It comes from the same people who defend billionaires and the like, and for the same reason: they would 100% do the same if given the chance.

Whenever I mock these men or the internet mocks these men, it’s hilarious that every single defense doesn’t address the criticisms. Yeah, we all know these relationships are consensual and adults can do what they want. None of that addresses the fact that these men are insecure, pathetic, and sad because they won’t…

R i g h t... your final comment echoes the ancient “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” The “conclusions” of your comment are archaic myths about domestic violence & child abuse that ASSUME that women & children are liars when they say they’;ve been assaulted---& then., you pile on that “they should ahve made…

As a survivor of abuse, I don't think children should ever feel the need to protect their mother.  If Maddox felt like he needed to protect his mother from his father then his father was doing something threatening!

You seem to be confusing headlines with the legal authorities here.

From this article, quoted verbatim: “The FBI is also involved in the case but has not commented publicly on whether their evaluation of the facts in the case has been completed.”

‘cleared’ is used by the *county* in question in this context, which is…

My father was an alcoholic and there were a few moments when I was a child, where he smashed things and screamed at my mother. He was never physically violent towards her, but the sheer terror I felt in those moments never left me. I adored my dad and it’s been 2.5 years since he passed away and I grieve his loss on…

We don’t know about the Pitt-Jolie relationship. Even if this was the first time things get physical that is more than enough to show that something happened. The children also spoke about what happened. Jolie is giving her money to develop tech to better see bruising on children that aren’t white. 

I’m glad your dad stopped doing what he was doing. That said there is no way to know if Brad has changed or will change. His lawsuit over the winery seems like financial abuse to me. Many of people on this site have shitty parents, that don’t change because they don’t want to.

“...and there is no police reports [sic] or history of incidents...”

I look at it this way. If my husband ever did something like that, it would only have to occur once and the marriage would be over. That door would be closed instantly and yes, it is abusive behaviour, even though it just happens once. That does make him the abuser. And I’m sorry, but no amount of provocation would…

Way to be explicit in your expectation that a woman must be a perfect victim in order to be a victim at all.

My dad dealt with alcoholism for a lot of his life. There were times when he wasn’t a good person, easily describable as emotionally and somewhat physically abusive. I caught hands from him a few times when I misbehaved, but my mom endured the brunt of his anger issues... He came from a pretty messed up home. He’s an…

I hear this often, albeit from only the most virulent ‘Team Aniston,’ fans still hanging in after 17yrs. How Angelina went on hundreds of field missions in war torn, disease ridden countries, visiting refugee camps on behalf of the UN, donating 1/3rd of her income to philanthropic causes, and finding her son — to…

He was ‘cleared” in a very conditional way. As stated above, the FBI had enough to charge him but went along with Jolie’s suggestion that it wouldn’t be the best course for either party. Social Services didn’t charge him, but they also prevented him from having unmonitored access to any of the kids - something that…

That’s a ‘when did you stop beating your wife and 6 kids’ question, if I ever heard one.

None of what you have said is accurate. First of all, the FBI has stated they have never used the word “cleared,” in relation to this incident. In fact, a FBI agent has said there was “probable cause,” to charge Pitt. This was an in-flight altercation/attack/disturbance whatever you want to call it, in which one…

They didn’t clear him of wrong doing. They simply chose to not proceed further with criminal charges. That does not absolve him of wrongdoing, nor does it mean it didn’t happen. His people advised that he did not “hit” any of his children (note that they say “hit” when the accusation was ‘choking’, but they did…

Yeah how childish they call out a child beater, HOW VERY CHILDISH!

It’s too much work to expect someone to bother to actually look up facts that are surreptitiously hidden on dark web sites like wikipedia and imdb...

Anyone else remember Daddy complaining that his son was so depressed that he “hasn’t had steak in months”? What a garbage family.
