taking a Long Break. So I don’t buy these tabloids all of a sudden having sources. They don’t know anything.
@nemera77: I think he needs to take a Long Break. “Allied” is getting a kind of tepid reception. And I think people are just tired of the whole divorce drama. He needs to drop out of sight for a while. It’s like that old country music song, How Can I Miss You if You Won’t Go Away?
(@CB: The reply button doesn’t seem to be working right.)
@Carmen.
Before he did the promotion for Allied; Brad wasn’t seen for 2 months. Hardly in anyone’s face. I for one miss seeing them both.
Allied will do fine overseas. Brad nor Angie have really said much about the divorce. People want them to make statements and such but why? it will only feed the gossip. and that is what the gossip wants. So I think them both just going MIA will be the best. Won’t stop the silly stories. but maybe give them time to handle things in private. Which I do believe they are doing.
Exactly and if Brad didn’t have Allied to promote and he’s done the bare minimum as it is, he”d still be underground. They know how to disappear, especially, when dealing with very serious issues in their private lives. Why would this or should this be any different? They’re actually very different than a lot of other movie stars/celebrities. They’re not in our faces during difficult times, trying to put on a happy face. They’re just in lockdown mode, which is nothing new for them.
I have more respect for the celebrities that disappear when they are going through a difficult time. Brad and Angelina have always done this. They know how to keep out of the spotlight when they need to. I hope they take this time to do what’s best for their family. I hope they don’t have any upcoming projects because they need some downtime.
He could be with his kids, we don’t know. He does have very good friends in L.A. He could be spending it with them. One good friend, Brad is her son’s Godfather. Brad is very close to his family. They don’t spend every holiday together. Brad rushed back to L.A. after the last premiere of Allied.
Nemera,
Yes, she was basically a single mother with help from nannies. Pitt was always flying away from those kids- spending weeks away every month. He was constantly photographed by paparazzi at that time…
His pr team is definitely talking to people magazine and tmz slandering Angelina every chance they get. But it didn’t help his movie.
Could it be karma?
Actually, TMZ’s contempt towards Angelina existed before the divorce announcement and independent of Brad’s other ex. I remember making the mistake of watching one of the episodes and one of guys compared Angelina to Julia Roberts, in that she’s friendly to the press when she’s promoting something, but treats them like dirt the rest of the time. I think I saw the episode weeks before Unbroken came out.
IMO, entitlement, on TMZ’s end, was behind it, which bares a striking resemblance to many of the posts demanding that Brad defend Angelina and/or Maddox.
Funny how no one mentions the fact that Tmz’s Harvey is a friend of Brad Pitt’s.
His pr team has been slandering her for years. Nothing new. All to save his image.
You’ll see his Pr team at work on Sunday or Monday when all the media makes excuses for his latest bomb.
When the tourist only made 16m my goodness the media was having a field day trashing Depp and Jolie – but with brand pitt they will make excuses and most likely blame Angelina. Lol
A very sad family breakup. Lust, adventure and 6 children perhaps is not a healthy mix. Hope Angie and Brad can eventually co-parent together.
I concur. It’s getting out of hand.
“I am a fan of Angelina, so Brad must be the most abusive man in creation and my dearest wish is to see significant damage done to their children via paternal alienation. Only this will satisfy me as a fan of Angelina.”
“I am a fan of Brad, so Angelina must be the biggest witch since Snow White and my dearest wish is to see significant damage done to their children via maternal alienation. Only this will satisfy me as a fan of Brad.”
What on earth is WRONG with people?
ITAWY.. SMH..
Agree Sixer. I don’t understand all these lines drawn in the sand by people who purport to be fans of either. I like them both (her more than him) but I think they’re both flawed individuals and I hope they can come together and amicably parent for the sake of their six kids.
@Sixer,
Lack of perspective? Plain old stupidity? Projection? Stanning taken to a whole new level? *smh*
All of it is frightening, that level of investment is petrifying.
+1,000
Brad not seeing the kids for Thanksgiving isn’t scandalous. That happens with a lot of divorced parents. For all we know he’ll see them today or later this weekend. I don’t get why people are trying to make look like a victim.
I suspect the holiday arrangements have all been worked out by the lawyers. Children in split families very often do not see both parents on holidays. They rotate. Visitation over Thanksgiving and Christmas or other holidays is often a very contentious issue and good attorneys would have worked out some sort of settlement for it.
Thank you for the voice of reason. Neither Brad or Angelina is a bad guy in all this. My grandson was at his mom’s this year for Thanksgiving and did not see his dad. This has been going on for years with him. This is an every other year thing. Next year he won’t see his mom on Thanksgiving. It’s the way of the divorce world when children are involved.
I think that tabloid story(OK magazine) about him spending Thanksgiving with AJ and the kids was funny. OK magazine claimed Shiloh EMAILED Brad and AJ and asked them to come together for the holiday.Lol
The other day Brad was being compared to Trump. Now there are people saying that Angie should get sole custody. Also the obvious Tabloid fodder that some choose to believe if it makes there favored party look better. It’s almost as if this behavior is being encouraged, because everyone knows that the comments…can be very strict on what comments get posted or not.
It’s weird how this has become about picking “Teams” rather then, the kids.
Yet every single comment I try to post never shows up.
@konnyk agreed, same here, they will do what’s best for them, team kids.
Brad this year he spent Father’s Day the Le Mans 24-Hour race in France. So losing another important holiday would not be new.
This year he acted very strangely he spent a lot of time away from the family, and especially the kids stayed more with Angelina, normally they shared the children between them when one was working in one place and the other in another …. again their commitment had conflicts,
Allied critics almost all talk about Brad’s poor performance, I think he was in trouble and instead stopped work after Angelina finished filming FTKMF in Cambodia in February and Brad finished filming War Machine in France in January …. He should not have done Allied so soon then he was never to do 2 movies close .
I think the two of them have to get it right and talk, now is the time because during the DCFS investigation, FBI, they could not even do that.
It annoys me to see how much the press and gossipers try to destroy and invalidate their family, it seems that Angelina and the children do not matter to Brad.
What happened was their fault, perhaps greater than the other … but it affected their children and jeopardized their safety. Angelina was quick, smart and apparently did everything to be able to stay with the children, as DCFs during the investigation could take them away from her to.
I believe he’s skipped a bunch of his kids b-days too.
But do we really need to know that Brad isn’t spending the holiday with Angelina and the kids? It says a source. I know they’re celebrities but children are involved and we don’t need to know every tidbit of information surrounding this divorce.
It’s funny how he was constantly phototgraphed by paparazzi flying away from his kids but now no paparazzi photos. Obviously he wanted to be seen back then- I think that could be part of his issue… He was afraid to lose his status in Hollywood as many people stopped carrying about brangelina so he made sure to be photographed as often as he could. I wonder how he is going to handle the news that his movie is bombing…
He was always photographed more often than Angelina and her kids when they were in La. Back a few years ago he would purposely ride his motorcycle to be photographed by paparazzi … Until one time he fell off his bike cause he’s really not good at it. Typical Hollywood man thinks it makes him a badass to ride bikes… Aka tom cruise and many others…
I believe that future behaviour is predicted by past experiences. When Angelina’s mum and dad split up, her mother would not allow Angelina,s father access to her a d her brother. Angelina has a lot of unresolved issues from her own childhood.
Exactly. That’s part of the problem.
I agree that is the part of the problem.
When Jon Voight left his wife and children, it was for a younger woman, with whom he completely indulged in a ‘swinging’ Hollywood lifestyle. (An ex of mine had a threesome with them…)
So, who are we to judge that Marcheline didn’t feel his parenting skills were trustworthy?
He was also part of the cult Joaquin phoanix grew up in … Or
One of those weirdo cults… not sure wich one but one of his gf’s got him involved. Imo marchaline was right to keep her kids far away from him – if she did of course,
I forgot about that until you mentioned your experience, shiba.
Easy to google for those who don’t want to believe.
I don’t know, stilted awkward super tense Thanksgiving dinner, anyone? Thought not.
As a side note, am I the only one finding Brad’s scarf collection alarming? Will he morph into yet another middle aged Hollywood scarf monster, I wonder? It’s a slippery slope, Brad!
Argghh…just when I had gotten Johnny Scarfy Depp out of my mind.
Brad’s been copying him for years.
I hope he had a nice thanksgiving. I’m going to see Allied tonight. I hope it’s good!
I believe the children definitely witnessed their dad acting in a very scary bizarre way, even if he has been cleared by the FBI and Child Services. I think they both are guilty of fighting in front of the children. I hope both Angelina and Brad attend the mandatory co-parenting counseling that the judge will order (standard for a California divorce).
I agree with you. That whatever happened it is not the dad that they know and love. And yes, Angelina has her own issues from her own childhood, that she hasn’t dealt with. One her mother was a saint that did no wrong and it was all her father’s fault. She’s not the first child to feel that way, nor will she be the last. And yes, they both need to attend the mandatory counseling and they both have to get their act together and put their love for their children before anything else. They’ve both said what wonderful parents that the other is. I still think that will be the case going forward, not matter what the final outcome of their marriage may be. It takes two to make a marriage successful and it takes two when it breaks down.
Some of the comments here are sick. People believing that it’s okay to wish a father out of a child’s life and painting a man that we’ve really never heard anything bad about as a scoundrel.
I personally went through some of this when my so and I split for a short while. I had always done the bulk of the child rearing (with no help) and suddenly when we split he wanted to put effort into being a father. It was really hard and offended my sensibilities that he waited until then to be a parent, but I sucked it up and dealt with it. Our son was his too… Not just mine.
The point is, we as moms don’t get to cut fathers out of our children’s lives. Not our choice. The court will make a decision in this and you can bet that they will split custody of the kids. It’s not about what’s easier for the parents… It’s about what’s best of the kids. Those kids need them both.
Scarlet Johanson an alleged “lowere tiered” celebrity did not promote LUCY at all and look at that box office. What a joke. Already so many excuses.
I find it interesting that he looks the best he has in years. It definitely seems like he’s gotten rid of a lot of bloating. Which makes me think he’s dried out and stopped smoking the green stuff.
They are trying to blame the divorce for Allied not doing great at box office. They should blame Paramount for dissing Angelina by trying to play up the chemistry between MC and Brad as being hotter than Angie and Brad. If Brad had not acted out on the plane he would h a ‘ve bee able to promote more or maybe he just isn’t the draw that Paramount thought. Once a cheater always a cheater. I don’t for one second Angelina is divorcing him just because of the plane incident.
Good for Angie for plucking away this trashy husband the kids come 1st , why would anyone wants to invite someone on a holiday who just drinks and does drugs and ignoring the kids by not only yelling but abusing them calling them names .If you ever had an abused drunk father you know its not healthy for the kids .He is not happy at home he has issues so stay away , good luck with your new baby on the way
Good for Angie to not invite him for the holiday , this man has issues he is not happy at home , so why would she invite him so he can drink himself silly and yell at the kids , she’s looking for their health they come 1st
