Angelina Jolie Reveals How She Seduced Brad Pitt
December 26, 2006 by Gayla McCord
Angelina Jolie recently granted an in-depth interview with Vogue magazine. Personally, I’ve walked away from reading the interview thinking Jolie is a much bigger whack job than I ever imagined.
Here’s some of what she had to say and my personal opinions (hereinafter referred to as CA):
Jolie: Jolie claims she never wanted to ruin Pitt’s marriage to actress Jennifer Aniston — it just happened that way.
CA: People know when ’something’ is happening and when they should walk away or strengthen those barriers to prevent something unethical from happening. Jolie and Pitt HAD to have known what they were doing and could have done anything at any time to stop IF they’d wanted to.
Jolie: “I didn’t know much about exactly where Brad was in his personal life [when they met on the set of "Smith"]. But it was clear he was with his best friend, someone he loves and respects”
CA: Thus the challenge that obviously fueled Jolie’s pursuit of Pitt or visa versa – one is just as guilty as the other.
Jolie: Jolie said she has only briefly met Aniston and would gladly sit down with her — but only of the “Friends” star asked to do so.
CA: Ummm Why? How many of you would want to sit down with the person that destroyed your marriage?
Jolie: “We both have been married before, so it’s not marriage that’s necessarily kept some people together.
“We are legally bound to our children, not to each other, and I think that’s the most important thing,” she said.
CA: Seems to me that it’s ‘marriage’ that Pitt and Jolie run from or that serves as an excuse to see other people.
Jolie: “I don’t trust anyone,” Jolie admitted.
“I don’t think it’s a good thing. This is going to make you think that maybe I should get some therapy, but trust is such a bizarre word. I’d like to say that I trust my mother, but I also don’t know if she might do something that she thinks is in my best interest.
Still, “I trust Brad will never do anything,” she said.
But after a few moments, Jolie then added, “I don’t know. I don’t trust anybody completely.”
CA: Therein lies the answer as to whether she broke up the marriage of Pitt and Aniston – as far as I’m concerned.
Jolie likely realizes that ANY man that can be taken away from one woman, could just as easily be taken away from her.
Jolie: “I’m not a hugger. People make fun of me. It’s something that I have a hard time with. If someone hugs me, I hold my breath. Snuggling, cuddling, hugging, crying … all that stuff makes me very uncomfortable.”
Except when it comes to her kids, the star said.
“Oh, I love hugging my kids,” she quickly added. “It’s a different thing because you feel such a genuine grab from them.”
CA: This probably explains why Pitt is so drawn to her – you know, the unobtainable fruit? It’s just about as cliche’ as it can get – it’s all about the quest.
Jolie: Jolie’s next big flick will be portraying the wife of murdered journalist Daniel Pearl in “A Mighty Heart.” It was a role that Aniston had once said she would “love” to play.
CA: Nothing like keeping that salt in those open wounds. Anyone with an ounce of moral fiber or compassion wouldn’t keep these things going in such a catty way.
Jolie: Jolie said it was her children — basically Maddox — who ultimately cemented her relationship with Pitt as a family.
One day, Maddox “just out of the blue called him Dad,” she said. “It was amazing. We were playing with cars on the floor of a hotel room, and we both heard it and didn’t say anything and just looked at each other.
“So that was probably the most defining moment, when he decided that we would all be a family,” she said.
CA: As a parent, I can’t help but believe that this is something that was ‘planted’ in the mind of that child. He was used as a decoy to lure in the prey – a completely manipulated twist of fate.
Final Thoughts:
Perhaps in time, I’ll grow to respect the Jolie-Pitt pairing, at this point, I haven’t an ounce of respect to spare on Jolie. Had things played out differently and had Pitt and Aniston TRULY split BEFORE the Jolie- Pitt flames ignited, I would have more compassion. However, I have to think of the example that she’s setting.
It’s ok to discount your morals and values in one area as long as you adopt the children of the world and feed some of the hungry.
Marriage is a sacred union between two people that should not be messed with. Kind of like Texas!
Whatever…loser…it’s probably Brad Pitt who decided to walk off, seeing that he’s a man and not many men will stay with one woman (especially if it’s someone like Aniston) all their lives, so he took the opportunity to run off with Angelina, making it seem like she’s the one who started it all and that he’s not at all to blame in it. She didn’t want to ruin the marriage right, why should it be her fault? Logically it’s not ONLY HER FAULT, it’s also Brad Pitt’s fault because he actually left Aniston to go with Jolie. He did something, it’s not like he’s a puppet and that Angelina controlled him. He walked off.
Everyone needs to stop with this nonsense. Brad and Jennifer were over before this all began. Their marriage was already crumbling, they had different goals and interests. This shit happens every day to “normal” people so stop judging Angelia OR Brad already.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, certainly. If Angelina didn’t pursue Brad in a way that could be considered “cheating” then why would she be so reluctant to trust him now?
Angelina admits herself that she’s a freak of sorts. Why is it such a shock that I happen to agree with her?
I think that Angelina is crazy and I agree with all your thoughts. I understand that Pitt and Jolie are both beautiful and human, but I don’t like how the world has just overlooked the fact that they are adulterers and only look at what great humanitarians they are. It’s sick. I feel bad for the children having such a crazy mother.
Can we let this rest already? Whatever damage was done is DONE! I feel for Jen who has to constantly be considered the victim in this. I mean they have been together a few years now. Move ON and let Jen do the same.
There has been a lot of damage done, but it’s certainly not over – Angelina offering up comments such as “she’d be happy to meet with Aniston” is keeping it going.
Imagine how you’d feel if your ex and his new thang were being flaunted in your face all the time – and sending you messages through the media.
It’s really not over until the fat lady sings LOL
Until that time – I’m on Jen’s team. I think she’s carrying herself with grace and tact – whereas Jolie is getting her jollies by rubbing salt in the open wounds.
Love is real when it is submissive, and patient, to remain focused and committed. It stays stronger and enduring when untouchable by challenges and trials, somethingb tested by time. If any of these values are not there, the trust and respect it should deserve can be vulnerable. It takes 2 to have them all.
Brad & Jen are the only ones who can judge themselves regarding the measures of love they once had.
We see the result of such judgement now. Angelina is right, ” she did not steal Brad from Jen,” because before she even came in the picture, Brad had been gone from Jen. Brad could be only playing it descent between him and Jen. Angelina then came into Brad’s life at the right time, if we based it on the gap Jen & Brad have had in their lovelife, but at the wrong time based upon the legal status of Brad then.
Now that Brad is slowly putting things in better places for him and Angelina, and Angelina doing the same, Love grows stronger as time goes by for them.
Congratulations, you are adorable normal, couple ! Something rare in Hollywood !
We look forward to the time you both say, time to grandly celebrate your love……Get Married !
Angelina, I suggest that you don’t worry about Jen’s feelings, or impressions anymore. You have nothing to be worried and guilty about. What happened between Brad & Jen is someting inevitable. They will surely separate with or without you.
Brad is lucky with you and you are too with him, so don’t waste that fortune by turning back the hands of time thinking about Jen.
Enjoy your family and give Brad the chance to prove to you how much he loves you as you love him.

Here’s my personal opinion, Angelina in onlya matter of short time she spent with Brad, she handed him the legal rigthts to her children. she also says that she still does not fully trust him… but heres my kids! way to go jolie, get your man, by any means.

Nina, I wish more people had common sense like you. And, don’t worry about your English, I understood everything
This whole break-up thing isn’t Angelina’s fault.Most of it is Brad’s because if he really did love Jennifer he would of set the records straight with Angelina.But any mature man will fall for Angelina more than Jennifer.Angelina have looks,and unfortunately Jenifer doesn’t.At least we can say Brad Pitt has taste.Did you notice the way he looked at angie in Mr. & Mrs. Smith.You could of tell thst was ‘LOVE’.
nINA YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL.eVEN WHEN YOU ARE TRING TO CORRECT YOURSELF YOU ARE STILL AN ASS AT CORRECTING YOURSELF.aND I DISAGREE WITH YOU 100%.aND PLEASE HIS NAME IS MADDOX.
Angelina Jolie has had a bad habit of getting hooked up with her co-stars — both male and female. Billy Bob Thorton was engaged when she batted her eyeballs at him. Brad’s no better — he’s nothing but a shadow of a man. He doesn’t stay with any woman for too, too long — and he becomes what the woman likes — just look at Julianne Lewis, Gwynneth, Jennifer (he straked his hair to match hers for the wedding, for goodness’ sake), and now Angelina. I think one or the other will tire of the other within a few years — children or no — and they’ll go onto the “next big thing”. They’re both slimes.
Angie is a HO! We all know that she can’t be trusted. Anyone notice that she has absolutely NO girl friends and why is that…because she’s a tramp. I hate Angie and I can’t wait till these two break up. I will have a party for sure. Jennifer reminds us ladies what it is to be classy and turn the other cheek. And I will do just that when chosing which movie ticket to purchase and my movie choice sure as hell will not have Angie in it. Angie has a bad rep in Hollywood for being a tramp and she just proves that to us daily. Thank goodness Brad’s folks don’t have to look at her at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Angie know it too which is why she punished Brad and forces him to travel abrood during what should be extended family times. These poor kids! I wonder who will gain custody. Throw Angie a bone already…she’s a dog!!!

Oh my god NINA- get yourself some remedial English instruction girlfriend.
You couldn’t articulate a coherent thought to save your life.
Leslie, you are so dumb and ignorant. It’s clear that English to not Nina’s native tongue. Give her some credit for trying.
Tammy, Angelina is a whore who is simply using her humanitarian work to repair her image. Her adopted children are paraded for PR purposes, while her biological child is protected.
Lala,
Evidently English is not your native tongue either as you too seem not to be write a clear sentence. No credit for sloppy commentary. Try practicing writing about things that matter. Honestly, why should anyone even care about these strangers?
Get lives peeps!

Look, the bottom line is this…Brad was not happy>>
A person cannot break up a happy marriage- no matter what…Clearly brad was feeling unhappy and he wanted out..who can blame him..if you are not happy then,you’re not going to be 10yrs from now….We have no idea what caused the rift between Brad and Jennifer…Hell,Jennifer is not my fav..actor..But i think she really loved him…THat is what i think..who’s to say if she really did love him -and if she made him feel loved…
He left and he found someone with similar likes..Wanting to make a considerable change in the world and to have a family life..to have kids …who can blame the man…I say,Good for you Brad …You are finally happy and you deserve all the happinest life has to offer…I really believe that Angelina loves him…So what to hate…
And please stop bashing Angelina..None of you know her personally..And you never will…None of you are in her league..so move on…By saying such rude and misleading things..It only makes you sound stupid..and envious of the woman..Look, not everyone can be as beautiful,rich and talented -and have a good looking man like Brad pitt ..as Angelina..Ok…That’s life!
i find it pathetic how you ppl spend so much time on this website that you begin arguing w/ other website obsessors. i agree w/ nic. if brad and jennifer were happy angelina would not have come between them. we don’t know all the facts on the whole breakup so we shouldn’t cast judgement. bottomline.
angie and brad are a great couple! and 4 all of u that dont like angie! get a life! shes a great woman! and she loves brad! and brad loves hes! so leave them alone! let them be happy with their kids!

Now don’t get me wrong here. I’m just stating facts about Angelina Jolie. These are facts people. Angie ran off and married Billy Bob Thorton who was engaged with another woman and had purchased a home with her (Laura Dern) only one week before he ran off with her. Are you aware that Angie apparently didn’t like Laura? Are you aware that Angie apparently didn’t like Jennifer Aniston as well? Ya…you probably didn’t know that but it’s true. The tables are turning people and it’s Angie’s turn to feel the burn and humiliation for being a homewrecker. Just a little more time please to prove to you that I’m right. Angie is a diva and doesn’t care about morals (unless you’re from Africa of course…then she will care about you if you are dirt poor and no threat to her). Wake up and get wise already! She’s a joke and her new movie which she stole from Jen flopped. Talk about Poetic Justice…Cheers! I’m not jealous of Angie. Jealous of what…her ugly tattoos, her duck sized inflated lips, her apparently stinky feminine parts (compliments of her lesbo lover), her scars from cutting herself, her previous love for heroine, her rep for being a total homewrecker sleezbag. Come on! I just believe in Justice for the wronged. And anyone with intelligence knows that Jen didn’t deserve this. Jen has a rep for being a sweetheart. Hence her immaculate attitude since her weak husband was seduced by Angie. The girl who has admitted that she finds it stimulating to seduce taken men. Goodness…what a mutt!
WHAT EVER JENIFER’S FAN SAY. I IGNORE IT. I STILL LOVE ANGELINA JOLIE. SHE IS MY STAR. I LOVE HER. DON’T BLAME HER. IF IT WERE YOU. I THINK YOU GRAPS BRAD RIGHT AWAY. YOU GUYS ARE HYPOCRITE. TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN. BRAD IS THE ONE TO DICIDED TO LEAVE YOUR MANISTON. IF THEIR MARRIAGE HARD,STRONG LIKE STONE. NOBODY CAN’T BREAK IT.
It is never one person’s fault entirely, in any matter of marrige/divorce.
I agree that Angelina is no victim, and knew what she was doing, in attracting Brad. However, she had nothing to lose either. From past behaviours previously mentioned on this board (drug use, cutting, confused sexual preference/identity, several relationships, etc..) it is very evident that Ms. Jolie has very little confidence and esteem. She is seeking out an identity and acting out in the course of finding herself. It would not mean anything, to someone who has no respect for herself, to flirt/sleep with another woman’s husband. She wouldn’t get that.
Oddly enough, she and her father, have not had contact for years, because she blames him for leaving her mother, interestingly enough, for another woman. It’s interesting she does not see the hypocrisy in holding that against her father, when she has done it on at least 2 occasions. However, again, her lack of self awareness or perhaps she is aware and like father like daughter???
In any event, Brad is the one who was married (whether happily or not) and he is the one who owed his wife respect, loyalty and descency, of which he clearly has not shown. Angelina, regardless of her role, owed Jennifer nothing, Brad did. And he failed, yet again.
In the end, it happened, and will happen again today and tomorrow and the next day. Hopefully, what goes around comes around soon
In the recent Vanity Fair magazine Joli said that she hated her father because he left her mother for another actress while on set. Looks like Anjelina did the same thing with seducing Brad from Jenn. Then she does charity work to make it all better?
Oh and way to go Nina for being brave with writing in English. I understood everything you had to say and you make a clear point.
Nina seems rude to me.
I meant Leslie seems rude to me, oops, sorry Nina
Brad is just a weak man. the cowardly way of ending it with his (then) wife Jennifer…. scape goating it on another woman. Humans make mistakes, but i surely dont encourage Angie’s behaviour. its written that woe to the person who comes between a man & wife. in time sadly, Angie will pay for this in someway. She is a tormented woman who can never fully let up or enjoy something b/c she’s always fearing or expecting negative things.
Jennifer on the other hand may not realize it at the time that Brad leaving may very well have been a blessing in disguise. Brad was bored with her obviously. that man has been looking for a way out & simply found it in Angie. i personally think that all those children will overwhelm him in time. Secondly Angie is a conniving woman. it is in her blood to seek revenge on many people for the unhappiness she has encountered in her earlier years.
I personally wouldnt feel comfertable knowing that I am encouraging a married man to cheat with me & simply be content with it. yuck.
i dont buy any of it. maybe they will last. may be they wont.
I’m writing from Italy and I must say that I have never in my life seen such hatred words on people that you don’t even know or are part of your lives. Are you all adults or kids??? Are you mothers? This is really terrible and the worst is that the admin lets you guys make opinons!!! Marriages finish every flipping days. These guys are human. Stop hagging and naggin and live your own lives!!!!
