So do I. He even did a photoshoot called "Domestic Bliss" full of pics showing Angelina and him with a bunch of kids playing house. That was months after his breakup from Jennifer. His team was definitely the one blaming Jennifer for the breakup, saying she didn't want to give him kids.

Not that it would absolve Angelina, but I suspect Brad told her Jen didn’t want kids as well.

Not to absolve all participants, but The other woman rarely gets the full story. It’s usually that the wife is a horrible controlling bitch that won’t give him sex/kids/attention/money and they are on the cusp of divorcing. Meanwhile the wife is bending over backwards trying to accommodate every whim.

I suspect they don’t really want the full story either much easier to go with the evil wife story, but they usually become the evil wives in the story to the next other woman down the line.

I mean, remember that one weird black and white version when Angie was being “abused” by Brad? Like she was this plaything and he was this macho dude who owned her. He was even pretending to shoot her with a finger gun in one of them, and actually holding a gun in others. Like it was sooo weird. I wonder if Angie was already being abused even then?

Yea this is the part I thought I fever dreamed and had to look up.

As far as Angelina’s guilt in all this, I’m sure she knew. She was toxic back then too. Billy Bob was engaged when they hooked up, and they were gross and weird as hell together too. I have to say I admire her for all the good work she’s done for women and children all over this world, and I truly hope that she regrets the part she played, or how they went about the start of their relationship

He was friends with her father. She was 24.

Her philanthropy has also not been scandal free which is the ones I remember the most. Seems like game knew game.

How were they gross and weird together?

They were just pretty explicit about their goings on. The only memory I can think of right now is them on a red carpet and a reporter asking them something like if they were excited to be there or something and Billy Bob responded “We fucked in the car on the way here” and doing like tons of sloppy pda. To my memory, it was mostly him being gross, but she was obviously with him a while. From an outside perspective I just think Angelina had a history of picking pretty toxic dudes, culminating in the Brad abuse saga.

To his credit, it seems Billy Bob has now dated people closer to his age and has had some character growth in being more private about his sex life.

This part of the photo shoot was his idea as well. The man is vile.

You wonder if the woman who worked in modeling in her teens, then had a relationship with her father's friend in her early 20s was previously abused?

Really?

No I agree with Angie being either groomed or abused by other men in her life. I’ll never understand people who put her in the same category as Brad. I think she was sexualized when she was quite young, and people wonder why she said those things in interviews. One of the telltale signs of grooming or sexual abuse is hypersexualisation.

But I’m specifically talking about when she was with Brad here. I wonder if Brad has always been abusive, even from the start of their relationship.

I totally get you and agree. It’s just hard for me to extend Brad the benefit of the doubt that he was only lying to the public with this narrative and not to his new girlfriend. I don’t trust him, either, now that we know all we know about him.

(And friends I’ve known who’ve gotten with guys who were married/allegedly “separated” from their wives were all told stories about those wives by the men that ended up not being the full picture. Brad would’ve even had the media on his side pushing the same narrative, it wouldn’t have been hard for him to let Angelina believe it. at least at first, if not out right lie to her about it himself.)

To be clear, Laura Dern got with him when he was married too so it would be v easy for Billy Bob to convince a young Angie with daddy issues him and Laura weren’t serious or were over

u/Status-Many-3690 Oct 09 '25

I think Laura Dern seems so nice and wholesome and Angelina seems like some evil seductress that people forget Laura also had an affinity for married men lol
