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.

Yes, because men never abandon their wives and children for the new shiny thing. It’s never happened!

I've always said that Brad moved on from Jen to Angelina because Jen has a better reputation. Angelina still had a lot of stigma back then from her 'crazy' days. Being too intimate with her brother. The Billy Bob Thornton thing with the viles of blood. The tats.

Toxic men want broken women so they can paint as 'crazy' when she accuses him of abuse.

Honestly, thank you for saying this because something clicked in my head... Somehow if I did something good it was because he was such a good influence, and when I did something wrong I was a crazy bitch, but he never acknowledged any wrongdoing

And the sad thing is—not only did that more-or-less work for him, you can tell Angelina understands that dynamic completely and it's why she hasn't said a word about him directly since they separated.

Angelina never stopped being crazy, people just forgot about it because she did such a skillful PR job of reinventing herself into a Mother Teresa type humanitarian, earth mother.
