15 opinions for Angelina on iVillage

  I think that there are those people (woman) who are always going to have a negative opinion about Angelina/Angelina & Brad, and mainly because of their own personal experience with a relationship that “they” felt was disrupted/ended because of another person entering the picture.

  I guess I’m rare in that I don’t believe Angelina Jolie factored that much into the issues that brought Aniston-Pitt to the breaking point. I believe he had moved on emotionally midway through meeting her, but the groundwork that led to the divorce had been laid long before.

  I also suppose I’m rare in not simply believing, but knowing (in my heart of hearts) that Angelina’s inner workings were in the process of change long before Brad came along, and that credit first goes to her witnessing life outside herself via Cambodia, and then the most important credit goes to the other man in her life, her son Maddox. She adopted him, and almost overnight this new creature emerged. She became more elegant, less about self, more subdued, more private, more humble, less flamboyant. She grew up. She evolved. Her priorities shifted, and she climbed out of the box that even some of her fans want to keep her in let alone those who dislike her.

  Some will alway refuse to see her as anything other than Angelina Jolie the “brother kissing, bi-curious, self-mutilating, blood under glass on a chain wearing, manstealing vixen”, and there’s nothing that can be done about that. I pat her on her back for getting on with living her life on her terms, one of which I’m 100% certain ISN’T as a woman whose wings have been clipped by Brad Pitt.

  Sorry for the length, but that iVillage ticked me off, and I had to vent.

  It ticked me off too, and you did a very eloquent job in explaining why. There is something extremely special about Angelina that is intimidating and will always be to some people. Surprises me that iVillage would take that stance, but who knows. Thanks bamz. :) Have a great weekend if I don’t see you again!

  bamz9LOVE, again your eloquency baffles me completely! Very good indeed! I concur with you, the woman they are trying to put down on that article IS NOT Angelina Jolie. She has changed, she has matured, her son Maddoz was the catalist of that changing, she herself said so. She has other priorities in her life, which as a matter of fact are similar to Brad´s. And that makes a couple, a tight one who will fight to keep together no matter where the haters come from.

  Also, I think Angelina was also a misconceived person, very much in the past. You know how are the tabs, pick someone who happens to be honest about her life and unleash the hell of it.

  I’ve always thought she was cool, and over the top, and I generally like that quality in a person. And I think she knows how to work the media, and did it perfectly. Loved her then-love her now. Probably more now just because I can see Brad wherever she is. Yum!

  All I can say is I have never given much credence to what iVillage tends to write. Most of the ‘examples’ they cite have all been printed in one tabloid or another which tells you about how credible their sources are. Brad found a partner that complements him much better (and vice versa), it really appears that he and Aniston were growing apart long before Angelina came along. I can’t wait to see where they finally settle down in France. What an adorable family!

  I so totally agree with you all. I always liked Angelina, even back in her wild days. She’s always been true to self regardless to what others thought or expected. When I turn back the pages in my own life, I find it hard to believe I said, did, and thought, as I did. You live, learn, laugh and love and b4 you know it - you’re a bonafide adult. As for iVillager…..just a bunch of Haters. What truly went wrong between Brad and Jen, we’ll probably never know. I sure am glad the kids can’t read. Like I said before, “I totally agree with you all” - just needed to add my own 2cents.

  I read this more later but I really dont think this article is far off….but I do think people can change but you are who you are ……..Angelina is just open with herself and is comfortable with who she is ..sexually as well………maybe she is ready to settle down……..but honestly Brad is a sounthern boy …….thru and thru …..and Angelina ……….well she is who she is ..thats what makes her have that edge…..and I did not take that article to be a attack on them as a couple…….but as I said I will read this more later ……people can change …yes ……I think so ……but as I have stated before Angelina is a independant women and answers to nooone….marraige and relationships take alot of work…….so only time will tell where life takes this two…..I mean honestly everyone thought Brad and his ex looked like the perfect couple…….and the list goes on and on with couples in Hollywood and life……stuff happens and couples break up and those left standing actually worked at it to stay together…….we cant be in everyones mind and you cant begin to imagine what is going on with them behind close doors…..this is life….unfortantly…but for now they are a couple and they have chosen each other ……that is today …..what tomorrow brings noone will know…….excuse any spelling I am in a hurry….

  Nikki - you´re right there: we´ll never know what happened. I think many people like to say it was because JA didn´t want kids, Brad denied that was the cause, and honestly I don´t think you´re entitled to know what happened. It just didn´t work, like many marriages, unfortunately.

  Laura - you´re realist like myself. As much as I´d like this to last forever and hoping for the best, I can´t state that, nobody can, not even Brad and ngie themselves… but what really gives me hope is to see they have completelly commited to eachother and with the prospect of building a true family. I remmeber Angeline stating she would love to have a family, as she didn´t have one: it was only her mom, she and her brother since she was 1 year old (her dad divorced her mom by that time I believe…), so in many ways, these two are here for the long haul. Let´s hope it will be forever. :)

  All your comments are true to anybody’s life stages.While watching the doocumentary of M/M Smith, one of the prooducer’s, Lucas Foster mentioned that this movie M/M Smith was sort of a therapy for the stars and the crew, the other producer Akiva, Angie who was recently divorced, Brad who is having problems with his marriage, and they joked that only Simon (the writer of M/M Smith) was happily married at that time and they were sick of him since he is the only one who was happily married. So there you go, making this film was a god send. Then when Diane Sawyer interviewed Brad after a few months. Remember when she asked Brad the personal question regarding Jennifer. Brad simply said. “I think people are expecting my marriage to be flawless.” And let me just repeat this to The Aniston Team. Jennifer filed for divorce which says “irreconcilable differences”
  not “adultery.”
