Billy Bob Thornton Lashes Out At Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt

Billy Bob Thornton Lashes Out At Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt

I've read and reread this quote a dozen times and can't figure out WHY Billy Bob Thornton would say such a thing. How very hurtful. Caring for 6 children and building a life around family is hardly a phase...

"She is just going through a high school phase. You know dating the quarterback of the football team with Brad Pitt over there. She'll be waking up from that dream in no time. Who knows if I'll be there when she's ready to come to her senses though."

This quote is from today on the AskMen.com website.

Thanks Vanessa!!!

Hmm... sounds like someone is still nursing some old wounds. I do have to say, though, that I've wondered something similar. I just don't believe people change that significantly overnight the way she seemed to. A 'phase' is a harsh way of putting it, but I hope she doesn't get "bored" with family life.

Hopefully he was kidding and it was just taken out of context. She has 4 kids and is pregnant with twins. If that is "highschool" when is the adult phase supposed to start? That really does not make sense.

letitbe letitbe said:

He left her. He knows how she is and I have thought the same thing. This is a phase she is going though and the sad thing is she is involving kids.
Remember her dad knows how she is and said he hopes for the best, but he know angie well and hope she knows what she is doing.

Passerby Passerby said:

Billy Bob didn't leave Angie, In an interview both said they grew apart because Angie wanted kids, he didn't. He wasn't ready to adopt a kid with her. Angie went along and did it by herself; she left him and he in turn started touring and playing with his band. Their marriage was based on physical attraction, Angelina wanted more than that. Billy didn't want to give more, she moved on and adopted Maddox.

Dani Dani said:

That is hysterical! Go Billy Bob! I love it!

Passerby Passerby said:

LOL...that quote if funny, seriously. Maybe he is kidding or maybe he is upset that Angie moved on with her life, and he is still stuck in nowhere land. Who knows, I don't think Angie ( I don't know her personally) would adopt three orphans and bring three children into this cruel world as a "phase".

How immature of him! I think he sounds like he envies Angelina the life she now has. I don't think either it's forever but to actually go ahead and say something like this shows Billy Bob has serious issues, among them not knowing when to shut up or just saying nothing at all. Whatever happened to respecting others, to manners?

GirlyGirl GirlyGirl said:

It was my understanding that he said this as a joke...

kiki kiki said:

hate to say it but i've wondered the same thing. it's like she is forcing something that just doesn't fit. idk. we all could be wrong(and i hope so) because none of us no her personally. but, this quote is funny. i thought they were still friends. and what old wounds is he nursing? he left her when she brought maddox home.

ok I'm a little surprise to hear that because in several interviews Angie always said that they're still very close and that they still talk and she loves him but they just grew apart. Did she lie about that one too?

Passerby Passerby said:

out of context of not, i have to say i've wondered about this... she seemed to changed too muh pratically overnight in a space of what? 5, 6 years, she went from carrying billy bob's blood on her neck to having 4 kids and being pregnant with twins... it seems like too much of a change and something that happened so fast... and also, if you look into brad's previous relationships,he always seems to almost morph into who he's going out with, his personality seems to change completely for a while, until he gets bored and meets someone else...
now, i hope billy bob is wrong and this is not just a "phase", spec. since there are so many kids involved now, but i definately get what he's saying here... and judging from the comments above, i'm not the only one.

Uh, I can see a lot of truth in that. This guy knows Angelina probably better than anyone else... he knows what she's like. I don't know about the "if I'll be there" part... that's kinda a dumb thing to say - who's to say that she'd ever go back to him. But yea, I'm sure it's partly true.

Passerby Passerby said:

Adopting is so good and I command her for that. Having biological kids is great as well and again I command her for that. Something that amazes me is this. I know they are rich but is it really necessary to have 6 kids all in a row? Having kids is not only about money and I think that's the reason why so many celebrities don't have kids early since they're so busy and they know that it's unfair for the kids to come into this world where noone has time for them. Maybe it looks all cute now but think about when those kids are all teenagers. Or what if one day they decide to break up. You never know about Hollywood people! Then what's gonna happen with those kids.

If somebody knows her, it's Billy Bob. I hope he is wrong but I've been wondering about this too before. She is known to do everything with excess and when she is excited about something she can't stop it. I only hope it's not the case with her kids. You can actually tell she is so in love that she will do anything with that man.

Billy Bob is not a shy person. I still remember after they broke up and he said that sex doesn't have to be with a model (actress) to be good. She is known to do impulsive things so we'll see, time will tell. I hope everybody is happy though, including Billy Bob and Jen.

Passerby Passerby said:

WTF, you command her? Commend is the word my friend please google it.

Mel Mel said:

It's hard to tell the tone of something like that when you're just reading it. I can see how he'd say that as a joke.

anniedawg25 anniedawg25 said:

this is striclty an opinion, and something that I wonder about. Im not saying she's a bad person or whatever...but sometimes I think Angelina is addicted to having and raising children. She's had bad substance abuse problems for most of her life, and when she kicked that, it seems like her addiction was shifted elsewhere......to kids and helping people (UN ambassador etc.). Alot of people trade one addiction for another (i.e. instead of smoking, someone will become addicted to gum, insted of eating someone becomes addicted to exercising)....it's like the strong urge and desire for SOMETHING is still there, but it's just getting satisfied in other ways. I'm not saying she's a bad mom or doesnt love her kids, but I agree with some previous posters here.....it seems like it was an overnight change and she goes from announcung on the red carpet she screwed Billy Bob in the back of a limo to full blown motherhood. It even almost seems like she sees these children as having saved her. she wants to surround herself with more because she feels protected or safe? I dunno....like i said it's just my opinion!

Passerby Passerby said:

I like Angelina and her open charachter and I like Billy Bob. I have to agree with you. I would say that children keep her focused on something positive rather than negative.

Hmmm. It seems to me that her "phase" was the whole "wearing blood around her neck, getting all the tattoos, acting weird" thing. I always just looked at it as she was growing up and was out of her rebellious phase. Eh, whatever. Billy Bob always seemed like a sarcastic guy, he's probably kidding.

Passerby Passerby said:

I think he has a movie coming out or something. Maybe he's just saying it for press.

of course BBT was joking around. he left mangie because he didn't want to feck a sofa anymore.

Bale Bale said:

I agree with him. Brad Pitt is some weird phase she's going through. I remember reading an interview from around 2004 and she said that she hoped that her life is drastically different every 2 years. She likes change and Brad will get the boot for a newer or older model sooner rather than later.

Plus, I bet she realizes how weak he is when he got he tattooed the drawing she made on his back. I mean, what kind of man does that? Not a strong one... that's fo sho!

GetReal GetReal said:

Passerby you're a moron. For the record I think BBT was being facetious. He thinks he's a funny guy. Always has. But he's also one of the most insecure and neurotic people in Hollyweird. The man has a fear of freaking ANTIQUES! And once claimed when he visited Angie in London while she was shooting LC that he didn't eat much because there were "too many old things around" and it made him uncomfortable. He's not exactly what you'd call a stable person.

But to address your comment...

>>>out of context of not, i have to say i've wondered about this... she seemed to changed too muh pratically overnight in a space of what? 5, 6 years,<<<<

How in the hell is 5 or 6 years "overnight"? That's called GROWING UP! Angie was only 25 when she married BBT. He was a grown-ass man of 43 and had been married 4 previous times. She acted like a giddy kid in love. What was HIS excuse? He went after a woman 20 years his junior KNOWING that she wanted to adopt lots of kids. When she sought to make that happen, he balked and ran crying like a baby because she chose her child over him. How immature of him...and here it is 6 years later and he's just as immature as ever. Angie moved on a long time ago and grew up and out of her infatuation with BBT - even after he tried to get her back at the end of 2002. He'd screwed up and she saw the real him and that was all she needed to know he wasn't the man she wanted as the father of her children. The irony here is that he took a backhanded slam at Brad...someone he'd previously referred to as a friend. Methinks his stupid comment this week will put a crimp in his friendship with both Brad and Angie.

Passerby Passerby said:

Do people not fact check at all anymore? Those were fake quotes made up to go along with a picture used on "A Call to the Bullpen" on Defamer. I seriously can't believe that everyone is running with this.

Passerby Passerby said:

Don't forget, folks...he was married to her. He knows her, and we don't. He also said that boinking her was like boinking the couch, in regards to the fact that looking beautiful is not what counts in the sack. And this adoption thing is manic...it's not well-thought-out, and it's the sign of someone who is trying hard to compensate for something...like drug use, cutting, excessive tattooing, sexual acts with her brother, a lesbian relationship with a model, and wearing her second husband's blood in a vial around her neck.

Passerby Passerby said:

Freaking idiot, its ok to hate but please that's just a post that screams HELP!

Another stupid statement. Angie was married to BBT for roughly 1 1/2 years before they split up. The divorce took another year to complete. That's why on paper it looks like they were married for 3 years. HOWEVER...Angie has been with Brad for 3 continuous years. I think Brad knows Angie, the adult Angie at 33, far better than BBT does. Your statement is just ridiculous. Furthermore, Angie wouldn't have biological children with BBT. She told him unequivocally that she ONLY WANTED TO ADOPT. Fast foward 5 years and she meets a man who she realizes will love the adopted children as if they were his biological children and as she said, her decision to have bio kids changed because SHE MET SOMEONE SHE LOVED. So take that Billy Boob and choke on it.

angielover angielover said:

He's probably joking! He probably keeps getting asked questions about her and thought hey,, i can be an ass and make people laugh. Think about the one question you get asked over and over again and what your responses evolve too. Probably something sarcastic!

GetReal GetReal said:

Passerby - you stupidity knows no bounds. BBT WAS NOT talking about Angie when he made the comment that sleeping with some beautiful women was like effing the sofa. He was referring to his 4th wife Petra, who was putting the screws to him for more child support. And your assertion that BBT "knew" Angie because he was married to her is beyond stupid. They divorced because they "grew apart", meaning, he no longer knew who she was and want she wanted in life. He admitted that HE was the one who screwed up and HE was the one who couldn't adapt and grow the eff up. Why so many women like yourself have a problem wtih Jolie is obvious - you're a big ass wimp afraid to live life on your own terms so you criticize someone who does. That's just pathetic.

Passerby Passerby said:

I love Billy Bob. He is a great actor, especially when it comes to play az*holes. He is hillarious. As far as Angelina, I think they were a perfect couple. They just were made for each other. However, these two are destructive together. I do think, they both miss each other, but should stay away. One think I love about Angelina, was the fact that she was who she was with Billy Bob. True to herself. Now she is simply in a different phase of her life and children keep her more sane, away from her demons. But I think Billy Bob is correct, she can turn around in no time from angel to devil, she just has to keep herself straight. So I wish her well. As far as Brad Pitt, he seems boring as hell (he is a total follower) but he also seems to be good to keep her on a sane side, since she can most definitely dominate Brad.

Passerby Passerby said:

I think Angelina has an addictive personality. I hope one of her addictions isn't adopting children. She does do things to excess, especially if you look at her past. Billy Bob would know...he was married to her.

Passerby Passerby said:

GetReal, who the hell do you think you are? You don't know any of these people. Why don't YOU get real, and get some kind of life that doesn't involve getting so worked up about pinhead celebrities that you don't even know, and insulting other people who have opinions about them that differ from yours. You pathetic moron, you have no idea whether Billy Bob was talking about Angie when he made the sofa comment. The interviewer had just asked him a question about Angie before he made that statement. And you don't know why they divorced, either. No one knows why ANYONE chooses to end a marriage. Loser.

Passerby Passerby said:

Why should Billy Bob have felt obligated to be Maddox's dad??? Billy Bob did not adopt that kid...Angie did. Billy Bob has biological children of his own. Maybe he didn't want to adopt a Cambodian kid when he has his own children. Don't blame him for not going along with Angelina and these manic adoptions of hers.

That's not overnight, for you math-failing geniuses. I went from a hard-partying punk rebel to a loving wife and mom of two in 5-6 years. Get a clue and a kindergarten book on basic time concepts. Thanks!

Passerby Passerby said:

Yes, BBT was being sarcastic. And Angelina is not going to leave Brad and the kids. She's in her element as a mother. After nearly four years together, it's obviously not a phase she's going through. Believe it or not people do grow up, maybe not as fast as some of you. I would imagine seeing children who had their limbs hacked off or people living in the most dire conditions imaginable due to ethnic cleansing or war might be the slap in the face that made her grow up quickly. I wish Brad and Angelina best wishes for their growing family.

Passerby Passerby said:

You freaking motards. He's being sarcastic.

Passerby Passerby said:

Billy Bob left Angelina Folks!

Passerby Passerby said:

That's right...he left HER. He went on tour with his band and basically never came back after she adopted Maddox. He told her on the front end that he didn't want to adopt...she did it anyway...and he left her. Which goes to show you....she is a human being like the rest of us. Even the great man-stealing Angelina got her ass dumped.

Mike Mike said:

Angelina is definitely living a lie. But Billy Bob with his waxwork, plastically-altered face and dwindling career is even closer to total insanity. He is beginning to look like a piece of the antique furniture that he fears so much.

Passerby Passerby said:

OK, he seems to have had a plastic surgery because he used to look better when he had those wrinkles and older rugged look when he was with Angelina. But no need to be so rude on your part. I love Billy Bob the actor!

Passerby Passerby said:

I guess having been married to her, he is more qualified to comment than the rest of us. But he is not the only one to comment on Ms Jolie's "phases". Her father did too. Ms Jolie does seem to have a personality which goes through obsessive phases. The current one, which is collecting children while producing more of her own so that she will have 6 kids aged 6 and under, screams obsession. Even with all the paid help, how could having so many young children with their constant demands be a balanced thing to choose to do? How can their emotional needs be catered for with all the competition? One can only hope that this particular obsession is a lasting one, because becoming a parent is a long term commitment. Imagine them all as teenagers at the same time? For the kids' sake I hope she can hold it together, but she has sure got herself into a situation from which she cannot walk away, this time. Regardless of all the hype she feeds the media about her wonderful life, it must be like living in a zoo.

Genius, god i love him for actually saying something like that. Haven't you realized what she's doing to all those kids? She promised to be a "stay-at-home-mom" but then she goes away and shoot a movie instead, and as if that wouldn't be enough- now she's planning on adopting another kid... the only explanation here is that she's in a phase right now, and that's not unusal for people diagnosised with Borderline persona.

Passerby Passerby said:

REALLY! Billy Bob was kidding!! It's a display of humor, he's well aware of the state of his ex-wife's life with 6 kids and everything - she's very established in her personal life (that's irony for you), and BB and AJ are apparently still friends, so I highly doubt he would comment negatively on his ex-wife. It's a joke people!

hmmm.... i remember going through a gothic-dating-crazy-little-boys-named-billy-bob phase when i was in high school (ok, maybe not THAT far, but you got the point)... maybe that is what he is referring to!

I applaud her for what she is doing... granted, many people are calling her a "homewrecker" and what not, but you know what? it takes two to tango... i think that brad had to have been the "homewrecker" in this case. I'm glad she grew up... and is now OUT of her "highschool" phase and becoming the human being she wants to be... and to be honest: most of us can only hope to be
