Angelina Jolie files for Divorce

Their people have confirmed she filed for divorce from Brad Pitt after 2 years of marriage and 12 years together. She has asked for custody of all 6 children. Some gossip sites are reporting Brad Pitt had a affair with actress Marion Cotillard.

If the guy you had an affair with, then cheats on you. It should be no surprise to anyone. Karma!

Now if people cared about real world issues as much as they cared about this Brangelina breakup, the world could be a better place.

@deb922 - right there with you. Karma is a ***ch!

@lnicole - just a little celebrity news. I certainly know there are serious issues in our world, but it’s ok to have fun occasionally!

No no it wasn’t aimed at you :slight_smile: I see everyone on social media freaking out about it, that’s what I meant

Karma should apply to him as well, actually more. He is the one that broke his marriage vows to have the affair with Angelina. Now he is doing it again.

It’s possible to care about/comment about things both big and small. That’s all part of the thing we call living.

The news is saying it’s about him smoking pot and having anger issues not an affair.

I thought one of the benefits of smoking weed was to be chill and not have anger. :smiley:

I know far more marriages who have been saved by weed than have been broken up by it lol.

I just hope the kids are as sheltered from the hoopla as possible

Can’t imagine Angelina being all that upset about him smoking weed. And I have to honest he does not strike me as someone with anger issues. But I guess you never know…

For some reason, I never liked her.

I am not much of an Angelina fan, but it seems like she is a very good parent. I would bet she will shield her kids from everything. There is no way to know what goes on behind closed doors, but I have to admit that I am surprised by the break-up. Their relationship did “seem” to work well for them.

I liked Brad and Jennifer better. On the other hand, a cheater will always be a cheater.

Seems like one of those cases in which marriage ruined a good relationship! They probably should have never changed what they had!

He is so good looking, but also always seemed sort of passive to me. I have wondered over the years as the number of kids in their family increased if he was really the “family man” type that it takes to parent a big brood like that to adulthood. Guess not.

I always wondered if he was really on board with adding child after child…it seemed to be her thing. Why I would think I would know a damn thing about a total stranger’s POV is beyond me. There was just something in their manner and bearing which didn’t seem to show that they were on the same page. Silly, I know…

I’m not taking his side, as he has behaved badly. However, we are only hearing why she filed for divorce. It’s all a pr game for these people. I remember how they smeared his wife by saying that she did not want to give him children, so of course he had to leave her for Angelina. Each side will come out with a spin telling their own story. And, no, based solely on what I have read over time, I do not believe that she is a good mom.

Jennifer Anniston is probably experiencing a bit of schadenfreude today.

It really, really bothers me that Jennifer Anniston keeps being brought up in this whole thing. I can’t exactly put my finger on why but it’s been over a decade. Leave her out of it.
