Brad Pitt’s Mom Slams President Obama Over Gay Marriage, “Killing Unborn Babies”

Truth rating: 10

(GettyImages.com)

Brad Pitt’s mother Jane has written a letter to her local newspaper advocating for the election of Republican candidate Mitt Romney and slamming President Obama for his stance on abortion and gay marriage.

In her note to Springfield, Missouri’s News-Leader, Jane Pitt describes Obama as “a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage.”

Jane also says that “any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney’s opponent,” and notes that Romney, though a Mormon, “shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality.”

There was initially confusion as to whether the letter, published on Tuesday, was actually written by the actor’s mother or someone with the same name.

The News-Leader has since confirmed that it’s indeed Brad Pitt’s mom.

Considering Pitt and partner Angelina Jolie have been outspoken supporters of gay marriage, the topic should make for interesting conversation at the family dinner table.

What do you think of Jane Pitt’s letter?

    I wonder if she’s met Jon voight? He has similar views. I wonder what she thinks about Angelina’s love affair with a woman and her own sons strong support of gays. Ctfu brad has the standard Hollywood opinion on pretty much everything. I wonder if he secretly agrees with mommy.

    Poor Angelina looks scared in that photo.

  • Guest

    Check with E News. The paper first said it was Brad Pitt’s mother then retracted it

  • Guest

    False alarm!

    Despite an earlier confirmation to E! News from Springfield’s News-Leader that a letter from Jane Pitt—which supported Mitt Romney’s conservative views on homosexuality—was indeed written by the superstar’s mom, the paper has now reversed itself, clarifying that this Jane Pitt is actually a different woman altogether.

    The woman, who so happens to share Pitt’s mom’s name, was responding to an earlier letter published by Springfield’s News-Leader, in which a reader urged voters to shut out Romney’s presidential bid because of his Mormon beliefs.

    E! News is a bit behind. The newspaper printed a second editor’s note, clarifying that the letter writer was, indeed, Brad Pitt’s mother Jane.

  • Cynthia McCain

    And with that kind of upbringing, is it any wonder that Brad decided religion was for the birds?

  • Guest99

    Right away people are jumping to conclusions – the wrong one. I don’t believe Brad’s mom would write that letter.

    Btw – to the first Guest, Angelina looks beautiful in this pic, as she always does. Nothing about her looks scared.

  • Shirley

    Coming from someone who raised an adulterous, fornicating son. Shut up old woman, your opinion is irrelevant.

  • Kaitlyn

    I say no to abortion, yes to gay marriage (as a Catholic) the world needs more love and more babies.
    BTW I am very Catholic, but my church is wrong about marriage, all love is beautiful.
    btw feel free to attack me, I don’t mind, I’m not gonna change my mind, and may not even respond.

  • Guest99

    Hey Shirler why don’t you shut up. It’s obvious you have no idea what you are talking about.

  • Jesse

    THE best man in the world I have ever met who recently helped me and changed my life was a gay man I am honored to have him as a friend and in my life and to me gay men are the best of men and if supporting them means going to “hell” with them then eternal damnation here i come and just a side note I AM NOT ATTACKING catholics I am mearly pointing out that for people who are so against gay marrage should just stop an think for a moment because when a prist who is married to god when they moleste children it is usally a boy so no matter witch way ya look at it that is STILL homosexuality as for abortions I think if your 15 and dumb enough to spread your legs like peanut butter then you deserve to live with yoour decisions a child shouldnt have to pay for that

  • Seriously?

    So to all the loons who were always bragging about how Brad’s mom loves Jolie and what a close family they are, I would love to get your thoughts on this now. Something tells me you’ll be singing an entirely different tune now about how they aren’t close at all, yada yada yada.

  • http://twitter.com/Miadodi Anon

    You are the one who needs to shut up. The flamers have to keep mentioning the same lie that their unfounded hatred and inaccurate perspectives is based on.

    Her son was never adulterous and you need to quit slandering her son based on false allegations. He and Jolie did not actually become romantically involved until three months after his separation. All of his family and close associates know this. Brad Pitt has very strong morals and values. He has been betrayed by several of his exes. He would never cross that line.

    I find those claims highly suspect.

    Anyway, not to go off-topic on that…it doesn’t matter on whether it is his mother or not. The fact is that Brad Pitt and Angelina strongly support same-sex marriage. He does not hold the same viewpoint as his parents and holds some different belief systems than them. Brad and Angelina have been strong advocates of this civil rights legislation.

    @ The First Guest: Your bogus claims once again contradict tons of evidence. Brad Pitt has been very outspoken about support same-sex marriage and gay rights in numerous interviews and has genuinely displayed a very strong stance about it. He has numerous gay friends like Melissa Etheridge. He has donated so much money to end Proposition 8. There are numerous validated accounts of this. Both Brad and Angelina donate to GLAAD. Angelina was bisexual. It is utter nonsense to claim he secretly is anti-gay. He was involved in the theatrical production. You are labeling him as standard just because he is a liberal. That is lame. Whatever his parent’s beliefs are, they are separate from Brad Pitt’s.

  • Ben

    Well…that’s awkward.

  • http://twitter.com/Miadodi Anon

    You are the flamer who continues to bait and troll people in an extremely lunatic fashion. Quit misportraying people who defend them using facts, solid information, real observations, and truth as loons.

    We are not singing a different tune. Quit trying to spin this as something it isn’t. The media has to contrive a controversy around everything.

    Brad and Angelina support same-sex marriage and civil rights for the GLBT community. All of the evidence points to that. It doesn’t matter what his parents believe. Families can have differing opinions and politics yet still love each other. The evidence also proves that Brad and Angelina do keep in touch with his parents by spending time with them.

  • Nick

    What a steaming pile of non-news. Who cares what this bitch has to say? So you popped a lottery ticket out of your vagina. Congrats, your opinion still doesn’t matter any more than anyone else’s LOL

  • GooglyMoogly

    I support whatever people want to do. Want to get an abortion, really thought it out and aren’t using it as birth control..Ok I won’t think differently of you.
    Want to marry your same sex partner…awesome, invite me..won’t think any differently of you.

    I don’t know why people think it’s their business what other people do with their bodies or their lives.

  • Seriously?

    How do you know Brad was never adulterous? Where you actually there? Half of your post makes it sound like you are close friends with him and were privy to private conversations and what goes on in his head. YOU HAVE NEVER MET THIS MAN.

    Here are some known facts that one can gather without knowing him, Brad didn’t start caring about gay rights until he used it as a cover for not getting married. Show me some links to his involvement with GLADD or any real charity from 1991-2005. By his own admission, for 14 years this guy sat on his money and smoked weed and didn’t care about anything. And now we’re all supposed to pat him on the back for FINALLY getting it together? Seriously?

    The dude is just a follower. His architecture thing comes from Paltrow, His art collecting comes from Aniston. His charity thing and constantly bragging about it comes from Jolie. If Angie were into french music from the 50′s he’d care about that. The only thing he’s ever taken an interest in all by himself are motorcycles, although he probably got that from some else too, who knows? The dude is downright creepy in his inability to have a personalty of his own. He’s even gone so far as to dye his hair to match the parade of women he’s been through. LOL.

    Like Mitt Romney there is no actual THERE there.

  • Seriously?

    It’s been confirmed by the paper. It IS Pitt’s mom. Next time do a little more homework before jumping to conclusions, in your case, the wrong one.

  • Guest99

    @Seriously – why don’t you go away??? You’re always at the brad/Angelina thread spewing your hate – calling people loons. Look in the mirror and you’ll find the loon. Your posts are full of factless idiotic nonsense – it’s laughable.

  • jojo

    What a bunch of hypocrites. Its okay if you want to promote gay Marriage and abortion, but if someone else has a different view, well that’s different if they do not agree with you.So let me get this straight, the only correct thoughts are the Libs on the left. BULLSHIT

  • sigh

    on the one hand why is this news? so they have different views. so do i and my parents. on the other i don’t think brad would appreciate people badmouthing his mom for any reason. there’s a line here people. i support gay rights and i am pro-choice. not because some reasons people accuse pro-choice supporters but because i think some people weren’t meant to be parents. how much does it cost to have sex (if done with people who want it and don’t go to a prostitute)? You buy a box of condoms for under $10. anyone can afford that. babies? very expensive and the people who end up getting pregnant barely afford groceries for themselves. how are they going to raise a baby in a healthy environment or even bring it up in a healthy environment plus there’s other very personal reasons. got way off-track here but lay off brad’s mom. as long as she’s not saying violent things about people who support obama, gay rights, and pro-choice i don’t think she’s doing anything wrong. people are allowed to think for themselves.

  • Seriously?

    Hey ANON and GUEST 99.

    Thank you for your comments. It’s a free country so we ALL have the right to be here. Stop acting like you’re so much better than the rest of us. Especially funny coming from the two of you since you are ALWAYS here too. And ALWAYS on Aniston threads as well. Am I to assume that you belong to the “Do as I say not as I do” crowd? LOL.

  • Seriously?

    Please stop telling people to shut up. If you want to be taken seriously act like a grown up, not some spoiled 10 year old kid. Shirl has a right to her opinion same as you.

  • Guest99

    I don’t belive Brad’s mom wrote the letter unlike you I don’t go around believing everything that’s written in the tabloids or even the the ones that are considered reputable. And you know what I don’t give a crap if Mrs. Jane Pitt wrote that letter that’s her opinion and she is entitled to it – it’s NOT brad or Angelina’s. We don’t have to believe or agree with everything our parents/spouses/friends or any family members do or think.

    You know what you are a nuisance.

    Brad Pitt is a stand up guy. A good man. His mom raised a good person.

  • Guest

    Seriously?, the real question is what are the Angelina haters who bragged about Brad’s mother hating jolie gonna spin. It looks like their perfect mom ain’t so perfect after all. Hey, did you know it’s a fact that Brad Pitt started smoking ciggarettes when he was just 9 years old? How about that time he dated a 16 year old when he was 27? Yeah, your perfect mr Pitt ain’t so perfect.

  • http://twitter.com/Miadodi Anon

    You are a creep and also a liar. Once again, you spout overwhelming lies and contradictions. Dig up the evidence yourself. Nobody is going to go to extreme lengths for you. Do you really expect me to provide records from databases from charities for a pathetic flamer? He donated to GLAAD, the Red Cross, United Way, the ASPCA, and several other organizations before 2005. That had been going on for many years. Now you expect me to give links to private databases, I think not. His longtime fans know he donated to charities before he became a humanitarian and activist.

    That is a lie. Brad Pitt has supported Melissa Etheridge for years and had openly stated several times before 2005 that he was offended by bigotry against gay people. Claiming it was a cover for him not getting married is utter bs. He supported same-sex rights and the right to be gay/bi way before he ever met Jolie.

    Finally getting it together? He has been an activist and philanthropist for over seven years now and has a multitude of interests. He had interests and talents before 2005. He did not just sit on ass and smoke weed for 14 years and you are generalizing based on one hold habit. When his life became too mundane and not productive, he decided to change his life for the better.

    You are also pathetic enough to adopt any lame Faniston smokescreen by ignoring the fact that Aniston’s main persona that made her popular was because she attached herself to Pitt’s personality, image, and status.That she also reaped interest by attaching herself to Pitt’s interest like animal rights and Are you hateful and ignorant enough to claim that Pitt has no personality of his own and attribute everything wrongly to the women in his life. You are the reverse of a misogynist.

    He changed his hair color, one time. He had dark hair for The Assassination of Jesse James.

    He did not gain his love of architecture from Gwyneth Paltrow. You are now just straight making things up to support your deluded notions based on tabloid spin. He has been invested in architecture and design for years. Gwyneth is not even invested in architecture but style and interior design.

    Yes, he had his own distinct personality that made him appealing to millions of people way before 2005 and it was his ex’s who benefitted from an increase in stature because of him. You have to be completlely delusional and ignorant

    You don’t know what ties I have to Pitt or not. I have met him but that is none of your business on how I know or understand him. Alot of his fans actually operate on information without directly knowing him and can separate fact from fiction. You go by fiction and spin.

  • Guest99

    Did you also tell shirley to stop telling people to shut up??

    Read your post and you’ll see who’s acting like a 10 year old.

  • http://twitter.com/Miadodi Anon

    No, you don’t have the right to slander and harass people using lies and spin.
    Then you pretend to have so much knowledge when you recite garbage. Then when people prove you wrong by stating the truth, you resort to trolling them. We respond because people like you go out of control with their attacks that feed into this craziness and corruption that a lie started.

    I do know better than you because I know him and understand the truth.

    I am never on her threads unless a lie about Pitt is directly mentioned.

  • http://twitter.com/Miadodi Anon

    Quit lying and feeding into trash-mongering.

    Brad Pitt didn’t date a 16 year old when he was 27 and he didn’t start smoking when he was 9. Nobody said Jane Pitt was perfect. All lies coming from a brainwashed troll who spouts trash non-stop. You believe fiction and dismiss reality.

  • Seriously?

    Says the woman who constantly comes on here and spouts off about Brad Pitt’s inner thoughts even though she HAS NEVERE MET HIM.

  • http://twitter.com/Miadodi Anon

    I have met him. It is not inner thoughts but actual observations about him that are accurate to defend him from lies and sick flaming that is destructive for everybody. Quit trolling like a maniac.

  • Guest

    So Brad’s pr person or someone being paid to defend him. LoL

  • Guest

    Yes, he did. There’s quotes from him saying he started smoking at 9 and a simple google search will get you he dated Juliette Lewis when she was sixteen. Do the math. She’s 11 years younger than him. They dated for 3 years and were even engaged.

  • Seriously?

    My publicist friend and I smoked a joint with him and Jen backstage at an awards show ten years ago. And he once bummed a smoke off me after a private film screening in New York. This doesn’t mean I know what goes on in his head. Only his girlfriend and his shrink know what goes on in there. These are celebrities, they don’t just blab their thoughts to random strangers like you and me.

    You talk about truth. You don’t even friggin know this man but go on and on about what he is thinking and feeling. When have I ever done that? As for evidence I have often used Brad’s own quotes like the fact that he spent more than a decade getting high and not doing anything with his life. Or I quote articles written in respectable places like the New Yorker, not random tabloid crap or creepy fan fiction the way you do. Only a loon would dismiss The New Yorker as a tabloid. The New Yorker is literally the most respected publication there is. And when they write several lengthy passages about how Angelina’s publicists staged her first orphanage visits because her image was causing career problems or when they say Brad used his new found philanthropy to distact from the potentially devastating PR his divorce was causing I believe them.

  • Guest

    When you out your opinion in a newspaper expect a reaction. Negative and positive. Being Brad Pitts mother does not make her special. Oh, don’t bad mouth Brad’s mother, guys, he won’t appreciate this bad mouthing. Lmao

  • Seriously?

    “I do know better than you because I know him and understand the truth.”

    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

    Asking him for an autograph doesn’t actually count as knowing him. If you knew him well enough to understand him you wouldn’t be some obsessive troll on the internet. You’d probably be some high-powered director or something and definitely wouldn’t have time to spend all night on GC. And I doubt he even tells most people in Hollywood what he is thinking and feeling. Even George Clooney has admitted they aren’t really that close, so you’d have to be closer than Clooney.

    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

    Thanks for that. We’re officially done with this ridiculous conversation because you can’t even be remotely honest.

  • Guest

    Angelina didn’t even have a publicist back then. Nice try tho. You obviously have a weird hard on for Pitt. I’m not sure if it was here or some other site but you’ve tried to convince people that you’ve met and smoked with him before. Nobody believes you. brad Pitt is the biggest media manipulator in Hollywood and its obviously his pr team posts in here.

  • Seriously?

    It might be a PR person paid to defend Pitt, but to be honest I think this person is just a random crazy who may have asked him for an autograph once and now thinks she has a deep emotional connection to him.

    I love being called a liar for smoking with Brad Pitt for all of five minutes while a person who claims to know him deeply and understand what goes on in his head is apparently believable. I smoked a joint with him like hundreds of other people. It was backstage at the Independent Spirit awards something like 10 years ago, but in the end who cares? I obviously don’t know the guy as well as the person who claims to know him better than George Clooney. LOL

    I did misspeak though, I mean to to say Angelina’s management team set up the first orphan shots, not her publicist. It’s in The New Yorker article. Her management team and her media advisor who is mentioned in The New York Times article “The Media Manipulation of Anglelina Jolie” basically do everything a publicist would do without actually calling themselves publicists. It’s worth a read, as is the New Yorker article which is appropriately called “Looking Good”. Worth a read.

    Anyway, I think I might call it a night. These people get too crazy after awhile.

  • Homewreckeraniston

    Brad has never been adulterous. Why don’t you get your facts straight Shirley instead of believing long DEBUNKED tabloid lies.

  • Homewreckeraniston

    It was Shirley who was telling Pitt to shut up, first. Get your facts straight Seriously?

  • tamsin

    Uh huh, her management. Make sure you get that right for the next time you tell your imaginary story about someone you dont know and have never met. Yeah, and I love how when I say Brad Pitt is the biggest media manipulator you come back with something about Angelina being a manipulator. Did you notice in the piece you’re talking about Brad was barely mentioned? as if Angelina sold her baby photos on her own and Brad Pitt had nothing to do with it? Hello. That was from his Pr team during the height of the” angelina is evil and Brad is an innocent bystander campaign”. brad has and always will have a bigger and more powerful pr team than Jolie. Btw, the baby money went to the make it right foundation. That’s how he started MiR with the money Angelina was blamed for. Lmao typical Pitt fan always turning it around on Angelina. But you smoked a j with him that means you know him better than the other Pitt nut.

  • Homewreckeraniston

    Standing up on my chair and applauding. That is one reason I am so proud to be on the side of good, to be a Brad and Angelina supporter; Brad and Angelina supporters base their opinions on the FACTS that are known. The loonistons base their opinions on TABLOID inuendo, on rumors, on lies and on the fake smoke and mirrors pr image Aniston gives out. Your post is indicative of the pondering and intelligence that encompasses the Brangelina side.

  • Homewreckeraniston

    The world is over-populated, we need less babies. The world is not black and white. Women get raped and get pregnant. Medical issues come up that would endanger the mother. Disabilities happen. Abortion is a civil human right and a necessity in many cases.

  • Homewreckeraniston

    Not attacking you, just stating that the world is not black and white, and as a woman, you should stand up for woman’s rights. Saying you’re not ‘gonna change my mind’ is sad because it indicates you are closed-minded. A person should *always* be prepared to change their mind if given information. Maybe if you or someone close to you is raped, you might finally open your mind and think differently? There are always exceptions to the rule, thats how life is.

  • Homewreckeraniston

    I’m not sure why you loonistons think one has to do with the other? Since ANISTON is pro-gay marriage, what does that say about her and Jane? See, didn’t think that one out, did you? haha

  • Homewreckeraniston

    “Do as I say not as I do” crowd?

    You mean like the moral hypocrisy and moral gymnastics of the loonistons who condemn Brad and Angelina for doing something they never even did, but rival a gymnastics contortionist to defend Aniston from screwing with and stealing another woman’s man? The brainwashed and duplistic fanbots like yourself who hold Aniston to a different standard? Yes, we know who the duplicious hypocrites who do as I say not as I do are……

    Rolls eyes. I always knew you loonistons were extremely immature and easily lead, but even the above, I don’t expect from anyone but a bratty 9 year old. And you have the hide to talk about honesty, when you have NOT ONCE said ANYTHING honest, all you’ve done is spew LIES you got from the tabloids. You really are a pitiful creature. No wonder the loonistons have such a psychotic and deranged reputation.

  • Chris

    Pretty simple. Marriage is a legal right that should not be denied to consenting adults. None of my business who another person wants to love and spend their life with. Done!

    Abortion is a termination of another life. Doesn’t matter how you relabel it, a “woman’s right”, “her body” it’s the death of a human life. Tired of people pretending it’s not. Unless it’s rape, the woman willingly took steps to create that life with another human being. The father of the child. That makes THREE people involved…not just the woman. I suppose if the woman can get signed letters of agreement from all THREE, she could kill the baby, but I doubt she will get the baby’s signature.

    Well done to brad pitt’s mom. At least someone in hollywood has their values straight.

    Really Seriously? That New York Times article was debunked, retracted and an apology given from the Editor. No looniston even uses that as ‘evidence’ for anything anymore, not sure why you are so far behind and failed to get the memo, and persist in humiliating yourself with posting debunked rubbish.

    “about their lives” yes…but when it affects other’s lives (abortion) there has to be safeguards.

  • Chloe

    I don’t believe the letter is from Brad’s mother. Jane Pitt usually seems very quite and reserved, so why all of a sudden what she voice her opinion in such a way? It is probably a women with the same name trying to get in the media. Let’s wait and hear it from the source before we start calling the women crazy etc. Of course, paper is going to confirm the letter is from Brad’s mother it gets them additional attention as well.

  • Anonymous

    We are a free country the woman has the right to give her opinion, you agree with her or not.

    Well thank God her son doesn’t share the same beliefs.

    That’s enough for me and I hope the press don’t keep asking him about this subject. He has his opinion, his mother have hers.

    In the end everybody gets along. Move on people.

  • cinchi

    Kaityln,

    Fellow Catholic here so I’m curious given your positions on the Church how you feel about the following: A nun in Arizona who served on the ethics board of a Catholic hospital was ex-communicated from the church for agreeing to allow an abortion in the hospital under the following circumstances – the fetus had a 0% of surviving and the mother only had a 5% chance of surviving without an abortion. The abortion saved the mother’s life and didn’t kill the fetus as its demise was imminent – it more hastened the demise. On the flip side, the Church is currently undergoing financial scandal and fraud in Rome, all perpetrated by men, and has time and time again covered up for priests who sexually abused children, most of whom were little boys and thus invoking homosexual issues in addition to the child abuse issues. Not a single priest was ex-communicated for this. And I’m not even going into the Church’s current treatment of American nuns. As a woman and a Catholic, I find that I have faith in the religion but not in the Church as an institution. It is hard to say I have faith in the Church’s current moral compass, particularly when it concerns women as the Church is waving neon banners advertising its misogony.

  • Southern Jane

    We live in America and every American is entitled to their opinion. She is exercising her right as an American to voice her opinion. Go Jane.

    hon, he’s an atheist. He’s ALSO an agnostic. Most atheists ARE. They lack BELIEF in gods (A= without, Theism= belief in gods) but they don’t claim to KNOW there is no god (A= without, gnostic = knowledge). If you listen to what he says, he is an agnostic atheist.

    And good for him. It’s the only rational position to have.

  • Kaitlyn

    I think the last part of your sttaement said it all. I am totally for the faith, and totally against some behaviorss in the vatacain these days. Especially when it comes to defending various misdeeds and inappropriate relations concering priests.
    as for yourn question about abortion, I feel that excommunication was a little extrem, however she absolutely should not have assissted with the abortion. There is, despite what doctors may tell us,no such thing as zero chance because there is plenty of hope in a miracle from our father. Sometimes doctors are just wrong, and innocent lives have been robbed.afamous example of a toryvery, uch like tnis Tim Tebow, an NFL quaterback, surely you can’t argue that e would be better off dead. If I had to, Id risk my life, so my baby could live just a few hours and I could hold it in my arms. Aso if I didn’t murder it, we would see each other again, in a short time, but if I killed it, we would never know each other, and my child would spend an eternity alone, because I certinly wouldn’t be headed to Heaven.

  • Kaitlyn

    its not that Im close-minded, more that I m grounded in my morals,butI get where you got that idea from
    regarding abortion,I hate the “rape defense” obviously, it is a terrible thing no one deserves to endure, but your pwn hardship doesn’t give you the right to kill another person. Its still a baby, with a beating heart, and its yours. If you can’t face a child looking like your rapist there is alway the option of adoption. There are plenty of families ready to raise and love a baby who just can’t.

  • Kaitlyn

    Diabilities? So you’d rather be dead thn disabled? That’s funny, because most of tye disabled people I know, are the happiest people I know. Sometimes when they test for disabilities they are wrong and you would have killed someone for no good reason. Any good mother is willing to give her life for her child.
    as faras overpopulation, the problem isnt babies, there are doing nothing wrong. The problem is people who feel that murder is the solution to the population crisis. Frankly there are enough resources to go around if we all helped each other, and some individuals didn’t insist on being gluttons and taking more than they nee, and if people stopped being so wasteful. Don’t clean up our mess, by murdering our future. Take some personal responsibilty, something far too many of us lack

    stupid, stupid, stupid. She has the right to her opinions. She has the right to express her opinions.

    And other people have the right to express their opinion that she a dried up old bag of busybodiness.

    Hey liberal scum, whoever wrote the letter has a right to their own political beliefs.

    Everybody has a right to make a fool of themselves in public, even Brad Pitt’s mother.

    i would be happy if she did write this at least somebody would stand up to this BS

  • Wendylaw1

    The son she raised slept with a bi-polar bi sexual woman that wears blood around her neck, cut herself, had eating disorders, made out with her brother on tv while he was married. Now they hoard children together. I doubt Mrs Pitt is an expert on anything! Keeping her trap shut and her son honest is one of them!

  • Ghost

    Mitt Romney for Prez. Great comments Mrs. Pitt.

  • McQuire

    Get off the fence…Only Ok to have your own opinion if the person posting is in agreement with SERIOUSLY? Really knock it off. Whether Jane Pitt wrote it or not…she is entitled to her opinion…just agree with at least that or nothing you post will be of any value from this point on on to most of us.

    For certain…Barack does it all the time.

    Shut up you disingenuous hater, you use brad pitt’s backward asss mother to bash Angelina? Figures. You aniston mad cows would do that.. Before she was shown to be the redneck intolerant hick brad always inferred, you haters were all about gloating over how much she supposedly loved aniston the sitcom ho’ who fellates bananas, smokes weed, gets drunk at award shows and is always showing her 48 yr old nips boobs and azz. Make up your minds haters. If you really can’t stand mama pitt, and why bash Angelina?!! Simple, because that’s what you really want to do.

    One day for those of us who are parents…MUST learn to live with the independent choices our chldren make for their lives…whether we as parents agree with those choices or not.
    I know some excellent parents who may have 3 grown children and 1 out of the chose a very bad path…had no reflection on his upbringing…just a bad decisions on the part of the adult child. There does come a time in ones life when you must take responsibilty for your own actions….You seem very disrepectful…Whos fault is that? Try not to shift blame….it is clearly yours.

  • Emily

    Way to go Mrs. Pitt!!

    Actually, I think you are one behind here. The reference you linked was written on the 3rd. EOline’s update is as of the 5th.

  • Jenninfer

    Ok… and this is for the kiddies posting down below:

    AS OF TODAY, JULY 6TH, IT IS NOT – I repeat – NOT BRAD’S MOTHER.

    It is some lady with the same name. Now everyone get back to work.

  • Rubbishtalk

    Wow!! She is against gay union even though there is a posibilty her grand daughter might be gay. Plus why did she write Barack “Hussein” obama butSCID not feel the need to clearly write out mitt romneys full name. I did not know Brads mom is so fox news & I can not stand people like that. I hope she does not treat her adopted grand kids differently from the way she treats her biological grand kids but after reading this pile of rubbish she wrote, I wouldn’t be surprised if she does.

  • Tuscany06

    Talk about hypocritical!!! Her son is married, has an affair w/ Jolie who has had sexual relationships w/ women, they have children out of wedlock….blah, blah, blah. Time to shut your mouth Mrs. Pitt, you have nothing to be proud of and you are definitely not a Christian!!!

    I just know my daughter turned out to diagnosed with Asperges. She is bright, talented, (professional artist) she has friends , she’s happy. I am glad I didn’t abort her. I work in a rehab for people with disabilities and everyone of them are happy they are here. Who is anyone to decide what a person’s value is?

  • artgal

    Well was it written by his mother or not????

  • PTL49

    Ok God…Right? This has to be you…..Because you and ONLY YOU will do the JUDGING.
    And if this is not God…then understand this.. Judge not..That you might be Judged in like manner.

  • Carol

    Some of the nicest and best parents I know have the craziest little leftest radicals I’ve ever seen. They are incapable of considering that many older people disagree with them and the most intolerant little brats I have ever witnessed. They attack anyone who doesn’t agree with them with vitriolic profanity and rant on about not judging and tolerance but they need to look in the mirror first. So your mom doesn’t agree with you Brad. Oh well ——-

  • Chris

    Bravo!

  • cinchi

    The paper initially retracted that it was Brad’s mom, did some more research and then retracted their retraction stating that yes indeed the author of the letter is indeed Brad Pitt’s mom. Not a big deal though as it only shows that both Brad and his mom are individuals with their own opinions.

  • Kimber6775

    People can agree to disagree and still be wonderful to each other and have great family relationships…Are you not a civil person? Or maybe seems like you just have a very narrow mind. Yep thats it alright NARROW MINDED YOU.

  • Edel

    I’m sure a lady who has no hesitation writing an open letter like this to the newspaper would not hide her views from her family. All families have topics they need to agree to disagree on, this is no different. The “interesting conversation” has probably happened a while ago and more than once.

    Aniston was F@#king Vince Vaughn waay before Brad left her sorry self.

  • klee

    Why is this even a big deal? She has as much right to her opinions and beliefs as anyone else. Doesn’t make her a bad person.

  • SeekHelpSeriously

    Your incompetence to dicipher is rather ridiculous at this point.
    Mr. Pitt unlike Mr. Romney is NOT RUNNING FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

    Pitt’s parents are devout Christians and very good people,not met Brad’s mom Jane but went to HS w Bill Pitt,Brad’s dad,super person,intelligent and strong religeous views.Bill & Jane graduated from OBU a Baptist college so entirely possible that Mrs. Pitt stated her views.Being brought up in Bible Belt entirely possible that those views by Jane Pitt are accurate and great many people agree with her views,including me.

  • YourFriend

    Is it any wonder that people constantly confuse Religion and Faith?
    They are 2 different things entirely.
    In fact Jesus himself was not a man of Religion…Thats right folks…Religion pushes its traditions and rituals…much like Satanism.
    Jesus was a man of Great Faith…Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
    I believe Mr. Pitt has Faith and he has conviction over what he does believe in…proving that with his deep devotion to his children and world projects to help those in need.

    So Cynthia I am going to agree with you that Religion is for the birds…the word itself mentioned only five times in the entire Bible.

  • JudgeHarrison

    Obviously Mrs.Pitt’s opinion is relevant or we would not be posting here. And on November 6th 2012 Mrs.Pitt and those who believe as she does will be more than relevant.
    BTW what adult children choose to do with their live’s is no longer the responsibility of a parent.

  • guest

    becuase of your very words i know you know nothing about Christianity. First, it is not a religion. Religions just practice laws and rituals. Christianity is a relationship. Just as in society, people excpet or reject relationship. Those who except the relationship find blessing even in the midst of storms, Those who reject the relationship are on their own even in the midst of their storms. Jane Pitt stands on her faith. Christians live their faith and will not compromise.

  • YourFriend

    Hi there..I think you misunderstood my post altogether…I am agreeing that Religion is ritualistic..and that most people confuse Faith with Religion.
    As a Christian I will not judge anyone. We are taught by our very redeemer Jesus Christ that God himself will do the judging.
    If I have offended have you in any way please forgive me..We are comissioned to love all.

    It’s obvious what Mrs. Pitt thinks about Angelina’s sexually-confused lifestyle and how she likely feels about Brad’s support for homosexual freaks, especially after being tainted by Hollywood’s screwy sense of morality. She feels like the rest of normal Americans do. In the first place, what most people don’t understand, is that there is no such thing as “gay” rights. Homos don’t have any more rights than anybody else and there is not a single word, not a syllable, in the constitution conferring any kind of rights to anybody because of their sexual practices. Not a word! Homos also already have “marriage equality”, too; nobody says they can’t marry, not in any state in the union. Their marriage just has to comport with the law just like all other marriages do; i.e., they have to marry a person of the opposite gender…case closed on the 14th amendment!

    What does that have to do with Brad Pitt’s mother? Confusing.

    But anyway, its own good story too, since we’re on the subject!

    Dede’s gay husband Greg had a vasectomy 23 years ago. And Dede is pregnant. With twins. Not only that, she’s been pregnant for well over a year now, since March 2012. How truly amazing is that?! But unfortunately, Dede has not seen a doctor and they’ve made no plans for birth.

    Hope everything goes well!
