Why hasn’t Brad Pitt been cancelled?

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?

It’s a story as old as time, he well and truly had karma bite him on the ass. Bet he wishes every day he had children with someone normal.

Money is the reason, OP. He’s got decades of blockbuster potential ahead of him. Add the name Brad Pitt to a cast and the film will be worth so much more. So it’s not in Hollywood’s interest to cancel him. Hasn’t there just been a film about Michael Jackson! If it can brush away his many sleepovers with kids and CSA allegations to make cash, Brad Pitt will get a pass on drunkenly terrorising his wife and kids.

Also I think if my husband was asleep drunk after that he'd abused my kids, I wouldn't be waking him when the plane landed so he could do it again! I'd be out of there with them before he could get up.

TBF I loved Jolie in Malificent. Favourite film I watched with the kids and would watch on my own.

She definitely had issues. She write her first husband's name in blood on her t-shirt at their wedding and that was before the blood vials with Billie Bob.

My mother hated my father after he left her, denied access, screaming at him on the doorstep when he was allowed to take us out, she later moved without telling him and we never dared bring him up in her presence. I lost contact with him for 30 years. Asked for her blessing to meet up with him and she cut me off! Parental alienation is definitely a thing.
