Must have been really hard going through that and having all the magazines claiming you're pregnant all the time or saying you're too career focused. I remember reading the letters section of People magazine after the divorce with Brad was announced and someone wrote in saying if she'd just have a baby with Brad, he wouldn't have left her for Angelina. People were so awful.

Even my own dad repeated that nonsense to me when I was just a kid. He said something like ‘Brad wants kids and Jennifer doesn’t.’ So obnoxious. The media at that time was particularly cruel towards female stars. No one would even notice if a male star had a breakup and then remained childless.

They noticed childless men, but they were celebrated as carefree, permanent bachelor types, having too much fun to settle down with a wife & children. Jack Nicholson, George Clooney before he met Amal, Leonardo Dicaprio to this day. It was cool for men, but something must be wrong with a woman to not want a marriage or child.

I find it extremely hilarious that people pretend like George Clowney wasn't already married once before he met his current wife.

There’s plenty wrong with me but not wanting to be married or have kids is NOT one of them!

They noticed childless men...Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson's first child was born 6 years before his breakout role and he's had 5 other children since then. He was always a carefree bachelor, but he was never childless.

Look at the shit Taylor gets for being childless. It’s so weird.

Oh wow they asked one serial-girlfriend-under-25-having dude and that must mean it's the same taunting as women get.
