After eight long years of back and forth, Brad and Jolie divorced, and settlement fuels the media circus surrounding their personal lives, while years of public battles have turned what should have been a private matter into a public spectacle. This distraction undermines the real emotional and personal toll on everyone involved, and the so-called ‘success’ of the settlement feels hollow when you consider the long-term damage to their privacy and the lasting impact on even their children.

Brad and Jolie divorced after the settlement was filed on December 30 in a U.S. court in Los Angeles. The filing did not disclose financial records or details of prior arrangements concerning the custody of the couple’s two minor children.

Another issue that compounded their struggles was Brad’s battle with alcohol addiction. Angelina Jolie, in an interview according to Vogue India, remarked, ‘His addiction to alcohol was the reason why he lost many opportunities in Hollywood. He was even jealous because I wouldn’t let him promote my business. Nonetheless, he’s the father of my children, and I don’t want to talk about it too much.”
