Apple Juice Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Angelina Jolie files for divorce from Brad Pitt after 12 years together Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, her attorney has said. “This decision was made for the health of the family. She will not be commenting, and asks that the family be given its privacy at this time,” Robert Offer said in a statement on Tuesday. According to the website TMZ.com, which first reported the story, the actor and director cited irreconcilable differences as the cause for the split. The couple have been together since 2005 and married in 2014. Jolie has reportedly asked for physical custody of their six children, with Pitt allowed visitation rights. She is not asking for spousal support. The date of separation is listed as 15 September. In a statement to People magazine, Pitt said: “I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the wellbeing of our kids. I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time.” They originally met on the set of the action comedy Mr and Mrs Smith and were also seen on screen together in 2015’s By the Sea, a drama about an ailing marriage, written and directed by Jolie. While Mr and Mrs Smith was warmly received by critics and a commercial hit, making $478m worldwide, By the Sea was less of a success. The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw called it “indulgent” and it made $3.3m at the box office. Despite the film’s focus on relationship problems, Jolie was quick to deny it was a reflection of their marriage. “Brad and I have our issues, but if the characters were even remotely close to our problems we couldn’t have made the film,” she told the Telegraph. “To be clear: we have fights and problems like any other couple. We have days when we drive each other absolutely mad and want space, but the problems in the movie aren’t our specific problems.” Jolie was previously married to the actor Jonny Lee Miller after meeting on the set of Hackers in 1996 and Billy Bob Thornton after the pair made Pushing Tin in 1999. The actor vehemently denied that she began an affair with Pitt when they worked together as he was still married to Jennifer Aniston. “To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive,” she said. “I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.” Rumours of a split have been circulating since 2010, when they successfully sued the News of the World after false allegations that they were separating. Pitt will next be seen in Allied, a thriller about the second world war, alongside Marion Cotillard while Jolie is working on Netflix documentary First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/sep/20/angelina-jolie-files-for-divorce-brad-pitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jägermeister Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Oh no how will I go on! I actually find it kind of sad how fixated some people are with celebrities lives. Actually creeped out may be a better term than sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Good. I always liked Angelina. Perhaps I'll snag her up for myself. If Brad doesn't like that, he can come fight me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLASSJAW Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Angelina Jolie must be one of the most privileged women on this planet. Got into show business by having a famous father and by being pretty, made horrible movie after horrible movie, yet still managed to make headlines because she married famous men, all the while continuing to make horrendous movies.
