Angelina Jolie will have no other person, male or female, counsel longtime partner and fiancé Brad Pitt on matters as important as money, career choices, or personal life. So, because he seemed to be relying a bit too much on a spiritual guru when making certain decisions, she had Brad fire him.

The National Enquirer writes in its latest print edition (story via Radar Online) that Angelina drew the line when she saw with her own eyes just how much LA-based guru Ron Bard was interfering in all matters from Brad’s life.

According to the report, which cites the usual unnamed but reliable sources, this is the same psychic advisor that also urged Brad to divorce Jennifer Aniston, when he became involved with Jolie on the set of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” even though he was a married man at the time.

“Ron advised Brad to get divorced from Jennifer Aniston,” says the spy. “He was very blunt about it, and Brad really listens to Ron.”

The tab doesn’t say it outright, but if you read between the lines, you know what that means: Angelina Jolie “must” be terrified that Bard will ruin her family just like he did with Aniston’s, by telling Brad to dump her.

So, because that’s not a risk she’s willing to take, she’s removing him from the picture completely. Another risk she’s not taking with this guru (who has apparently advised Pitt on “professional, spiritual and romantic” matters) is that of having him tell her fiancé what to do with his hard-earned money.

“It seems like she likes to have some control over Brad’s purse strings, and she doesn’t want a psychic giving ‘financial advice’ to him. She doesn’t like anybody in Brad’s ear,” the tipster explains. Apparently, Angelina only realized the extent of Bard’s involvement in Brad’s life when he (Bard) offered to do her readings as well.

Again, if you read between the lines of this report, you will notice several strong hints at how controlling and ultimately gratuitously mean Jolie is, but think of it this way: if you saw your partner receiving important advice from someone you though was fishy and didn’t entirely trust, for one reason or another, would you not warn them of the dangers? And maybe even “put your foot down” when they disagreed?

Would you not tell them to seek counseling from a professional or, even better, to confide in you as their better half? If your answer to all these questions is “yes,” then you would have done just like Jolie supposedly did.
