If there were truth in that, then shouldn't she be looked into for continuing to adopt, have their own children, and stay with him so long then? As that would make her as much to blame. If there is any truth in that, then both of them need investigating if that's the case, for the sake of those children.

Sounds like a recent development if it's true. Hence the divorce.
I doubt she'll have put up with it for years. :omgno:

If she has then it really contradicts the humanitarian in her. :worry:

I think that was denied almost instantly. She supposedly just didn't like how Strict he was as it clashed with her relaxed parenting style and felt that he was overruling her authority. I hope that's all it was anyway. I like Brad Pitt :/

That's a terrible rumour to start if it's not true, i can't think of anything worse than being accused of abusing your children

It sounds like he's a strict parent, but that doesn't mean he's abusive. And who hasn't lost it with their kids at some point? Poor sod has six :laugh:

I don't think anyone should be believing abuse rumours tbh, nobody knows the extent of what happened.

"Poor sod" shouldn't have had six if he can't cope with it. Adopting them isn't as easy to class as an accident than having them biologically.

I think they just have different parenting styles. But there's nothing wrong in someone who is a bit strict. She just has a more relaxed attitude and that's where they clash, I think..

It's open season on the rumour mill, it's a private matter between them both, it's a shame but they lasted a lot longer than most celeb couples so at least they tried rather than throwing the towel in, the marriage must have been an attempt to shore up the relationship and it didn't work sadly.

Totally Cherie,the media are being ridiculous at the minute(what's new)all hearsay and speculation,only they know what has gone wrong,they may tell us they may not,but surely they should be left alone now to deal with the fall out,they may be famous but they still deserve some kind of privacy in this,meanwhile the world is still turning.

..it must be awful with the media to go through a separation and divorce../painful enough without all of the 'celebrity' interest...and reported now to becoming really quite ugly, quite quickly for the children with 'the incident' on the plane now being said that Brad wasn't in any way abusive with their son or acting in any way, worryingly so....and him 'begging' to see the children apparently/allegedly..all just so awful for the children...:sad:...

Temporary agreement has been settled...

Brad must have ****ed up

Went to the shop in the US today to pick up some things and already they have the trollysy magazine covers... Angelina Jolie, controlling, smothering, emotionally manipulative/horrible wife... Angelina Jolie, trying to destroy Brad BIG LETTERS... bleh...

The truth is usually simpler than that. "Life" aka **** happens. People divorce. Marriages end. :shrug: If they couldn't agree on how to raise the kids during marriage then naturally it's going to be a contentious path to settling the divorce.
