Has Hollywood Turned Its Back on Angelina Jolie?

"It seems that Hollywood still deals with allegations in the only way it knows how, closing rank and leaving the woman to fend for herself, which - thankfully - Jolie is more than capable of doing." #IStandWithAngelinaJolie #IStandWithAmberHeard

Fuck everyone who played into this asshole’s whims. And yes, even Colin Farrell.

I don’t wanna hear about how “maybe they didn’t know!” Everyone fucking knows by now, especially in the industry.

People in the deuxmoi subreddit are so brain dead for collectively deciding that Quinta didn’t know about the allegations, actually, and that it’s unfair of us to criticize her for it

Like shut the fuck up?? You’re a nobody from Missouri and she has been working in the entertainment media business her entire adult life, but you think it makes sense you heard about BP choking out his kids but not her. Like, the delusion. Just bc Abbott Elementary is a cute show doesn’t mean we need to deny reality… literally everyone in that room knows he’s been accused of abuse by his wife and his children.

Yeah and she was working at Buzzfeed when the story broke so I just can’t buy that she didn’t know.

[trekkiepetrelli]

exactly, and she is very present online. it would be unfair to direct a lot/all of the heat in her direction bc she wasn't the only one to mention pitt, but she was part of the ass-kissing at the golden globes. it adds up. it's just so bizarre how many times he was mentioned or thanked that night. truly bizarre.

He's garbage but he wants to be visible in Hollywood and make films and ass kiss producers. So they will give him more attention. She's not doing that. She's living her life without the need to kiss Hollywood and the press ass. Also not like he's bankable though. Look at his recent flop.

Claiming Quinta is a 'paid bootlicker' is gross though. She explained that she didn't know and while she's successfully at the moment, she's still a newcomer (and a black woman) and doesn't have significant power in Hollywood. Focus the ire on Pitt and the big hitters who support and enable him.

The way people are honing in on Quinta vs all the other sounds about yt.

Like no one else who praised him is getting the ire she is.

[tomelette]

Honestly, out of all the people to pile on, people choose Quinta? It checks but still, so disappointing. She was surprised to see him during her speech, that was fuckin' it. Not like she was Margot, actually choosing to work with him, sit next to him, and moon over him.

[dull_and_wicked]

quinta brought it onto herself tweeting a lukewarm defense and then deleting it. if she had kept it moving she would have just gotten lumped in with everyone else but deleting a tweet is pm putting a bullseye on yourself

[gabzillaz]

Every women is expendable when it comes to protecting a white cis man, especially one Hollywood still considers profitable.

Even if they don't care about anybody but themselves, Margot and co. should take note because no matter how much they gush over Pitt (or Spacey, Polanski, Deep, etc.) they are always in danger of becoming the next witch to burn.

I was gonna say part of it has to do with her not making films in years, but her wiki corrected me on that so… yeah, just plain old misogyny.

The fact that her weird behavior (sorry Ang, but kissing your brother IS weird) when she was in her 20s, being the other woman, and simply being bisexual has people questioning her (or outright denying) as a victim of DV is appalling. Never mind the fact that their children experienced similar violence - but, that just gets completely ignored by these ass kissers.

She thankfully doesn’t need Hollywood or the public’s support. But, plenty of women who aren’t in her privileged position do.
