It all started when Brad made that comment about Jennifer Aniston, you know, the one where he basically said that his life wasn’t that interesting when he was married to her. Which was a totally fair statement, I think, but, of course, everyone got all upset because Jennifer is supposed to be America’s sweetheart, I think, and how could he be so mean like that? And then Brad was like “no, no, what I said was interpreted all wrong, Jen is so awesome.” You’d think that would be the end of it, but no. Brad is still apologizing.
In a Today show interview that will air Thursday, the actor continued to explain why he said, “It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”
Says Pitt to Lauer: “I don’t know what was pieced together or put together. All I know is that my point was, the best thing I’d done as a father is be sure that my kids have a good mother.”
“That’s all I was, or am, trying to say,” adds Pitt. “It has no reference to the past. And I think it’s a shame that I can’t say something nice about Angie without Jen being drug in. You know, she doesn’t deserve it.”
Pitt goes on, “I don’t wanna be encumbered by any of that. I know my intentions, and I know what I believe, and I know things get misconstrued, and I know there’s a good cycle and a good story to say we’re splitting up. And then when we don’t, they say we’ve come together again, it’s another new cycle, and then there’s a secret wedding. ‘No, that was put on hold because they’re upset.’ It’s, you know, that’s– I live outside of that, and it’s much healthier.”
When Lauer asked Pitt about the statement he released to The Hollywood Reporter and other outlets clarifying his comments, Pitt says, “I don’t want them to say anything bad like that about Jen. She’s a dear friend of mine.”
It seems like Brad really is getting an insane amount of shit for seemingly saying something negative about Jennifer Aniston, and that is so bizarre to me. I mean, it’s Jennifer Aniston, it’s not like Brad Pitt rained on Taylor Swift‘s parade at the VMAs or something. He mentioned a marriage that ended six years ago. Can we let this go already?
Very gay rot
looks have something in his mouth.
i think the reason why everyone is just so upset is that when the subject comes up in EVERY single interview with Jen, she gives her opinion and answers whole-heartedly. Brad has never really given a statement on his marriage with her and neither has Angelina (not that Angie should). BUT, when the statement reads the way it does, it does come off as shocking and he seems to validate the reason why he (alledgedly) cheated on Jen with Angie…. because he was bored or whatever it was. I mean, when I read it, I was a little shocked myself. At the end of the day, the public shouldnt really give a damn. But, with as celebrity obessed as this culture is (hello, I’m an avid reader of the Beet), it does seem to be the publics business and they will comment on it AND he does sort of come off like an ass.. no matter how many kids he adopts and how many wonderful homes he rebuilds in Katrina-ravaged neighborhoods in New Orleans. But he is still hot as hell in Fight Club
I agree! You are absolutely correct. It is no ones business. They feel in love, so let it go. They are too good to be true. Hope they last (Angie and Brad).
Why did he need to mention a marriage that ended six years ago. Can he let this go already?
STONED!
Final conclusion: beware of FANGelina Jolie, being around her lowers ur IQ. Brad is the proof.
Jennifer Aniston is a very light actress.She needs to be in the public eye constantly,and the only way she can do this is to bad mouth Brad and Angelina.They never say anything bad about her,they don’t need to say anything about her at all,as they are both very accomplished actors.
Stay as nice as you are,and keep up the good work that you do all over the world.
