Apparently this is the result of Jolie finding out that Pitt was having an affair with Marion Cotillard… who Pitt was staring in a movie with where they both play spies that fall in love (Allied)… I don’t think anyone could have made that up. Also on Cotillard’s wiki page… until someone cleans it up: “Marion also ruined the lives of 128 African child refugees by destroying the marriage of philanthropist Angelina Jolie and famed actor Brad Pitt.” > **[Marion Cotillard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Cotillard)** > > Marion Cotillard (French: \[maʁjɔ̃ kɔtijaʁ\] (listen); born 30 September 1975) is a French actress.

Huh, I’m pretty sure I just read somewhere the reason was he smokes too much weed and drinks too much, leading to questionable parenting. She seeks no joint custody only visitation for him, for the same reason. (Sorry, don’t remember where exactly I read it. I’m sure it’s little more than rumour most likely. Like everything out there, unconfirmed!) ---

An unarmed black father of four was driving home from college when his car broke down. The police showed up and shot him while both of his hands were in the air. This was all caught on video, which you can easily watch on the Internet. But instead, no, none of you will do that. You will instead focus on the fact that a celebrity couple is going through a divorce. Fuck you.” :eek: ---

The link is not to the Today Show, nor is the Today Show mentioned in the “article”. Also, I can find no other site that confirms that she said any of the above. And if you look at other articles on the site, it’s clearly a poor man’s Onion. ---

Aniston would never say something that political. If she’s smart, she’s already boarded a spaceship to Pluto where she won’t have to answer questions about this. ---
