Brad Pitt and Angelina s Latest Drama Why Shows Like Entertainment Tonight are a Dying Breed

On to entertainment tonight, which thus far has evaded the nerves crosshairs. No more, no more. Their lead story, May 19th, 2026, so this I think was Tuesday. It was their lead story, Brad Pitt's daughter, Zahara, is the latest member of the child army to drop the Pitt surname. This is their lead story. Now, you can tell they're trying not to alienate Brad and they're trying not to alienate Angelina. But we're going to take apart the way they chose to tell this story. And again, our forensic dissection of this is just going to show exactly what is wrong with these dinosaurs. Here we go. Now, that's setting the table because one of these children graduated. What needs commenting upon, in my opinion, is that your children should not be your best friends. Parents should not be in the business of making sure their children like them. Parents should be in the business of raising conscientious, decent, responsible, contributing members of society. That's the job description. If you're that invested in your kids liking you, you got issues. Secondly, Angelina, just my opinion, in that clip there and in others, is often on red carpets looking as if she is visibly high. Let's get real. Now, E.T. is going to tell us that Zahara's graduation has made headlines. Here we go. Sunday afternoon, Angelina was there when 21-year-old Zahara accepted her college diploma, notably dropping her dad's last name, Pitt. Zahara Marley Jolene. Then, yesterday, a report citing a source close to Angie called out Brad for heartlessly skipping the ceremony. An E.T. source defending Brad and firing back, calling it, quote, sad that someone would distract from this happy occasion by needlessly attacking a father who has been alienated from his family. How did this graduation make headlines? I think Angelina wanted to make sure it made headlines and fed that quote about being heartbroken that their father missed such a momentous occasion. Is this woman for real? I mean, I have columned on the FBI report about what happened on that plane, and it was ugly. By all accounts, it was very ugly. But she's made it very clear, Zahara is now the fourth Jolie Pitt child to have dropped the name Pitt. Shiloh, Vivienne, Maddox, and now Zahara have dropped the name Pitt. The guy has gotten the memo. He's not welcome. He's not wanted. So why is she going to E.T. and saying, I can't believe he would miss such a momentous occasion? How could E.T. not comment on that or go back to her reps or to Angelina herself, if she's the one who dropped that, it sounds awfully close to Angelina, and say, hey, sister, you've made it very clear that the family wants nothing to do with this guy. Why would he think he's got an invitation to show up? How did E.T. get that footage with an unobstructed view of Zahara Jolie accepting her diploma? Brad's camp, very smart. Very smart. They kept it vague. They didn't personalize it. They didn't make that point, though any sentient human being can figure that out. They said, listen, the guy's alienated from his kids. And when four of six kids dropped the surname Pitt, you know, yeah, bad ---- went down on that plane. The guy seems to have gotten clean and sober and gotten his act together. He's said publicly, I fucked up. I've tried. I'm trying. You know, you got to wonder. You have to wonder. Here's E.T., their coverage of sandwiching in this private, this fight, this, this, this, this really, really, really ugly scene that went down on that plane. Listen to the way a particular word is mispronounced. Here we go. The FBI investigated their private jet altercation in 2016. Altercation. This is a prerecord. This is a prerecorded packaged segment. This E.T., this highly paid correspondent does not know how to pronounce the word altercation. And apparently nobody working on that prerecorded segment knows either. It's altercation. We're coming for you, man. We're coming for you. This is it. And then at the end of this segment, that's about as long as it was. It was like two minutes. At the end of this segment, Kevin Frazier, who we've already gone after for his interview with Jafar Jackson, you know, we can revisit it on an earlier nerve. He's standing there next to his co-host, whose name escapes me. And he, he, he makes this, this pointed, specific, unique observation. He goes, you know, wow, alienated Brad's alienated from his kids. He feels alienated. You know, I can say as a father, I can tell you, you know, wait for it. I can tell you that must be really difficult. A lot of skincare companies out there are purporting to sell you wholesome natural products. The trouble is that most of these big names out there are owned by mega corporations and private equity firms that prioritize profit over quality.
