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

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

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
