Angelina Jolie, one of Hollywood’s top stars, has gone through many upheavals in her career and personal life, especially after her marriage to Brad Pitt broke down. The long-running legal disputes between the two have attracted public and media attention, raising questions about Jolie’s image and status in the entertainment industry.
After filing for divorce in 2016, Angelina Jolie accused Brad Pitt of abusing her and their children on a flight from France to Los Angeles. Although the FBI investigated and did not bring charges against Pitt, Jolie persisted in pursuing the case. In 2022, she filed a lawsuit against the FBI requesting information about the investigation, but in September 2024, Jolie decided to drop the lawsuit.
During the dispute, Jolie also accused Pitt of forcing her to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) about his violent behavior in exchange for buying back her shares in the Château Miraval estate in France. Pitt denied these allegations and said Jolie was trying to defame him.
The long-standing disputes and back-and-forth accusations have significantly affected Angelina Jolie’s image in the eyes of the public and professionals. Although she continues to participate in film projects, Jolie’s career does not seem to shine as before. In 2025, she took on the leading role in the film “Maria”, transforming into the opera singer Maria Callas. Despite being nominated for a Golden Globe, Jolie was not nominated for an Academy Award (Oscar), which disappointed her.
Some sources believe that Jolie’s lack of an Oscar nomination may stem from Hollywood’s support for Brad Pitt. The strained relationship between the two stars has divided public opinion and may affect how experts view her.
Angelina Jolie was once a symbol of charm and talent in Hollywood. However, events in her personal life and prolonged legal disputes with Brad Pitt have significantly affected her image and career. Although she continues to work in the arts and participate in new projects, Jolie faces many challenges in restoring her position and trust from the public as well as experts.
