00:00 Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie is throwing massive shit at Hollywood after she announced
00:04 that she is going to be leaving that place.
00:08 Angelina Jolie is done with Hollywood and is gonna leave for good after she divorces
00:13 Brad Pitt.
00:14 If you don't know, Angelina Jolie and her husband Brad Pitt have been going through
00:18 a divorce for literally 7 years now and at this point you could imagine it's been getting
00:23 pretty messy, hence the long ongoing dragged out divorce process.
00:28 Angelina Jolie is shedding light on the healing journey she and her family went through following
00:31 her and Brad Pitt's divorce.
00:33 Now Angelina Jolie is opening up a little bit more about the divorce and what's going
00:38 on behind the scenes as well as where she's at mentally and emotionally about it.
00:43 The Oscar winner and humanitarian touched on their 2016 separation in a new cover story
00:46 with WSJ Magazine.
00:48 Angelina went on to say that after her divorce she lost the ability to live and travel as
00:54 freely as she did before and she revealed that she will move as soon as she can.
01:03 Brad Pitt and Angelina, parents of 6 children, tied the knot back in 2014 after almost 10
01:09 years together.
01:10 However, their marriage abruptly ended in 2016 when Angelina filed for divorce, citing
01:16 irreconcilable differences.
01:24 This decision to end their marriage reportedly followed accusations of Brad Pitt physically
01:30 mistreating Angelina and their eldest child Maddox.
01:34 This happened during a private plane and took place in September 2016 when Maddox was just
01:41 15 years old.
01:42 Ironically, it's part of the problem.
01:48 Angelina is said to have documented the alleged plane incident in legal papers, accusing Brad
01:54 of both physical and emotional mistreatment.
01:58 This led to an FBI investigation into Brad Pitt's actions and he admitted to yelling
02:03 at his son but denied causing any physical harm to either Maddox or Angelina.
02:09 Ultimately, he was cleared of all charges.
02:13 But despite that, it still didn't fix the marriage and the alleged private plane incident
02:17 coupled with their disputes over shared assets and custody has made Angelina and Brad Pitt's
02:24 split exceptionally messy and continues to unfold publicly.
02:34 In an interview with the Wall Street Journal in December of 2023, Angelina disclosed that
02:39 once their divorce is completely finalized, she intends to leave Los Angeles.
02:46 She describes Hollywood and its surroundings as shallow and she expressed a desire to pursue
02:52 more authenticity in her life.
03:00 She just wants to be around more authentic people, authentic environment.
03:05 So for Angelina, she said that she grew up in Hollywood so she wasn't really somebody
03:08 that bought into the whole hype of going to Hollywood one day and buying into the glitz
03:14 and glamour of it all.
03:19 She would rather spend more of her time now visiting and helping refugees and traveling
03:23 to other countries and spending time with people who have really gone through tough
03:27 experiences.
03:29 People that are more down to earth and not as fake as she says the people in Hollywood
03:34 are.
03:35 Not that people in Hollywood don't go through tough times either, but just the whole Hollywood
03:41 scene has gotten boring for Angelina and the environment just isn't a place anymore that
03:46 she feels she can thrive in.
03:52 Despite her desire to leave, Angelina mentioned that due to the divorce, her ability to travel
03:57 freely has been restricted over the past few years.
04:00 And discussing her divorce more closely, Angelina revealed that she and her children have had
04:06 to go through a healing process after all of this that went down, especially in the
04:13 past few years.
04:14 It was really intense for them.
04:16 And in her own words, this is what she said.
04:18 "We had to heal.
04:20 There are things we needed to heal from."
04:23 And then when speaking about the closeness that she shares with her kids, here's what
04:27 she added.
04:28 "They are the closest people to me in my life, and they are my closest friends.
04:33 We're seven very different people, which is our strength."
04:35 Alright everybody, there you have it, Angelina Jolie is officially done with Hollywood.
04:44 It's just a matter of time now.
04:46 But with the way that this divorce is dragging on, who knows when it will ever finish.
04:50 We may see it finish in a few years, maybe it's going to drag on for another seven years.
04:55 I don't really know.
04:56 I don't think that Angelina wants to have it drag out any longer.
05:00 That's why she's speaking out a little bit more publicly.
05:02 It's like, let's get the ball rolling, kind of putting the pressure on Brad Pitt a little
05:05 bit.
05:06 Hopefully they can come to some type of settlement when it comes to assets and custody.
05:11 Both of them are phenomenally successful actors.
05:14 Both of them are extremely rich.
05:16 So as you could imagine, when you enter a marriage, you know, shared assets and everything,
05:21 trying to get that divided up and split equally.
05:24 And especially when you have so many children together.
05:28 As you could imagine, this is exhausting.
05:30 I'm sure it's an emotional roller coaster for Brad Pitt as well.
05:34 But guys, I want to know what you think about this and Angelina.
05:39 Good call for her to get out of Hollywood, just change it up completely.
05:42 Or do you not buy it?
05:43 I know some people are out there saying that they don't actually buy Angelina's side
05:46 of the story.
05:47 Brad Pitt would never mistreat her like that.
05:49 She's just trying to get money, trying to get her way, trying to have control over the
05:52 kids.
05:53 And there are some people that think that.
05:54 So I want to know what your thoughts are about this, regardless of where you fall.
05:59 Everything's open here on FTD News.
06:01 Join in on the conversation and I'll catch you guys in the next one.
