Why hasn’t Brad Pitt been cancelled?

[Celeb]

Why hasn’t Brad Pitt been cancelled? I don’t even really pay attention to celebrity news but I see occasional things that he’s divorced, alcoholic, was abusive to his wife and children, children don’t want his last name, etc. Especially because his ex (Angelina Jolie) seems to be idolised for her beauty and humanitarian work. It’s not like people don’t like her!

Is Brad Pitt just too handsome? What’s the deal?

Domestic violence victims cannot drop charges in California, and in most American states, if not all. They can't bring them, either.

But California definitely has policy against this. It's called a no-drop policy. You are completely wrong that AJ could decide not to press charges.

HTH

This is such s silly comparison. The fact some men in some communities are not punished does not mean that powerful white abusers should be left of the hook. Statistically, many while male abusers are not cancelled even though they should.

I don’t. Watch them I mean. Pitt or Leto or Jackson.

Pitt - the US is quite tolerant of domestic abuse particularly among movie stars; Leto none of the girls who spoke out have filed a formal police report afaik so it’s never been formalised; but Jackson should have been cancelled 100%.

We have a blanket ban on Michael Jackson in our house, I have personally cancelled him as far as I can.

I'd pretty much hazard a guess that he and Angelina are as bad as each other. I feel horribly sorry for the children that she appears to be manipulating.

Yes I've often thought that. What money is Philip scholfield living off. He's relatively young so savings would've run out if he had any.

Perhaps because most decent people find the concept of "cancelling" a fellow human being to be repellent?

The reason why the Asian rapists are not shunned by their own communities is because the communiy doesn't think they did anything wrong as white young women are trash. The misogyny is rife within these communities.

For middle of the road crimes and misdemeanours cancelling is moot. They still need to work.

Do I think someone should be cancelled for prolific paedophilia - 100%. Particularly as Jackson used his status to abuse.

But cancelling women and children's accounts of abuse is okay?

You think UHNW individuals of any type get cancelled for what they do??? 🤣

Hollywood is still absolutely full to the brim with addicts, abusers, and rapists of every flavour.

You only get canceled if you can’t control the media.

I suspect Mr. Pitt’s talent agency has PeopleMZ Weekly on a tight leash.

I think that’s the perception. That he’s dumb and she’s manipulative. People were very critical about him leaving Jennifer Aniston and running off with Angelina. They lost some of their audience at that point.

Not long after Angelina filed for divorce was initiated it became clear Anniston still considers him a friend. Like Clooney she enjoys a stellar reputation so that will have helped cast doubt on the accusations against Brad.

Because it’s the modern day equivalent of pitch forks.
it’s not perfect but we have rule of law for good reason and which is far preferable to mob rule.

I read some of her filings yesterday and Angelina’s attorneys claim never to have made these accusations public until she was forced five years later and only then it was over the sale of Miraval.

It's chilling that some women refuse to accept that women can also be the bag guy, and they use their womanhood to play the victim.

It happens. Those of us that have had to deal with narcissistic, psychopathic people in the past are usually good at spotting the signs. Angelina is not good.

Agree.
Ugh crazy listing all the performative nonsense of AJ for headlines in the 1990s, bottom line, BP cheated on his wife publicly and AJ was part of that.
all the stuff she did in her youth is neither here nor there.
i was a wild one (not a rich celebrity child though), i did mental things but would not expect people to hold it against me 30 odd years later should my marriage publicly explode like this and my children estranged from their dad.
whatever the truth is, he has admitted to a drink and ‘drug’ issue and supposedly getting help / got help.
people only usually truly admit this and seek help when their behaviour or addiction has got out of control or seriously damaged their lives or relationships.
i don’t doubt that he was a nightmare at times.
he was also a young Hollywood star, which doesn’t really bode well for them as they become adults. We know this, history shows us, recent and past history. I never understood why people were so desperate to defend depp. Good actors who are unbelievably handsome and star in great movies aren’t necessarily the nicest of people behind the scenes and we will likely never know the full truth but that Father’s Day message is damning. I have privately sent similar to my very abusive parent.

AJ’s two other ex husbands are openly still friends with her.

But that doesn’t fit the witch narrative.

Because he’s an attractive and, crucially, a man.
if Chris Brown can’t be cancelled, then you have no chance of Brad Pitt facing any consequences.
Hes the one who cheated on Jennifer Anniston, but AJ is the villain in the story. It’s all laughable really.

The public only knows what's been reported in the media. We don't actually know IF Brad has done anything wrong or not. The only two people who know the truth is Brad and Angelina. Their children don't know or understand their parents entire relationship. What a child perceives as correct, might not actually be the truth or it can be a 'truth' that a parent has peddled.

Personally, I have an open mind.

@Holidaymodeon I don’t always think one being bad/wrong makes the other right.

The Father’s Day message seemed to possibly have its roots in parental alienation. I would not have encouraged that as a parent on either side.

I'm glad I was always Team Keanu.

Ronan Farrow does a similar Father's day message.

If you're children are adults you let them speak their minds.

It wasn’t a one-time spontaneous thing. If you do an image search on Google for “Angelina Jolie kissed brother,” you’ll find pictures of different kisses at multiple events. She’s wearing different outfits and she and her brother are posed in different ways.

Yes. See also Johnny Depp. And, earlier, Mel Gibson.

Then Oksana Grigorieva provided unassailable, audio evidence of Gibson's threats and abuse, as well as an admission that he hit a woman with a child in her arms. Later he was caught on camera on numerous occasions engaging in antisemitic abuse.

Oh, well, in that case she must have driven him to it. Or she was a 'gold digger'.

Likewise, Jolie is guilty of 'parental alienation'. It cannot be possible that six children all decided from their own observations and using their own minds that they wanted their father to have no part of their adult lives.

I was one such child. I'm well aware that living with an abusive, alcoholic father is no picnic, and I'm able to see that for myself with no imput whatsoever from my mother. As for my father's side of the story? 'She turned the children against me!' (My mother was incapable of such behaviour. We despised the man long before we even left home, and in some ways even resented her for not leaving him soon and better protecting us).

It's never, ever the man's fault, especially when you place the blame on the nearest available woman. And sometimes the children, too.

Doing heroin does not make you a bad person. If she's single, its up to the men who are in relationships to say no.

I mean people literally believe (ex?)alcoholic Brad over AJ and all of their children because he's a good looking male star. In fact people even blame his drinking on AJ. Also, people have short memories. I remember back when he cheated on and left JA for AJ(ha I just realised that they have the same initials backwards), people blamed Brad's cheating on JA because she was probably a bitch and she put her career and body over Brad wanting children. Now since all this AJ and kids stuff has happened, JA was his soul mate and he should have stayed with her because she loved him and evil AJ lured poor innocent him away..............you couldn't make it up. Whatever happens to Brad it's always the womans fault
