The internet caught on fire today after Angelina dropped a huge divorce bomb via TMZ. After 12 years of marriage she is quitting Brad's shit. What shit is that, you say? Well, according to the statement on TMZ it is his shitty parenting style.

“Angelina's decision to file has to do with the way Brad was parenting the children ... she was extremely upset with his methods. We're told there was no alleged "third person" ... her decision to file was solely over Brad's interaction with their children.”

Yikes, Brad! I'm not sure that's the whole story. Either he is a horrible monster father who is verbally, psychological, or physically abusive or this is nice little way to set up public favor on her side to get full custody of her kids. Per TMZ she only wants him to have visitation. Jinkies!  I think it's the tip of the iceberg and always felt there was a LOT going on behind the scenes that everyone was ignorant about- fighting, drugs, chaos, alcohol, infidelity. Their beautiful faces, humanitarianism, and lovely brood of children created a perfect smoke and mirrors effect.

There is, of course, immediate speculation that Brad cheated on Angie with his former co-star,  Marion Cotillard. She is so beautiful, I would probably cheat on my husband with her if she were my co-star too. Marion has a child and has been in a long term relationship with Guillaume Canet, a French actor, director, and screen writer. Page Six is reporting that Angie hired a private investigator to follow him on set, because she had her suspicions. I'm convinced that once people are cheaters, they are always cheaters, so while this isn't entirely surprising, it is only rumor at this point. Let's not drag Marion into this until we know for sure, ok?

Finally, let's talk Angelina, because this will be very important to consider while this break-up plays out. She is a public relations wizard. She's the best. You know how Beyonce keeps her shit tight with the media? Angie keeps it tighter. A friend of mine is an editor at Elle (Hi friend). When they had Angie on the cover a few years ago she had FULL control of everything. And she didn't use a publicist. Everyone had to deal directly with her, which makes her a very rare unicorn in Hollywood. Think about how frequently you see her family photographed. It's not very often and when it is, there is usually a movie or something to promote or it's a random airport shot. The Brangelina family keeps it locked down in stealth mode otherwise. So when celebrities tell you they are hunted by the paparazzi, remind them about Angie and her team of children who, for the most part, flit around the world unphotographed. So back to Angie and the no publicist thing. I'm not sure if she has one now. She has a very famous divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser. Laura was most recently Johnny Depp's lawyer for his divorce. TMZ had a lot of pro-Johnny posts at that time. TMZ released the Brange divorce statement. Coincidence? Unlikely. I would expect that most of their "quotes" about the Brange divorce have been stamped with approval by Angie herself. Again- she keeps that shit TIGHT, guys. Tighter than Lindsey Vonn's ass.

Stay tuned for more. From here on out, I'm going to trust TMZ as the place to get information from Angie's point of view about this divorce. Remember that there are always two sides to every store so it will be interesting to see how Brad plays defense. While I always want a marriage to succeed, especially when there are kids involved, I also enjoy a good celebrity divorce. #blogfodder
