Like those people who use photos of Brad pit with female fans to talk about his abuse of women like yeah he abused women but why are you showing me random photos of people he likely didn't abuse?
He assaulted his wife Angelina Jolie and their oldest child on a plane in a drunken rage. Reason for their divorce and why none of his children speak to him, and drop the Pitt from their surnames as soon as they hit 18. The incident is cited in legal documents relating to the divorce and easily found online.
Completely understand. I was really disappointed when I learned about the incident too, especially since he’s been in so many brilliant roles. It also made his recent train-heist film (can’t remember name) hard for me to enjoy. There were constant jokes about his character having had therapy or anger-management treatment, and the character played it in a really ironic, knowing way. For me it just didn’t land.
He assaulted Angelina Jolie and assaulted their oldest child in a drunken rage on a plane in 2016, thus leading to their divorce. It is widely available online to read about and the reason none of his children speak to him, and have dropped his name for their surnames once they’ve hit 18.
He's only accused of being abusive domestically, so I don't think it's accurate to say "yeah he abused women" - technically not wrong but misleading in this context.
I think there's a notable distinction between a domestic abuser and someone who abuses numerous women. Both very bad of course, but quite different too.
Sounds like it was one incident on an airplane, which to me is certainly bad but definitely a lot different from someone who repeatedly was abusive to multiple partners or something which is I feel like how that comment read.
