Although Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were posing happily on the red carpet at Cannes just a couple of hours ago, reports have it that they’re just putting on a show for the sake of Brad’s latest film, “Inglourious Basterds,” which just opened at the film festival. According to investigative journalist Ian Halperin writing for
ianundercover, the relationship the two have is now practically non-existent, with Angie even threatening to take her own life on more than one occasion.
US tabloids seem to have long agreed that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are
already living separate lives but, as fans must know, tabs are not always the most reliable source. Still, what Halperin says would come to corroborate earlier rumors, as to how the romance is
practically dead. As a matter of fact, he says, Angelina has started to resort to the cheapest trick in the book to keep Brad close by, that of threatening to take her own life.
Moreover, Halperin explains in a recent post, Angelina has even added an extra dash of drama to the whole situation when, after yet another massive row with Brad, she went ahead and wrote a suicide note to make him see that she meant serious business. “IUC has learned Angelina Jolie threatened to kill herself multiple times after a row with Brad Pitt a couple [of] weeks back. According to a source close to Angie, the Oscar winning actress started writing a suicide note. ‘Things have not been good,’ the source said. ‘A couple [of] weeks ago they had a massive argument. Angelina threatened to kill herself over it. It was very ugly. I have never seen her look so frail and desperate. The kids were within earshot. I’d be amazed if Angie poses on the red carpet with Brad at Cannes. For that performance alone she would deserve and Oscar.’ Developing…” Halperin writes, citing his unnamed but reportedly reliable source.
Since Angelina did pose on the red carpet with Brad ever since the above allegations were made, some have jumped to the conclusion that the two are trying to brave this for the sake of Brad’s career. In other words, once Pitt is done with promoting “Inglourious Basterds,” fans should expect to see him move out of the house he shares with Angelina, or the other way around.
Or, one must add, fans might as well see the two continue living their lives as before, because this could very well be just a rumor. Keep an eye on this space to see what becomes of this one.
