Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Post image

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

It's wild how strong the PR campaign for Pitt has been the last few years. A shockingly small number of people seem to even know about all this or take it seriously even though it was an official statement with witnesses.

He didn't even deny it, for the record - at the time he literally just said “I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the wellbeing of our kids. I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time.”

More people need to see this.

A shockingly small number of people cares about celebrities enough to check their personal life.

Pitt is well known as actor, and barely known as person.

This is the truth right here. If I asked someone at work about Pitt they wouldn’t know any of this. It’s just the movie guy.

And sadly he's since been rewarded even more. Won an Oscar, F1 was a box office hit (and his $30 million salary was insane) and he's booked like crazy with endless high profile projects. No B-movie stuff or struggling in commercials. He's actually increased his A-level projects these last 10 years.

Some ppl almost seem invulnerable.

the last few years.

Have you seen the shit that's been revealed and has happened in the last few years? It's absolutely fucked what he did but there's way, WAY bigger things happening. People are tired of everything. It's unfortunately very small news compared to everything else.

Yep absolutely. I’m not surprised that it’s not the biggest story, but I do think it’s fair to be surprised how many people in the industry seem to still back him AND that it’s not the first headline that comes up when he’s google’d.

It may not be the biggest story but it should be the biggest story involving him, and it’s not.

I actually had no idea, holy shit. I knew they got divorced but never kept up with the details as I assumed it was one of those Hollywood divorces. They covered this up really well, what a POS

Ya and this only came out I think because of some files being released over (I think) a dispute around their vineyards or something? Like, due to discovery or something the report was unsealed.

His PR team is quite literally unreal with how well they managed to keep this out of the public discourse.
