Cat pee has an insanely strong smell, I completely believe that it would cover the smell of rotting flesh.

Well, this is sad. I think it’s more likely that she knew and was too embarrassed to have anyone come into her home and take the remains away, so she just kept the door shut and ignored the smell.

What you don’t see can’t hurt you?

Apparently it was about Farrah Abraham’s porno

I’ve had my husband’s name discreetly tattooed on my hip since 1994, married since ‘99. It turned out ok in my case (so far) but I totally agree that it’s almost always a mistake and also I was very dumb in my youth.

Yelling and verbal aggression are not the same thing

What an odd and horrible thing to say. The story is about a teenager confronting their drunken father, and your impetus is to imagine a narrative in which the mother somehow manipulated her kid into doing so? If Brad was drunk and scary what would Angelina need, let alone want, to do to get her child involved in the…

His camp told People magazine that he was drinking a lot and he didn’t hit his child “in the face”. That’s obviously super-specific wording. ANYONE who grew up with a alcoholic parent knows exactly what happened and what has been happening here, and it’s driving me CRAZY that people are taking the “Angelina is crazy”…

I think if yelling at your kids becomes a pattern, yes, it is a problem.

Also talking out of my ass, but I doubt this was a one-off thing. Every couple fights, but I think most people try to do it when the kids aren’t around. It seems to me that you’ve already reached a point of no return if you’re yelling in front of the kids in such a manner that one of them feels the need to intervene.

Yep, people are attacking Angelina like crazy. Even a lot of the media has a slant towards her that is a bit negative. I know some people who were talking about how it didn’t sound like “physical abuse” and more like a typical “punishment.” To them, physical abuse had to be straight up punching a child or beating them…

The FBI is investigating because it happened on a plane and that is their jurisdiction. That’s the only reason.

Oh I’m sure this is the reason that from the initial story we all knew she wasn’t looking for spousal support. I’m not buying into the “Angelina controls her press to the extent of fabricating this fight”, but she did know what she was doing to avoid the fall out Amber Heard got.

My husband gets drunken giggle-fests. Like, face turns red, laughs so hard he tears up giggles. He’s not a sober giggler at all, so it’s pretty funny to see.

Yep. Domestic violence is domestic violence, and it generally follows the same patterns. The only difference is Brad has money to afford nicer alcohol and a private plane.

Before we got married my wife and I knew each other for more than 10 years. We got tattoos of each other’s initials on our finger. It’s been three years. Fingers crossed

Brad Pitt is one of the most vacuous people I have ever had the (dis)pleasure of meeting. He has no personality other than that of whatever character he is currently filming.

I think we need to wait for all the information, including the results of the investigation until we cast stones.

I dated a JAG for a while and nearly every divorce he advised on the wife filed a bunch of reports at the jump. This gave her leverage to negotiate terms. Not that this might not have happened, drunk people do shitty things, but I expect a lot of dirty laundry airing as this case unfolds.
