ENTERTAINMENT THE CELEB DIVORCE THAT BROKE THE INTERNET Hollywood’s Fairytale Marriage is Finally Coming to an End By MICHELLE VARON Staff Writer Angelina Jolie, humanitarian and actress, filed for divorce on Sept. 20 from Brad Pitt, actor, due to irreconcilable differences. Many people referred to the couple as “Brangelina” and considered them the per fect match. The sudden news of their divorce shocked the world and raised many questions as to why it happened. “I never thought this would happen,” said Ashley Persaud, senior. “They made it seem as if they had the perfect family life.” Jolie’s decision for divorce was said to be for the health of the family. The couple had different parenting methods and it finally got to the breaking point. There are many rumors regarding their spilt, but their recent family trip to France may have ended it all. “Something severe must have
happened and I’ll definitely find out soon,” Jon Voight, Jolie’s father, told Buzzfeed News. “Her priority is the children; it always has been.” When the family was flying back from France, there was said to have been a heated argument between Jolie, Pitt and their son, Maddox. According to Buzzfeed News, Pitt was being verbally and physically abusive to his son. “I could never picture someone like him abusing his son,” said Megan Weinraub, senior. “This is very serious and I cannot wait to find out what really happened.” Pitt is currently going through an investigation led by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. He is said to be cooperating fully and willing to provide anything for the well being of his children. “I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the wellbeing of our kids,” Pitt said in an
interview with People magazine. The divorce will not only decide the fate of their children, but also the division of their $555 million worth of assets and international properties.
