To think Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have had the worst relationship ever

It's quite spectacular the downfall from leading couple in the world to the children changing their names when they turn 18. Divorces happen but the scale of the disintegration is wild. If only Ange was on MN to get advice on red flags. 🚩

I think OJ Simpson and the poor ex-wife he murdered had a bit of a worse relationship...

Yes, and Reeva and Oscar 😢
Brad and Angelina were always going to be a car crash. Two huge publicity hungry egos never makes for a harmonious relationship.
The kids must have had a challenging upbringing for all their wealth and privilege.

Depp and Herd weren’t too amazing either.

Tulipsareredvioletsarebue · 04/08/2024 13:16

It's not also just about big egos- they both have very explosive characters, living on the edge, I presume with lots of substances going on (both her ex husbands lead quite wild lives). I kind of think most actors, especially the very top ones, are a bit/very messed up, and I cant think of many long term couples at this stage where something fucked up would not have happened, most just manage to keep it away from the media.

There have been a lot of bad celeb break ups.

Brad is just a drug addict who'd be in jail if he wasn't rich.

Shannen Docherty's husband delaying divorce to benefit if she died before it went through was worse.

Madonna & Richie

Sandra Bullock & Jesse James

Halle Berry & Olivier Martinez

Sharon Stone

Phil Collins and that fax...

Good grief, lots more than I originally thought about. I suppose I was thinking about the fallout with children as well after being set up as god like perfection.

Mia Farrow and Woody Allen.

You need to read up on celebrity pairings, plenty are worse

Oscar Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp
OJ Simpson and Nicole Simpson
Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen

Johnny Depp and Amber Hurd

You sound like you're thoroughly revelling in it. Very strange.

TomatoSandwiches · 04/08/2024 15:54

Not the worst no.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 04/08/2024 15:55

The key to it is whatever really happened on that plane, which no one knows for sure

Tulipsareredvioletsarebue · 04/08/2024 15:58

Marie Trintignant and Bertrand Cantat...

LadyWhitwell · 04/08/2024 15:59

Alice Evans and Ioan
Amy Winehouse and her husband

It was odd to me how everything seemed to be going swimmingly for years and then fell apart when Brad and Angelina actually got married.

Ponoka7 · 04/08/2024 16:01

Jo Lo and Ben A is turning into a bit of a mess.
The children changing their names is a separate issue to Brad and Ange. He was supposedly violent.
I hate the way people think that they know them.

You sound like you're new to the world of Internet speculation. Don't go on Reddit ot Tattle. It will blow your mind

Didn’t he dump Jennifer Anniston for her? Just desserts I guess

BeautyPageantDropout · 04/08/2024 16:06

I cannot believe that their divorce still ongoing. They split up so long ago.

Heronwatcher · 04/08/2024 16:08

What about Witney and Bobby Brown? Rihanna and the one who punched her in the face? I don’t know whether Kanye was as bonkers as he is now but I suspect Kim K probably had to put up with a lot. On our side of the pond look at Boris and all his kids (sounds like all of the older ones can’t stand him), various TOWIE/ Love island couples, footballers basically living double lives with kids being used as cannon fodder to get money/ attention.

I suspect Brad and Angelina were probably about as bad as each other as partners, but she does seem to be a half-decent mother. I don’t think he seems like a monster but it does sound like he has alcohol/ addiction issues and I suspect the “unit” of Angelina and the kids turned on him once he fell out of her favour.

Oh yes, of course, that probably has impacted the children very badly.

Honestly, as time goes on I think that most people who seek out fame and showbiz must be damaged, unwell or plain bonkers.

Uh, Chris Watts?
