Brad Pitt attended the French Open the same weekend as Knox’s HS graduation

The most chaotic French Open in decades came to a close this weekend. There were some nice stories – teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva won her first major singles title, and doubles dream-team Taylor Townsend and Kateřina Siniaková won the women’s doubles title. Unfortunately, Alexander Zverev, a man credibly accused of domestic violence by two girlfriends, won his first major. All he needed was for all of the great gatekeepers of men’s tennis – Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev – to lose early or not play at all. I could rant about this all day but I’ll move on.

Shockingly, Brad Pitt did not turn up to the men’s final to cheer on a fellow credibly accused DV assailant. Pitt and Ines de Ramon turned up at the women’s final instead. It was a real bummer – I just wanted to watch Mirra, but they kept cutting to Pitt’s vague, expressionless face. Pitt has turned up at major sporting events often in recent years, but I never get the impression that he actually cares that much about any of these sports or athletes.

The photos of Brad enjoying tennis in Paris also came out the same weekend we learned that Brad’s youngest son graduated from high school. Obviously, Brad was not there for Knox’s graduation. Angelina Jolie and Knox’s siblings were there though. Knox spoke at his graduation and announced that he had a Muay Thai fight later that night. Additionally, Angelina and her kids were spotted playing pickleball on Sunday. Angelina is not sporty in the least, but you could tell that she was having fun with her kids.

    I’m in the thick of a tumultuous divorce, obviously not on the same level as Angelina’s. Seeing her and her children thriving and enjoying their lives is giving me hope.

  2. Normades says:

    Did Vivienne graduate early or maybe go to a different school?

    Brad’s hair is ridiculous. I had a gay guy friend explain to me how you can always tell it’s plugs. It doesn’t lay down naturally and can look like a wig. Brad’s is giving big wig energy.

    Really gross he needs to trot out his pr plant gfriend to take the spotlight from his youngest child. Though he probably didn’t even know knox was graduating

    • Eva says:

      Big wig and small dick energy.

      • MY3CENTS says:

        He looks like one of those creepy old guys who aged but still wear the same wig from 30 years ago….ickkk

      • Melissa says:

        I looked up the school Knox graduated from – it’s for students with “learning, social, or emotional differences”, very individualized for students who aren’t successful in a traditional school setting. Seems like Vivi was probably able to attend a traditional school and Knox was maybe held back/transferred to a different school with a different graduation timeline.

    • Lauren says:

      I was wondering the same about Vivienne.

      Brad looks like he’s trying to go for Pedro Pascal’s look, but he really can’t pull that effortless coolness off.

      • Peanut Butter says:

        Part of Pedro’s coolness is his great warmth, open-heartedness and humor — qualities I’ve never seen evidence of in Brad Pitt. His empathy, curiosity and genuine interest in others are such attractive traits, too, that I’ve never observed in Pitt. Yes, I’m a huge Pascal fan LOL

    • SarahCS says:

      My first reaction (after the inevitable UGH) was good grief the hair. Big wig energy is killing me. Thank you.

      We all end up with the face we deserve and on that front I’m delighted for him.

    • Chaine says:

      In his defense, the wig coordinates well with the serial killer glasses and the 90s goatee

    • Rachel says:

      Unclear. The school knox went to seems to be one for kids who do independent due to travel, sports, acting, or other special needs. American kids who go off to spain to train for junior soccer can do school this way. Its flexible. Knox seems like a serious athlete so I can see it being a great fit for him. Perhaps shiloh went to a school for dance and Viv went to a school for theater

      One thing angie’s gonna do is make sure all her kids’ specific needs are met, even if it means sending them all to all different high schools. God bless her.

  3. ThatGirlThere says:

    He’s such a loser. Imagine leaving your first wife because she couldn’t carry a child (probably) all to build a family with someone who adores you and you betray every single one of them? Even my deadbeat dad came to graduation and move in day for his kids. Trash.

    • Thinking says:

      I have to admit I am a little shocked by how it’s all turned out. I did not expect Brad Pitt to have a sad existence like this in his 60s. He has money, but being hated by your kids is not the kind of life anyone wants.

      • Eva says:

        He doesn’t care that kids don’t like him. What bothers him is the effect it has on his image.

  4. Lol says:

    The hardcore staged backgrid US photo-ops were soo obvious especially as domestic violence perpetrator & his abuser apologist enabler girlfriend zeroed in on every papratzzi lense aimed at them and the staged PDA was the biggest giveaway 😂 I guess girlfriend didn’t like her domestic violence perpetrator boyfriend telling tabloids he wasn’t ready for marriage and children. yet. They both are soo gross just to deflect how much of a deadbeat father of six he is & refusing to celebrate his children’s graduations. Not even a statement. He truly has written them off existence.

  5. Naheed0 says:

    Is it me or despite the staged inappropriate PDA at an event where there is a decorum, these two pathetic individuals gave such a crass emotionally stunted vibes. Don’t get me wrong Pitt is in love because he’s eventually started matching what’s her names newly styled wardrobe paid by him of course. She looks more obcessed with him than he is with her .

    • Tuesday says:

      I think she looks like Gene Simmons, honestly. I did a double take.

    • Lily says:

      It was very performative. Especially compared to the couple next to them. BUT it makes sense because Knox’s graduation was around the same day. Gotta play it up so people don’t question why he’s absent for another milestone.

      • Lol says:

        @lily. Looked very performative & of course it was pitts go-to backgrid they performed for. The couple with them was Flea and his wife. Yet it was very staged actions both Pitt and the girlfriend was doing , nobody at the court were behaving like them. It most definitely was aimed sole purpose to deflect attention away from Knox graduation he refused to go ,nor acknowledged.

  6. Naheed0 says:

    Soo happy seeing Angelina jolie and kids having some light fun time.

  7. Kyle says:

    Dear God I hate people staring down the lenses and acting like they’re not. The girlfriend sure is in the photo hugging him you can see her zeroing In at Backgrid their hired papratzzi.

  8. MaisiesMom says:

    His haircut and glasses combo looks like one of Matthew Rhys’s disguises from “The Americans.”

    • Jayna says:

      It really does. It looks so fake. The color is so fake and is doing him no favors. I think he has a bit of a hairpiece situation mixed in with his own hair. He would be better off to have a little salt-and-pepper going on at his age. That color and style is so fake that it just looks flat and makes his skin tone look flat. Plus, I think he’s had some face work done, which never works on a man in his 60s. He’s rich. He can do better.

      • Matt1e says:

        I think he’s still filming the look is fir that character he’s constantly filming one movie after another as if his life depends upon it. The hairstyle is from that movie. Those glasses Frames look awful on him and his attention seeking girlfriend. Looks like she had some facial surgical procedures with BP too

  9. Matt1e says:

    Another face and neck lift and hair peice situation going on.
    Coming across very rehearsed & staged this outing to deflect from Brad continues to ghost his children’s graduations, what a let down, he seriously can’t even make himself attention their graduations let alone a congratulations wishes to them, considering how much he owns the media narratives ge could at least extend an olive branch to those he’s hurt the most and that’s all children and Angelina

  10. Ladiabla says:

    This man looking like a total empty shell of a person while his entire family moves on without him. It’s just sad. Angelina really built something with her children. She should be proud. I’m glad those kids have her.

    • Lol says:

      Likewise Brad looks deadeyed , don’t get me wrong this is all his choice to live this life soo superficially, and yes it is superficial, he comes across as insincere and narsasstic man. He’s shown zero empathy and compassion towards his 7 domestic violence victims, and we’ve seen that play out by him and his PR since 2016.

      Wishing Angelina Jolie and her children to fully heal and overcome their truma they had to endure . I wish them nothing but good wishes all 7 of them.

  11. Jais says:

    So many media outlets were covering him at the game and it was icky.

    • Telsi says:

      Goes to show how much power and influence Pitt still has despite abusing minor children and their mother. Who else can get such wall to wall posative coverage and the girlfriend got publicity too no wonder they packed on the over the top staged PDAs. Kind of depressing how his image never got tainted even for a second.

    • Eva says:

      Reminder: he’s paying for all this. He didn’t end up there by accident. He goes where he knows he’ll definitely be photographed. And online, even Deuxmoi readers are making fun of him more and more, also accusing him of being na abuser. If you’re losing Deuxmoi readers, it means you’re doing something very wrong.

      • Jais says:

        That’s good. I saw a tik tok post and I can’t remember the outlet. But I watched as any comment referencing his abuse of his kids was taken down. Ones making fun of how he looked bad were left up but ones referencing the abuse were not. I wish I could remember the outlet but it was a big one.

      • Jegede says:

        On the other hand, there are heavy pro-Pitt comments on ET, Daily Mail, TMZ et al.

      • Normades says:

        That doesn’t surprise me from any of those sites

      • Eva says:

        Jegede They’re the ones his PR people contact first. And it’s not just his PR either. Daily Fail, Page 666, TMZ, People Mag… all PR agencies work with them. Angelina doesn’t employ any, so they write about her whatever Hiltzik tells them to. If she followed Pitt or Deep’s example and hired such people, they’d be writing only positive things about her. And the vast majority of these favorable comments about pitt are written by bots.

      • Jegede says:

        True Eva, but that same bots argument could be flipped for any site.

        Anyway, I’m always hesitant to use that narrative cause it’s often attached to stories about the Duke & Duchess of Sussex.

      • Eva says:

        Jegede I look at it this way: when I see negative comments about Angelina, I think most of them are written by bots. When I see positive comments about her, I think they’re all written by her fans. In Pitt’s case, the negative ones are written by Angelina fans and others who haven’t been duped by Pitt, while the positive ones are mostly written by bots. As for M and H, I don’t know if they’re playing at distorting reality with bots. I only know that there are people out there who wish them harm, and when I see these negative comments, I know where they’re mostly coming from (bots). As for the positive ones, I think they have a very large base of true fans, so these comments are probably mostly true. But maybe I’m wrong about all this.

  12. YankeeDoodles says:

    God he’s like a cautionary tale on legs. 😬😫

  13. Lily says:

    Deadbeat. Its no wonder the kids rather honor Angelina with how supportive she’s been. Instead he rather focus on PR distractions to take away from him being absent for another milestone once again.

  14. Jay says:

    This also shows us that Brad’s pr team is desperately working behind the scenes to try and improve his image.

    While Zahara’s graduation from university might have come as a surprise to Brad (that’ll happen when you don’t acknowledge or visit your oldest daughter – the years fly by), someone on his pr team was probably circling Knox’s graduation date on the calendar and making sure that they wouldn’t get caught unawares. This time there will be some recent photos to provide contrast!

    Sad Dad Brad has got projects and a girlfriend to promote, too, y’know? Maybe if people see him smiling and hanging out with celebrities at tennis, they’ll conveniently forget about why he’s avoiding such a milestone event for his youngest son (Whom he probably hasn’t seen in years).

  15. Jferber says:

    Eva, you slay me! Perfectly stated.

  16. Lens says:

    So nobody but me was shocked by Knox using the F bomb at his high school graduation speech? I guess I’m just old. I’ll see myself out….

    • Jais says:

      So I taught HS in Bklyn for 15 years and nope I was not shocked by any means. It’s a word. Now, I grew up in a very conservative area of Ga and people gasped and clutched pearls over the F word. Suspend kids over it. And you know what, atp, I’m not about that pearl clutching. I’ve taught kids for years and I know what empathy is and it’s not about whether you use the f word or not, I can promise u that. But look, if it offends you, then who who am I to say .

  17. jferber says:

    I think the gods snatched back Brad Pitt’s good looks as punishment for being such a dick.

  18. Oxie says:

    No i was too at first lol. But i read this was more of homeschooling program and the graduation was informal. They only had handful of graduates so the kids got to fool around at the end. I assume that’s why the other parents were laughing and clapping. Definitely not my tax bracket haha
