Brad’s still claiming he didn’t call his marriage to Jen uninteresting. But all you have to do is read his statement to see that’s exactly what he said!
Brad Pitt is trying hard to get people to reinterpret his recent horrible remarks about his former marriage to Jennifer Aniston. In an interview with Parade magazine, Brad called his marriage uninteresting and blamed his “pathetic” life in the “90s” on the union. But now, Brad keeps saying that everyone misread his words!
“That was never my intention for it to be spun that way,” he told People magazine at his Moneyball premiere in Oakland, Calif. on Sept. 19. “People read things into it that just weren’t there.”
This is the second time Brad has said that his statement about Jen and their marriage was misinterpreted. On Sept. 15, Brad issued a statement suggesting the exact same thing. “It grieves me that this was interpreted this way. Jen is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend,” he said. “It is an important relationship I value greatly. The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself – and that, I am responsible for.”
But Brad dissed Jen, plain and simple. “I spent the ‘90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out,” Brad told Parade . “It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage [to Jennifer] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”
What exactly were we reading into? You said your marriage wasn’t interesting! It’s hard to misconstrue what you said!
BFFs — do you think Brad’s words about Jen were misinterpreted?

I’d say, for someone who claims to have been bored during the whole period of his marriage, he looked positively glowing, comfortable and relaxed in his own skin in 2000–2005. He has never looked that way since the beginning of his “more interesting” phase with Angelina Jolie. Pictures don’t lie and I’m sure that when they were taken, Pitt hardly knew he would have to deny his happiness only five years later in order to justify his new relationship with Jolie. It doesn’t matter whether he loved Aniston or not, he simply looked a lot happier! Maybe he derived his happiness from his then lifestyle – I don’t know. What I know, though, is he’s never beamed since then.

Let’s be fair, JA has called Angelina “uncool” and childishly mocked Brad with the “Billy Idol wants his hair back” comments. You know that she’s been harping about Brangie to that Chelsea H. who cowardly and derogatorily made racist “jokes” about their innocent kids and famously called Angie a “c***” on her show. Yeah, Aniston clearly wants to move on so badly!!! Brad is justified and extremely kind in his comments even if he didn’t retract them.

Brad also said, just last year in Paris, when asked if his beard and scruffy look were for a new role, replied: “No, I’m just bored.”
So I guess he’s still bored and still pretending with Angelina as well.
Only he’s not as good at pretending – as he hasn’t looked happy since he hooked up with Jolie.

What is happening with that guy? Will he spend all the premiere season talking about his marriage with Jen, now?. 05 years silence and now we have to read about that. Why?
Brad: Leave Jennifer ALONE!!!

Ok, saying that life with Jen was dull was pretty low, but, at least she’s not his current wife. But no one seems to notice that in the same interview he says, when asked if he was happy: happiness is over-rated, I am content. So, bottom line: He’s not happy with Angie. If I were her, I’d be SO PISSED. No one else found that weird?

Seriously, the guy has no been apart from JA longer than he was with her, but everybody is still intent on asking him about the divorce. I don’t think people will be satisfied until he says he left JA for AJ, which is crazy. Even if he had started a relationship with AJ while still married to JA, he didn’t leave JA because of it. There would have been no new relationship had his marriage been good and intact. With that said, he did not “diss” JA. He simply said that he felt his life was uninteresting during that marriage. Is that so bad? Guess what, it takes two people to make a marriage work and two people to make a marriage fail. He was not satisfied with his life during that marriage, and there was probably a whole host of reasons for that. Reasons that had to do with him, and yes, reasons that had to do with JA. Not all marriages are successful. Why can’t people let this one go? And as far as the Team Jennifer people…Get a life. I don’t even think JA is on Team Jennifer any more. I think she, more than anyone, just wants to move on. It is in her past. She doesn’t need sympathy or support on the end of that marriage anymore. She has clearly moved on and is trying to find joy in her life. People should let her do that.

I totally agree!! he’s admitting that HE was unhappy in the marriage…that has nothing to do with Jen. Jen could have been busting her butt trying to make him happy but if he couldn’t be happy he wasn’t.
Geez!!
JD is right, he’s been apart from Jen longer than he was with her…
LET IT GO PEOPLE!!!! LET IT GO!!!!

I just don’t understand this whole team Jen and team Angie thing. Why can’t you guys let it go. He has moved on and so has she. This whole pity party for Jen is really pathetic. Everyone needs to just let them live in peace and quit it with that he said she said.

JA is not the one to bring ANYTHING up rather AJ and BP seems to bring something up every time they have something to promote. It is BP and AJ that cannot seem to let it go. There is no TEAM just opinion on BP and his need to air his laundry in public, he sure keeps it quiet about his current relationship or anything that makes him or AJ look negative perhaps he can extend the same courtesy to the woman that he did enter into marriage with. I would have the same comment if it was anyone else or JA herself.

He knows what he said is wrong. For his new movie sake, he has no choice to clarify his remarks about Jen. The more he says, the worse he looks.

Brad spent a lot of time with Catherine Keener at the after party and she is best friends with Courtney and Jen. Yet another reason Ms. Jolie stayed away. Just wondering why when AJ not around he always goes back to people that were such a big part of his life with Jen — you know the dull and boring old friends they used to socialize with
Keener is Pitt's friend 1st
Posted at 1:34 PM on September 20, 2011
Actually Catherine Keener has been Brad’s close friend since they starred in a movie together in 1992. Brad introduced Jen to Keener when he started dating Aniston. Keener and Ansiton are friends but the true friendship will always be Brad and Catherine. And Jolie has no problem with Keener. At an award show Keener sat on Brad’s lap and had a laugh with him and Jolie. Keener attended God Grew Tired of Us and palled around with Jolie and Pitt. Please.. go pander lies elsewhere.

The interview said it all. Thats it! He is trying to spin it because he had no idea Jen had so many fans. And even if you dont like her, what he and Angie did was gross. They couldve waited… they rubbed their wierd relationship in all our faces. They wont get married cuz jolie cant be tied down LOL!!! He cant back track what he said, I will NEVER see a brad pitt movie again. And angie is looking like shes hitting a wall. (in my opinion) Jen will come out on top. We just need to drop this story.. enough.

“Brad called his marriage uninteresting and blamed his “pathetic” life in the “90s” on the union.” Bonnie his 90′s was spent dating Juliette Lewis and Gwyenth Paltrow. At the very end of the 90′s he started dating Jen and married her in 200. So obviously not referring to the time with her as pathetic. And he called his life uninteresting not Jen or his marriage. Also all he said REALLY was that he had to pretend the marriage was something it wasn’t. That comes down to the media labeling them the golden couple and the public believing in it when all was not as golden there. And Jen has admitted to hating the pressure of that label as well. So he is right.. it is YOUR fault for jumping to conclusions and twisting thing into what YOU want it to mean so you can get more website hits. Shame on you!

Using reefer will make you dull. Don’t do it. Hmmm, wondering who he was smoking with…perhaps…JENNIFER ANISTON!? At least she must have known about it. Why aren’t we critisizing him for that instead of what he said about his participation in the marriage?

Mentioning Jen, getting their kids pictures taken and doing humanitarian work does not sell tickets people. How many times have you scanned a movie listing and thought “Hmm, no movies starring people who have kids.. hmm no movies staring men who recently discussed their divorce and hmmm no movies starring humanitarians.. guess I will try again next week! No movies for me. Boo hoo!”
No one.
Ever.
Doesn’t happen.

Now I am getting quite offended. Does Mr. Pitt think we, the public are that dumb, we can’t comprehend exactly what he said??
Brad? STFU. BTW, why wasn’t the love of your life at your premiere? Is she upset with you for your little retraction:
“It grieves me that this was interpreted this way. Jen is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend,” he said. “It is an important relationship I value greatly. The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself – and that, I am responsible for.”
I can imagine she is. No woman, wants to hear their present squeeze go on and on about an EX-WIFE, in that way……especially then stating that it is a “relationship that you value greatly” still today. It shows that you have still some unresolved feelings for the EX, and are jealous because she has apparently moved on in her life, and is in a serious relationship.

You have blown this whole interview way out of proportion, interpreting negatively everything Brad was saying. He has already clarified his comments…time to move on. Ranting and raving about it just makes you look like a pathetic Jen lover.

He said what he meant, and meant what he said. He just did not expect the backlash he is getting, so he is trying to put a different spin on it. Too late. He should not have mentioned her name period!!!!
