Brad Pitt’s ‘friends’ are very worried that Angelina is ‘parading’ the kids around

26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Media Center

Over the years, Brad Pitt and his team have their preferred media outlets. One of those outlets is definitely the New York Post and Page Six (which is part of the Post). I don’t know why that outlet in particular, but I assume Pitt’s management team has some connection to the Post, or maybe the Post’s editors are happy to do Pitt’s misogynistic dirty work. Brad and Angelina Jolie’s divorce is now more than five years old, and Jolie has finally started to make significant progress. Judge Ouderkirk was tossed off the divorce case for his clear bias, his biased ruling was overturned, and Jolie has begun the tedious process of separating herself from Brad financially. It’s also been clear this whole time that she’s the present, full-time parent in the situation, and that the kids travel with her and they adore her. In recent weeks, the kids have joined her on the promotional tour for The Eternals. Guess who’s mad about that? Yes, “friends of Brad Pitt” are crying salty tears about all of this to the NY Post.

Friends of Brad are big mad: “Angelina’s using the kids,” one source close to Pitt told The Post. “It’s hard to understand how this behavior of parading them around is in their best interest. Brad never takes the kids out publicly — and he rarely talks about them.”

Angelina’s side: But a source who knows Jolie said: “The children are, not surprisingly given Brad and Angelina’s characters, very independent-minded. They don’t do things they don’t want to do.”

Jolie’s work supporting victims of domestic violence: It’s largely as a result of their marriage that Jolie has turned her attention to working to support women and children who are survivors of domestic abuse in the US. A legal filing, submitted in March, stated that the “Maleficent” star and her children are willing to offer “proof and authority in support” of domestic abuse by Pitt. The details have, so far, not been made public. But as the source close to Pitt said: “Brad acknowledged that he didn’t handle the situation correctly. But he was investigated by children’s services and the federal authorities and there was no recommendation of him being charged, or not being allowed to see the children.

Brad’s accusing Angelina of not doing more about his domestic abuse?!? “And in the course of that investigation wouldn’t Angelina not have brought up broader abuse … If she was so worried about such a pattern of behavior, how do you just let it go?” To this, a source who knows Jolie noted that all the court documents and proceedings are sealed, adding that the actress has not otherwise spoken publicly of this.

The California Supreme Court turning down Pitt’s petition: The source close to Pitt said: “People who know Brad really feel for him. This doesn’t change the fact that all the expert witnesses and therapists were in favor of him having more time with the kids.”

[From The NY Post]

This is mind-blowingly awful from Team Pitt: “If she was so worried about such a pattern of behavior, how do you just let it go?” Bitch, she filed for divorce and has waged a huge legal campaign to protect her children from their father!!! She’s been fighting this fight for more than five years! She used the legal system to force Brad to sober up and go into therapy. She’s spent millions on lawyers to protect herself and the kids. And Team Pitt is like “hey, she didn’t do enough to stop Brad’s abuse!” What in the f–king world? As for Pitt’s complaints about the kids going to premieres… their mom is in a Marvel movie, and I’m sure the kids wanted to see the movie! Plus, they are old enough to understand what’s going on, and they clearly wanted to be there.

    FFS you see these kids once in a blue moon going shopping with their mum.

    This was a media thing and they showed at 2 premieres. What a parade.

    • myjobistoprincess says:

      +1

    • NotSoSocialButterfly says:

      This was nearly verbatim to what was in my mouth.

      • JT says:

        Wasn’t it common for the kids to go to movie premieres with their parents? Why is Brad acting like this is brand new? It’s not like the kids were never seen before now.

    • Sally o Connor says:

      Of all celebrities these kids truly are seen the most I feel.

      • whatWHAT? says:

        nope. Tori Spelling’s kids are at EVERY event with her.

        see also: Kardashian children.

      • Lady D says:

        And the Affleck children.

      • SaraR. says:

        And all the other celebrity moms who post about their kids on Instagram, like Reece. You see Angelina’s kids every few months when paps catch them shopping or doing normal things (should they always run and hide or try to enjoy normal life?) and every few years on a red carpet, when they support their mother as a family.

      • Lena says:

        The Affleck kids don’t go to their parents’ premieres but this movie is one that they’d go to anyway I would think. But these after all are kids who have been on covers & in the pages of People Magazine since birth when he was around. If he didn’t like it, why didn’t he stop it then?

      • AD says:

        And Beyoncé, and Salam Hayek & many more! friends had to reply to Supreme Court decision, they have to say something don’t they anything against Jolie! What a farce! Tell the children then they supported their mother & she supported them from him

      • AD says:

        Because they generates a lot of money, the paps chose them not the others!

    • alycea says:

      @JT

      Yup, he went to events alone with the kids(especially the older boys) as well. that’s why he’s not fooling anyone. He’s just mad at all the attention she’s getting

    • AD says:

      Proud of their mother, Surely their mama did not Forced them to be with her! They obviously enjoyed themselves! They are involved to what their mother does, why not? Another Jolie kids happy days! Enjoy kiddos! Ignore the haters just enjoy what makes you happy! It’s your entitlement!

  2. Emmlo says:

    He’s so gross and transparent. I **might** think he had a point if the kids were tiny but they’re clearly old enough to make choices and decide whether or not to attend events like this – I mean, Pax chose not to go so clearly she’s not forcing them.

  3. Woke says:

    I don’t follow this close enough so I’m confused. Are they divorced yet and what’s going on is a custody battle ? Brad is obviously enjoying making the process as long as possible. Angelina is untouchable at this point and there’s nothing he can say about her that will destroy her reputation beyond repair.

    • alycea says:

      They are legally divorced but they haven’t separated their finances out. Angelina and her lawyer asked found out the judge was being compensated and defended in other cases by Brad’s lawyer. They were never notified and it created an uneasy feeling (conflict of interest) so they asked the judge to step down in the summer of 2020. That was denied so they said they would file an appeal at the appellate court. then Brad filed for a new child custody modification in September 2020, therefore he started a “new” custody dispute.

      he “won” 50/50 in May of 2021 but the judgement was never filed since the appellate hearing was in early July. The appellate judges disqualified the judge based on judicial misconduct AND because Brad pushed for a modification after knowing the judge was in the wrong. He tried to go to the appellate but that failed. I don’t know why he wouldn’t stop after they hinted that he took advantage of the judge/lawyer’s relationship to get more custody.

    • Coco says:

      Yes they were divorced in 2018 and custody of the kids was settled originally in 2018.

  4. lanne says:

    It’s the Narcissist’s prayer all over again: the last 2 lines in particular:

    “And if I did it, you deserved it.”

    Clearly, there’s a lot more evidence of abusive behavior than 1 event on a plane. Perhaps the plane event was a last straw. Pitt going on and on about that 1 event reminds me of Thomas Markle going on and on about his “bad decision to pose for pictures that 1 time.” The problem isn’t those single events–it’s a pattern of behavior over years, but framing the abuse over 1 event is another way to manipulate the victims. If the kids don’t want to see Brad, it’s because they have seen things (and likely more than their parents even know, because kids see EVERYTHING) that have gone on for years. And having the world see how happy and well-adjusted the kids seem with Angelina is likely embarrassing to Brad. he’s supposed to be the Golden Boy, the Perfect Ideal, how DARE they carry on with their lives without him? They should be broken completely by his absence. They could very well explode his stature with the Minivan Majority. Expect a new girlfriend stat. The bimbo route didn’t go so well for him, and he got iced out by that MIT professor. So, 30-something actress? Maybe even a WOC? (minivan majority won’t like that but of well). Maybe even a new baby?

    • nina says:

      He tried the WOC, 30 something actress angle already. He tried to hint that there was something between him and Andra Day and she shut that rumor down hard and quickly.

      • ElleE says:

        On the subject of Brad’s love life: has he ever been single for this long in his entire life? This guy was known for not only nailing every lead
        actress he worked with, his kink was that he basically assumed the actress’s look, life style and demeanor (copying Juliette Lewis’s braids, dying his hair to match Goop’s).
        It’s insane how many women he publicly dated from Robin Givens to Sinitta Cowell to Jitka Pohlodek, Julia Roberts, like there wasn’t any one he didn’t date for 15 years until he got married. No other man can hold a candle
        to him for being the THOT of the 80’s and 90’a. Then he announced 4 years ago that he was going to stay single after his divorce (okay, thanks) and he does just that?

        He is definitely the type that can’t be alone for a minute. He manages to be basic and a weirdo at the same time.

        (JA and BP attended the retirement cocktail party of Richard (?) who started Page Six and they were megastars then, at the height of their coupledom they go to a party for a gossip columnist? Ok.)

    • Green Desert says:

      Great points, lanne. And Angelina said in an interview recently that not just the last 5 years, but the last 10 years have been difficult implying that Brad was problematic for years.

      I always think that the Jolie-Pitt kids seem delighted to be with their mother, and very content. Clearly well-parented. Saw a cute video from one of the Eternals events where AJ was holding hands with Shiloh and Zahara and walked by some press. She said she’d come right back to talk to the press (she wanted to drop her kids off inside). She waved goodbye to her kids and Shiloh hurried back for one more hug with her mom. All very spontaneous and sweet. F*ck off, Brad.

      • alycea says:

        @GREEN DESERT

        When Zahara was baby he said he was “passed out” drunk before realizing she was choking on a piece of sharp ice so I think the problem was always there. He never received helped beforehand so it sounds like he was stuck in a cycle of addiction. Things would bad but he was able get sober until he fell off again. I can only imagine what those kids have experienced.

  5. Cee says:

    He’s just mad they won’t attend his premieres cause, you know, they clearly don’t want to be around him.

    • myjobistoprincess says:

      Angelina posted a domestic abuse post on IG. I think that’s why we’re getting this. I think Brad should just STFU

      • Lily P says:

        I agree, add the fact he can’t reinstate his biased judge I think he’s seething that if he wants to take things any further it will be in the public court. Perhaps he’s scared of what will come out.

        I thought the IG post was the perfect subtle clap back IMO

    • AlpineWitch says:

      “He’s just mad they won’t attend his premieres cause, you know, they clearly don’t want to be around him.”

      + ad infinitum

    • alycea says:

      @LILY P

      it’s crazy he thought he could appeal an unanimously decision when the judge already admitted to fault lol. Not a good look at all

  6. Mireille says:

    Just FYI. The New York Post is anti-Angie, racist, misogynistic, anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, pro-anything-white male piece of shit newspaper. NYP endorsed Orange Blimp for President and has portrayed Black Lives Matter as some sort of violent uprising in NYC during the marches. Page 6 is no different. Angie has NEVER spoke to NYP and her reps wouldn’t either (FU to NYP and their “sources.”). Brad, on the other hand, has hired PR that worked with Weinstein, so they’ll use any outlet to smear Angie.

    When they were together, the kids attended premieres in the past for BOTH their parents. What’s different now, Brad? He lost his appeal, so I expect in the next few weeks, he’ll be lashing out more and more in the media.

    • Kay says:

      The British Tory party are racist and anti-refugees, but Angelina Jolie is friends with them – William Hague, Chloe Dalton, – she actually works with them and they work with her and admires Winston Churchill. William Hague who works with William and Kate on their royal foundation. You can’t be selective in your activism and care about issues when you have friends views and politics like this

      • SaraR. says:

        @Kay Why not? That’s called diplomacy. You talk and work with people you don’t completely agree to get the result. And it is really weird to generalize like that, call the whole party racist.
        But you like to post on every Angelina topic really passive aggressive posts about her, so I’m not surprised.

      • sunhine says:

        And the program they helped launched focused on sexual volience that happened in high conflict/refugees camp… Does that not count just because their Torys? It did a lot of did a lot of good work before Hauge stepped down and the funding was cut. Like Sarar said, that’s diplomacy. They gave her the chance to help create a program for refugees and she took it. That’s exactly why she went to DC and talked to Democrats and Republicans. You do what you have to do for change to happen

      • Jaded says:

        She’s not *friends* with them, she works *with* them. It’s called diplomacy and it gets a hell of a lot more done than being intransigent with people you might very well be able to influence with gentle persuasion.

      • Kay says:

        I have an opinion about politics and call out hypocrisy whoever it’s from. I don’t blindly accept everything anyone says – some things I can disagree with like most people do.

      • Kay says:

        She is friends with them and they are her advisors. The Tory party support and vote for policies that discriminate against minorities.

      • alycea says:

        That’s inaccurate. William Hague isn’t her advisor… They all worked on a joint project together and took titles that matched their efforts. Anyway Hauge has retired from his political career.

        Nickpicking a program that’s meant to help refugees who experience sexual assult is a new low for you.

      • Coco says:

        @Key “ I don’t blindly accept everything anyone says ” and yet to take tabloid gossip relationships as fact with no Proof to back it up and repeat it over and over.

        Where is the proof that they are friends or he is her advisor? You keep saying it like it’s fact, but we’re is the proof to back it up.

      • Kay says:

        I’m talking about racism here in the Tory party and she has been seen with Chloe Dalton and Arminka Helic many times and with her children ( who worked for William Hague and he hasn’t retired he is in the House of Lords.) He is part of the establishment and is working with William and Kate for a short time on their royal foundation. Sorry but I not a right wing person and do not support right wing politics or politicians.

      • Coco says:

        @Key
        So then you also have a problem with both the Obama’s and Harry and Meghan as while?

        You know the Obamas have been photographed talking, hugging and having a good time with the Bush’s and Harry and Meghan have work with the Obama’s. Who are still friends, not to mention George Clooney and his wife. Some of her clients and the clients her law firm represents and horrible people.

        No Hague is working full time on the not part time. You said Hague and Jolie are friends where is the proof.

    • Kay says:

      William Hague has taken a short break from he House of Lords and is working with William and Kate full-time on their Royal Foundation – he was already involved with the royal family and Kate on her Education program, just doing this full time now. They are her advisors and friends. As for the Obamas and Clooneys they are Democrats and are vocal about where they stand politically.

      • Coco says:

        So your saying she not a democrat? Lol They are not her advisors they work together on a project that benefited women in Warzone being sexually assaulted.

        But I thought you said you were talking about racism? You said you would never associate with right wing. Yet but both Obama, Clooney have and yet you have nothing to say and Michelle is even friends with Bush.

        So my question still stand what about the Obama Clooney and Harry and Meghan?

  7. cer says:

    Whatever, dude.

  8. Amy Bee says:

    Whatever, Brad.

  9. Snuffles says:

    “ Brad never takes the kids out publicly — and he rarely talks about them.”

    Because you never see them, Brad.

    • Jay says:

      Doesn’t he still only get to see them under court- ordered supervision? After five years? Huge red flag.

      I’ll bet he would love to bring the kids out for his films if he could.

    • whatWHAT? says:

      talk about a self-own! lol

    • Lolloser says:

      So his friends are saying this, he rarely talks about his kids to his friends? Well damn, we knew he was embarrassed when asked about Maddox, but has he given up discussing the others that have ditched him that he won’t reference them to his pals?

  10. Pix says:

    Brad should keep his mouthpiece shut – he’s clearly in denial. Those kids are old enough to speak for themselves in court and they are old enough to decide if they want to attend a premier.

    • Magick Wanda says:

      You are absolutely right about that. It drives home the point even more that Brad’s judge would not allow the children to speak in court. Brad and his lawyers knew what they would say so they weren’t allowed to participate. They’re old enough to have an informed opinion of their father.

    • AmyB says:

      @Pix Correct. What the hell is Pitt going to do, if say Maddox or Pax (who are much older now, in college) decide at some point to speak publicly about all of this???? Maybe he should seriously just STFU and think about that. These kids are not 5, they are much older, many of them in their teen years now. And I think they can see how he is trashing their mother in public.

      • NotSoSocialButterfly says:

        He’s a flaming narcissist; he won’t shut up, o his own unrecognized detriment.
        To which I say, GOOD. Keep digging that grave asshole.

      • ArtHistorian says:

        Maybe we’ll see a Daddy Dearest book from one of the children at some point.

      • Lolloser says:

        Seeing as a lot of his fans launched racist attacks at Maddox saying he was a “spoiled brat” who should’ve been “grateful” to Brad and not dared question his drunk @ss on that plane while he hid away not defending his eldest son… if one of the eldest were to tell all, he’ll throw them under the bus. He’s been doing it to Maddox for years, what’s one more? He’d let his racist fans attack the kids while he licks his wounds.

      • AmyB says:

        @Lolloser – OMG I never saw any of the attacks on Maddox, or maybe I just don’t read much about Pitt except for stuff on here anymore; I literally loathe him at this point. People literally attacked Mad for standing up to his (most likely) abusive, drunk father on that plane?!?! Disgusting!!!! That breaks my heart! We probably will NEVER know exactly what happened, Angelina has the grace and dignity not to ever speak about it, as sooooo many others would!!! But I think it speaks VOLUMES that Maddox literally wants nothing to do with his father since, and it appears Pax now feels the same way. Obviously, the other children were younger, but as they have grown older, seems they are following the same footsteps. When they all reach 18, it is no longer their parent’s say essentially.

      • Lolloser says:

        @AMYB

        Consider yourself lucky. They were nasty. Some still are. “Not even his real kid, who cares” I’ve seen constantly ever since. Even his “nicer” fans who wanted them back together started low key disses especially when the video released of paps asking him about Brad and then ultimately recent news about his testimony. “Oh, he’s just being a teenager, dads and sons butting heads, he has no media training, he shouldn’t be answering paps, he should just keep his mouth shut.”

        Luckily, it may not take them til age of 18. Maddox got to choose at I think 16? And it seems obvious Pax and Z(17, 16) are free. As for the younger ones. The most interesting development is that Angelina filed proof of domestic abuse, which she says the dismissed judge ignored. However, she recently expressed her support for a law that just passed in CA where courts are obligated to look at evidence of domestic abuse and consider it in matters relating to custody. So perhaps, if they have to go back to trial, her younger kids will be spared after she submits her evidence again that the court is now required to weigh in.

      • emmlo says:

        If/when the kids ever speak out, I can totally see him pulling a Woody Allen and blaming AJ for poisoning their minds against their poor innocent father.

      • AmyB says:

        @Lolloser WOW, how disgusting and horrible!! If Brad somehow wants any kind of repaired or salvaged relationship with his kids, this ain’t the way to do IT!! His kids are older (Mad and Pax are adults at this point). Shiloh and Z are teens and the twins are what? 13, 14? They can ALL read social media and what goes on. I am sure Angelina may try to shelter them from it, but that has to be next to impossible at this point. He is fucking clueless!!! He doesn’t deserve any of them if this is his behavior, after everything. He should have buried himself in therapy, AA and made amends for the hurt and pain he caused all of them. Then, and only then, could perhaps some relationship evolve from that.

      • dc says:

        I believe three of Jolie’s & Brad’s kids wanted to testify in court, but for some reason, wasn’t allowed to. I guess the backstory is that the corrupt judge – who had connections with Brad’s lawyer – stopped it.

        It’s really eye-opening that even someone as high profile & knowledgeable about her rights as Angelina is has had a hard time getting sole custody of her children, despite what is known about Brad’s alcohol addiction & violence when drunk. Patriarchy is certainly alive & well.

        I’m not sure what the laws are in US, but in UK children over 12 can state if they want to spend time with a parent or not.

  11. Cellmate says:

    Salma Hayek’s daughter was with her at the premiere too. Where is the outrage directed at her, since some of his fans accused Angelina of parading the kids around.

    • Lolloser says:

      His fans have spent the last five years telling us that soon we will see Brad with the kids in public. They’ve been proven wrong tine after time again but oh they’d LOVE to see the kids at a movie premiere with Brad. It’s clear it’s not going to happen, and if they ever are seen publicly, something tells me it won’t be all smiles like with mom.

      • alycea says:

        @LOLLOSER

        And that’s why he doesn’t venture outside the house with them. we have seem many pics of Angelina and the kids taken by nonpaps, but we haven’t seen one of Brad and the kids. It won’t be a loving outing and he knows he can’t hide their disdain. It’s clear they don’t feel comfortable around him and there’s still tension. Boundaries are not a bad thing when it involves addiction and abuse. it’s sad he’s contuining to push them away.

  12. AVEA says:

    I don’t know about anyone else but if my mom was Angelina Jolie and she was in a marvel movie I’d do every red carpet with her lol. They are kids, this must be fun for them and they look happy to be there

  13. Grace says:

    It’s unbelievable how he doesn’t respect his kids as humans beings. He merely uses them to attack their mother. Those kids are in their late teens and 2 of them are adults already. The fact he continue to put hit pieces like this out just shows how pathetic and out of touch with the kids he really is.

  14. Jan says:

    The children are very independent-mind, so how is Angie parading them?
    Superficial, damn they’re good looking children.

  15. Noki says:

    When you are two famous co parents i wonder how that even works ? Who would even decide if one parent wants their kids with them during public events and the other does not? Who makes that ruling ? I think its the same issue Megan Fox and BAG ,Kim amd Kanye although i think Kanye ultimatey lost that fight.

  16. Mslove says:

    All I saw was a mother and her children having a good time. It’s sad their father felt the need to attack her for that.

  17. Catherine says:

    The Post is Murdoch media. Murdoch media embraces sexism and misogyny. They also love to attack women who have agency and power. Also, Murdoch media protected Weinstein. Angelina is one of the actresses who spoke out and continues to speak out against him.

  18. Zut Alors says:

    Cry more, assh@le. Stay in your lane indoor dad.

  19. Lily P says:

    His sources are claiming he respects his children’s wishes to ENews or something. If that was the case why has he blocked them from having independent legal representation and the opportunity to speak in court?

    He’s so transparent and this is the first time ever I’ve seen his star start to fade in regard to people calling his bluff, defending AJ and calling the obvious PR.

    I hope the kids never feel they have to spill the beans but surely the continued attacks on them and their mother are only going to make that more likely.

    • SaraR. says:

      How the tide has turned. There is a rising support for Angelina and people are starting to see through him. I was surprised and delighted that she has an army of young fans who really support her and defend her on social media. Re this attack in NYP, in words of one of her young fans: STFU old man. Lol

      • nina says:

        “STFU old man…”LLOOOLLLL. Ooh that’s going to hurt him more than anything. Because in his mind he is still young and sexy, not a nearly 60 year old drunken old grandpa. Never mess with teenagers, they will own you. They will figure out your soft underbelly and rip it out.

  20. Seraphina says:

    He doesn’t take them out in public because MAYBE they do not feel safe out in public with him. It is so clear and evident how they feel with their mother. They shine and beam. They look happy. And these kids are now teens – and getting older. I am sure they WANT to be out there and experience a premier – and what a premiere. Plus, Angie should have love around her.
    Brad is such a loser.

  21. Ameerah says:

    Sounds like Brad is salty that the kids not only WANT to be with their Mom but the whole world gets to see how much they DON’T want to be around him. You reap what you sow.

  22. AmyB says:

    I am not trying to belittle this situation, but this “take” of Brad’s “side” is fucking hysterical. The kids are walking the red carpet with their mother, because they are with her all of the time. Clearly they adore her, and love being with her. Body language speaks volumes. Brad doesn’t take them out publicly because half of them refuse to see him, and that is why this damn thing has gone on so long (the custody issues). Child Protective Services had to come in to evaluate the situation. This resulted in Brad having supervised visits due, I am sure, to his violent behavior and addiction issues.

    Cry me a river asshole

  23. lucy2 says:

    That’s funny, considering he paraded his kids around quite often back in the day, and leaned real, real hard into the “Brad Pitt, father of 6” image to sell himself. He also used the “I just want to be a dad!” sob story to deflect public criticism from him dumping his first ex-wife. So he’s cool with young kids being in the public eye for his benefit, but not teenagers capable of choosing if they want to attend an event to support their mom, got it.

    Whoever on his team ok’d the “how do you let it go?” comment…wow. WOW.

  24. FrodoOrOdo says:

    Anyone with even a passing knowledge of custody issues knows how difficult it is to get meaningful protections for children when one of their parents is unsafe. And the more one parent pushes, the more the court views the protective parent as interfering with the other parent’s custody.

    And even worse, you’re expecting to do the other parent’s heavy lifting too, to arrange visitation and phone calls no matter how disruptive, no matter how uninvolved the absent parent is. You’re supposed to provide school schedules, arrange transportation, set up meetings even though the other parent can and should do this on their own.

    And courts really don’t acknowledge the wealth of ways a bitter parent can make their children miserable short of independently verified accounts which are next to impossible to get. Courts will also downplay the damage done to children when one parent exists primarily to make the other parent miserable.

    So these people can miss me.

    Seeing Angie & the kids on the red carpet must kill Brad.It Reminds him of what he lost & it doesn’t seem like he’s over her quite yet.

    • whatWHAT? says:

      “it doesn’t seem like he’s over her quite yet.”

      and I would venture that he never will be, because of HOW she dumped his azz and never looked back. his ego is damaged.

    • lanne says:

      He’s still punishing her for leaving him. NOBODY leaves brad muthaf–ing pitt, right? What a blow to his pride. As much as the media tried to claim that Jen Aniston’s whole life revolved around “losing” Brad Pitt and being “forever alone” because of it, she doesn’t seem too eager to run back to him, either. I guess he isn’t the be-all and end-all anymore, if he ever really was.

      • Talia says:

        I suspect he may be one of the few people who actually still believes the ‘poor Jen pining for Brad’ narrative that Jennifer Anniston likes to push to the press. In reality, I suspect she realised years ago she was well shot of him but kept up the narrative mainly because it played well with her fans but possibly also because people like Brad are much easier to handle if they think they have the upper hand.

      • iconoclast59 says:

        @Talia, JA may have appreciated the “poor Jen” sentiment at the very beginning of Brangelina, but I think she got tired of it pretty quickly. She doesn’t strike me as one to spend a lot of time wallowing in self-pity. I do agree with you that she’s probably played nice w/ Brad because she’s seen what a vindictive a-hole he can be and doesn’t want that energy directed at her.

      • alycea says:

        @Talia and @ICONOCLAST59

        I agree with you both completely. Brad said he was on different substances when he was married to JA. JA knows exactly who he is and plays nice because she has seen his vindictive side. We saw what happened to her with their production company.

  27. Maria from Tercer mundo says:

    Brad P*tt’s “friends” are very worried that Brad is a complete a$$hole.

    Dude, just stop it.

  28. Ariel says:

    Minor point. Not all but many expert witnesses will say what you pay them to say.
    That is not true of all of them, but you can almost always find (and pay) someone who is plaintiff oriented, or defense oriented, or abusive dad oriented. So to take their word over the word of the actual witnesses and people who were effected- the children- would be ludicrous.

    And “dragging them out” to premieres argument is kind of undercut by Pax opting out and his mom being 100% fine with him not wanting to go, not wanting to have his pictures plastered on magazines, etc.

    This divorce and brad’s true colors have ruined multiple movies for me- starting with Thelma and Louise.
    He is just- yuck.

    • Christina says:

      @Ariel, no líes detected. You can hire someone to slant. The issue with that is that kids who don’t change their stories with multiple professionals help with that issue.

      In our case, the judge gave us a list of who was approved to work in family court for custody evals at the time. His side chose and my side chose, and we agreed through our lawyers. In addition to that hire, he hired his own reunification pros who kept siding with our kid after interviewing her, because pros know what emotionally and/or physically abused children talk about and how they communicate. He did finally hire someone who believed him, but they were so incompetent that they weren’t allowed to submit reports after the first one: it was already clear after years of restraining orders and a violent assault that he was abusing our kid, and hired gun was pretty stupid because they had never done the work previously and had a very recently earned degree to practice.

      In a contentious court battle like this one, there are usually so many people involved who prioritize the kids that hiring your own to slant the case will just slow the progress. Long, arduous, but worth the wellbeing of the kids. It sucks, but best to let the judge berate you and the ex in court and let the narcissist think that they may win while you take your gorgeous children who adore you to your cool job.

      Fuck Brad Pitt.

  29. Michelle says:

    @kaiser
    Pitt’s mouthpiece is Matthew Hiltzik. He’s Weinsteins former publicist who had deals with NY Post and Page Six to cover up his abuse and to harrass and malign his victims. This is Hiltzik’s playbook, Page Six, TMZ, Daily Mail are all his favourite outlets to use.

  30. westportgirl says:

    Brad will have a meltdown sooner or later I worry for those kids and their mama he seems unbalanced. He hates all the attention his kids and Angelina are getting. Shiloh especially is taking over social media and is being talked about as Angelina’s daughter no one even mentions Brad anymore because he’s a deadbeat. Instead of bashing their mother maybe start working on your relationship with your kids. Trash old man

  31. Matthew says:

    I really don’t think you’d be able to get these kids to multiple premiers if they didn’t want to be there.

  32. Case says:

    I honestly don’t care at all about Brangelina drama, but I think it’s been made very clear over and over that their children are old enough to choose what is best and happiest for them and they’ve chosen their mother every time. She’s not making them do anything; they WANT to support her and clearly feel safe with her.

  33. Coco says:

    This is the first events the kids have been to in 2 or 3 years and he saying they were “dragging them out” 😂🤣 Someone is salty . Did he forget Maddox is 20 ?

    This is the same man that was traveling around the world campaigning for his Oscar while his two oldest daughters were having surgery and recovering from it.

  34. MJM says:

    Gaslighting pos is Bradley Pitt.

  35. #facts says:

    This is the dichotomy. This started in 2017 when Pitts lawyers accused her of alienating (common tactic when your kids isn’t willing to see u). His lawyers afforded Judge biased and praised Ouderclown to mandate Angelina to “tell the kids they were safe with their father.”
    Angelina’s response via a new lawyer out of the LA network was that she had done everything she could. It was up to the courts and the children to resolve that relationship! Here we are in 2021 and he still hasn’t put in the work. What he has done is ratio a war tank aimed at the letter that use to be an “A,” used his dirty PR team to attack their mom everywhere, let his legal team slander her everytime the wrote a response, and used his ex wife and a married woman to spitefully attack his intimate relationship with her. To me this is emotional abuse not only to Angie but to their kids.
    What he should have done in 2016 is go to rehab and to the psychiatrist that the courts suggested and stay with it for life. He do need a life coach he claimed he got, he needs serious licensed therapy. No sane person would doing what he is doing yet they want to call her crazy. After working on himself he needs to work on his relationship with his adopted sons and fix that. I think the minor three see him and maybe they are ok. Idk but one could only wonder how they feel.
    He is bothered and bitter big time because Angelina hasn’t crashed and burned
    #1 and the fact she seems to not be bothered by anything he does. Let’s not forget she is out with other men and topping it off his gorgeous family is shining brightly on the world stage and he doesn’t get to be apart of it! That hurts but it’s all his fault.

    • westportgirl says:

      “She’s out with other men” that’s what’s really going to send him over the edge once she announce she’s in a relationship. The weeknd is young and rich too he’s pissed. I think that’s one of the reasons she’s keeping it private for now because that man is capable of anything. That war tank tattoo tells you all about that man

  36. FancyHat says:

    I have zero interest in the ongoing Pitt/Jolie drama. But that cropped headshot makes it look like Brad’s head is coming out of the wall. Freaked me out.

  37. AC says:

    If they were your real friends, they would tell you how ridiculous you are and call you out for taking about your children’s mom. Guess your friends are as fake as the stories you pr puts out. Like this bs.

  38. Sandy says:

    “Brad never takes the kids out publicly — and he rarely talks about them” <—— lol you never see them or talk TO them Brad, not like you could take them anywhere without supervision or talk about them 😂

    • Coco says:

      Not to mention when he did take them out publicly and talk about. Did he forget about all of that, maybe he needs to remind his “friends” about that ? Funny after the split and needing to have supervised visitation did he change his mind about it.

  39. alycea says:

    Can I also point out that appellate judges also took the sketchy timeline Brad created by filing for a modification into their decision. From the appellate decision:

    “in the months leading up to an effort by Pitt to modify the parties’ stipulated custody judgment, even without considering Judge Ouderkirk’s failure to disclose, create a level of discomfort that might justify disqualification. When coupled with Judge Ouderkirk’s breach of his ethical obligation…the broad standard of those provisions—“might reasonably entertain a doubt”—has certainly been satisfied”

  40. adream says:

    If it’s not a day to day errand like shopping then yes it is parading the kids. It’s putting them in front of paparazzi, and on magazines, and on websites consciously. Of course many of us do like to show our kids our work, and our achievements and also show off our kids, that’s natural i get it. But aren’t the twins 12 and this is a PG 13 movie? It’s fair for the other co-parent to be irritated by this.

    • Coco says:

      The twins are 13 not 12 . Said parent had no problem “parading” his kids before when they’ve went to movie premieres in the past.

      The kids are old enough to decide if they want to go or not.

  41. Mina_Esq says:

    He can’t process that his kids are old enough to use their own brain and that they actually might go of their own volition…to support their mom. Angelina is out there saving kids all over the world, including her own. Can’t believe Brad’e team thinking this ongoing smear is a good idea. Angelina transcends this level or Hollywood drama.

    • #facts says:

      So let’s get this straight. Pitt actually thinks 14-20 year old teenagers want to sit at home with him and be the recipients of his weed smoke and watch him fall up stairs drunk or may go on a rage and punch one of them. Instead he criticized the mom for taking them to dinner, shopping, concert’s, premieres to Marvel films or movies, vacations, Disneyland. He needs a dr.
      When he is out at concerts, dinner, art exhibitions, scuba diving with his friends he could bring his kids. That derails his smear camps that evil ex wife is alienating him. Which we know is a lie because he has a custody agreement in place that he wanted to modify illegally😀. So back to square one and open court in which Angie made sure to help pass the law in CA that these kids can testify and no judge can stop them. That’s a mama on a mission

      • sunhine says:

        What’s funny is that the kids have actually been pictured by themselves or with friends so they do go out like normal teens. His friends have brought their kids to outings so he could have done. We all know why he hasn’t been seen with them

    • AD says:

      It seems he doesn’t even know their age anymore, he is definitely not with it, His PR machines has to reply to all the attention of the Jolie family are currently getting! They have to say something, Haizlik, CAA, that is what he is paying them for, to attack Jolie! The kids appeared amazing, happy, confident & proud of their mother! Lucky them to have a mum who keeps them safe away from torture!

  42. SaraR. says:

    Brad also forgot those premieres that his whole family from Missouri attended with them: for Maleficent his brother and sister came with his nieces and nephews and it was a family affair (Angelina included them all!). For her Unbroken premiere, when she was ill, Brad came with older boys, Shiloh and his parents – they came to attend her premiere. It was always a family thing, and now it’s a problem. All right then.

  43. sunhine says:

    Have you guys seen stings wife post about Angelina? It was very sweet. I don’t one of his good friends wives posting that if she was some big bad wolf that was poisoning the kids.

  44. Lululu says:

    Angelina strikes me as a mom who gives her kids a lot of agency…I imagine they wouldn’t be there if they didn’t want to be.

  45. AD says:

    Jolie kids be happy & enjoy life! Just be safe, be healthy, be happy Ignore daddy’s PR war tank machine! He lost you won!

  46. Monica says:

    Brad is such a WHINER.

  47. LOL says:

    Brad Pitt I nearly 60 years old dude gave some decency and be a respectful man towards women especially the mother of your sons and daughters…what kind of message is this nonsense., he sounds jelous and angry witnessing his children’s happiness.
    I guess a those addictions have clouded his memory as I seriously remember him being with these children at premiuers etc why didn’t he want their privacy then? Why didn’t he say he didn’t want them.dragged then?. Was it because he was part of that family then and now he’s left out in cold due to his abusive behaviour towards the very people he once upon a time Claimed to have loved !!!

  48. LOL says:

    That smug face photo was when he did the PR photo Op with Jennifer Aniston at SAG I wish she’d not done that, it was cold and disrespectful towards the family he left in trauma. I guess her motivation was to stick it in the back and front of Angelina Jolie see he came back to me, and Brad Pitt got a kick out of getting an image boost and kicking his ex wife and kids down. All these shenanigans got him nowhere but he’s alienated the childtrn due to his own behaviours.

    • Wyatt says:

      Well said LOL, the photo at SAG Award was disrespectful to his children. I also think JA enjoyed the moment too. He had to get the attention off his court case, and his PR knew how to get that done, and it worked….

  49. seymour says:

    I’ve never been a huge fan of hers, but she seems to be happy to be with the kids, and they with her. They are dressed adorably, look like they are having fun, and are old enough to do things like this. They seem to really like their mom, so who is anyone to second guess that?
    He forgets that HE had no issues with parading the kids around when they were little, allowed People magazine covers, and did press conferences about them. He can choke on his own consequences.
    I realize celebrities are all master manipulators of public opinion, but in this case, unless I hear otherwise, just let them all live happily, Brad. Leave them be. Jesus.

  50. sweetpea says:

    I know Celebitchy is Team Jolie – but she is parading them and has for years / her treatment of Pitt in the press isn’t pristine either.

    • AC says:

      @sweetpea What you said is total Bullsh**we are for right and wrong. If you think that taking the side with someone that was not an alcoholic and abuser, that’s you. She hasn’t paraded anyone and if he could, he would. I forgot, he can’t because he has to have a monitor around so that nothing happens. Let’s face the fact, you don’t like her that’s why you are here spewing nonsense.

    • sunhine says:

      There is no “teams” when it comes to abuse, addiction and having an inappropriate relationship with your judge to get what you want. If that’s all you see then you should take a better look at yourself

  51. AC says:

    @sweetpea and furthermore, Jolie hasn’t said a thing about him in the press. Brad’s Pr people have attacked the mother of his children and said whatever they wanted. You may think that she’s wrong, but I hope that doesn’t happen to you. Women accepting this type of behavior is revolting.
