A decade of togetherness with Angelina Jolie and their six children was a joy and delight for Brad Pitt as well as for all his fans. The current divorce has not only ripped his family apart, but has even made both of them out to be villains, according to media sources.
The latest news says that Pitt has very few buddies left to turn to. "Brad (Pitt) has really lost almost all his friends during his time with Angie (Jolie)," a source told HollywoodLife.com
The culprit has been made out to be Angelina Jolie. "She was a loner who didn't really like to socialize with his group of friends."
Earlier, Angelina got some flak from his friends: "I really hope that he reaches back out because there are a lot of us who haven't seen him in 10 years, and it was hard then," said Melissa Etheridge, his good pal. "We all lost a friend."
It is puzzling, though, that Pitt listened to his wife, instead of trying to hang out with his friends. The source confirms: "Brad was totally infatuated with Angie from the get-go and would do whatever she asked," the insider explained. "She really wasn't into hanging out with his friends so Brad followed her lead and lost touch with many of them."
Now that really seems to be a rather laughable tidbit from an uxorious novel. Being adult, successful and surrounded by six children to parent, why would Brad Pitt not party with his friends if he wanted to?
Moreover, Pitt has not lost his friends' circle. Many of them are grieving for him and supporting him. His best friend, George Clooney, is still soothing and advising.
There are some simple explanations for everything. The divorce is a complicated, messy riddle, but Pitt's "friendlessness" can be easily explained. Brad Pitt has a loving and loyal partner, who wouldn't really have the time or the inclination to make him lonely. Secondly, being a father of six lovely children, he simply would not have had the urge or energy to hang out with friends. And thirdly, he would have gone past the age of needing to do so too.
The media might be fishing in troubled waters and becoming either bashers or pop counsellors for the couple. However, it would be beneficial - for their children, the couple and even for the media - if the two got back together and created loving, instead of conflicting news.
