Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Sleep In Separate Bedrooms: Former Bodyguard

If Brad and Angelina's former bodyguard is to be believed, Angelina is selfish and controlling, laughs at her children's tears and sleeps in a separate room from Brad.

Last year Brad and Angelina had to take legal action to keep another former bodyguard from talking about them.

In Touch released the following statement:

In an exclusive interview with In Touch, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's former bodyguard describes what he claims to be a woman whose erratic behavior, yelling fits and unreasonable demands deeply hurt not only staff members -- but especially Brad and their six children. "Angelina has a public and a private persona," claims the former bodyguard, who for security reasons chooses only to be identified by his first name, Bill. "In my opinion, the real Angelina is self-centered and a control freak. She has no patience at all. She doesn't do things out of the kindness of her heart. And she's totally psycho." While Brad is laid-back and patient with his kids' often wild behavior, Angelina is anything but. "She screams and yells a lot, then walks away," Bill says, explaining that Angelina would often "disappear into her suite for hours," leaving staffers -- and Brad -- to deal with her children. "She would punish them with silence," says Bill, adding, "I think she could be abusive at times in a mental way." If the children were to get upset by her withholding behavior, he says, Angelina didn't seem to care. "She is not moved by tears," he explains. Still more disturbing, he recalls, Angelina has a "quirky habit" of "giggling when one of her kids would start crying."

The bodyguard, who was working for Brad and Angelina at the start of their relationship, remembers "a lot of laughing and fun" and "spontaneous sex" back then. Now, though, the couple often sleeps in separate bedrooms, and that honeymoon phase seems to be ancient history. Even when they aren't actively arguing, Bill says, Angelina "nitpicks" Brad -- criticizing him constantly. "She says things like, 'Are you going to wear that shirt again today?' and tells him he's like another one of the kids." According to Bill, Brad has come to dread Angelina's phone calls. "She'll call him from the set to interrogate him," Bill explains. "His face goes white, and he just stares at his feet." When Angelina's yelling gets to be too much, Brad will "put her on speaker and walk away from the phone," Bill reveals. "Angelina will hang up and continue calling until one of the staff picks up."

how can anyone NOT believe what the bodyguard says. does everyone forget all her wierd behavior when she was with billy bob thornton--and before? even her father said she has mental problems. why have all these children if u are going to work constantly and leave them with caretakers endlessly. once she snagged brad all of asudden she had respectability. she is a major fake.FAKE FAKE FAKE!!!!! a lioness doesn;t change her stripes and she hasn't either. the only reason she had all these kids was because she knew this was the way to make sure brad would stay. conniving manipulating witch!!

You mean Angelina's only human, and she and Brad have their ups and downs? Sheesh - let's hear about the positive aspects of their obvious dedication to children.

Angelina Jolie is only human and by the way she is a Gemini, Gemini people are moody and unstable , so what? At the same time she is interesting and intelligent. Maybe she bosses some people around, but as a businesswoman, it only shows her will power. I personally think that this former so called bodyguard has a crush on Angie and made a move on her, and when she rejected him, he started backstabbing her as a revenge. This much rage seems like a revenge to me and a desire to get money for his hot story.

Who on earth can be a full time mother of 6 kids and a career woman? Of course she needs nannies to help her, and imagine you're in a house, tired from work, with 6 kids throwing tantrums, what's wrong with calling for help? It's 21st century, moms have the right to work and call for help with the kids. To me she seems very responsible for instructing her nannies with proper parenting advice. I think Brad Pitt is mesmerized by Angie's personality, charm, will power, beauty and confidence and that's why he lets her put on the pants once in a while.

As for the former heart broken greedy bodyguard, Get a life! You've probably been sacked, and I can see now why? I would have sacked you too. Disrespectful spy!

Don't you think if this person was for real and being honest, he would put his real name and contact information out there?

No one really knows what goes on in someone else's life but the people involved. Whether they sleep in separate bedrooms doesn't mean anything bad....maybe one or both snore or sleeps at different times of the night.

All of Brad and Angelina's employees have to sign confidentiality agreements. He was doing something illegal by talking to the tabloids. Hence, the lack of a real name and contact into. If Brad and Angelina want it, they will have to sue the tabloid and out the former bodyguard.

I'm not surprised she has nannies. She's just done two films back to back and made a trip to Haiti and now to Bosnia. No one can feed, burb, break up fights, entertain, and discipline six kids, and keep up that schedule.

As for Brad and Angelina sleeping in separate bedrooms. Maybe, Breaking up with six kids involved would be difficult, especially with Brad and Angelina's hectic schedules and globe trotting. Seeing them every other weekend would be difficult for Brad when Angelina's constantly moving.

If the bossiness is true, maybe Angelina should look into that. She sounds a bit Kate Gosselin to me, but then, maybe she has a reason to be. I don't know. With that many kids, moving that often, you would need to be a bit bossy, and who knows if Brad's really given up pot yet. We know he still smokes hash. Either one and he wouldn't be of much use around the kids.

Why is Huffington Post turning into the Rupert Murdoch Star Magazine - quoting an alleged bodyguard who doesn't work for Brad and Angelina any more and no one knows if he ever did or why he doesn't work for them any more. And how much did he get paid by who ever to leak this stupidity about two people who make movies, and do some charitable stuff. I expect this from WTFUXUPNEWS Murdoch's minions - but Huffington Post - what a waste of bandwidth.

Whoever wrote this article knows nothing of children. Walking away or laughing are pretty good ways of dealing with tantrums.
04:12 PM on 04/04/2010
All 7 of my kids and 16 grandchildren and numerous foster care kids early on that tantrums didn't work with me. I could throw a bigger, better tantrum (turning blue etc.) than they could so there was no point. The silent treatment and/or laughing can be a good tool also. I was an abused child so I can tell you that abusive behavior whether it is emotional or physical is terrible.

Sounds like they are both one hundred percent human condition never mind famous, wealthy, supposedly the most beautiful people blah blah blah quack quack. What are we? 1500 voyeurs all peeking into their bedrooms? Okay, consider this. They got together in a way that seemed to require deception. They built their new life on someone else's humiliation and broken heart. They have obviously a profound connection and much of it having to do with loving their children. I am most sorry and sad to hear that Angelina does not seem to be a healthy person and Brad seems to be trapped by his own loyalty to the children and possibly to her. Most relationships that start with deception and infidelity and doing injury or harm to another wind up with trust issues. Just not so public. Just human beings with a lot of attention focused on them. Can't be good.

Assuming the allegations are correct. Still, you rather eloquently said what I was just thinking. I really don't want to judge anyone I don't know personally and even then it often turns out to be a lot more complex that folks would have believed otherwise. I guess I care as I like their work but then I don't want to be one of the "1500 voyeurs" so I'm going to stop here.

Not saying I don't love Angie but she's still out there...............way out there.....hmmmm...a new book...the other side of Angelina..............

She puts on such a routine when she's out with Brad it's only visual to see she's totallly different at home. You think she's snuggling up and kissing him all the time at home? I don't think so. She's probably just the reverse. I think the woman thinks she's in a movie world when she goes out with Brad. She's flooded herself with to many children all at once and she still wants more that she won't be able to cope with she'll just hire more nannies. We've seen how wild this woman has been, I think she'll be even more wilder in her prime years. Just hold on and grab onto your seats to see what happens in this forever love story. Mr. and Mrs. Pitt, I don't think so.

Wow! Angelina Jolie and I sleep in separate bedrooms too!
09:56 AM on 04/03/2010
Oh Stop!
My in laws have been married for 40+ years and they sleep in separate bedrooms because he snores like 5 chainsaws all at once.

But how many people in their thirties and forties sleep separately? (Note that I do not assume any of this stuff to be true.)

People who have snoring spouses. My husband, as lovely as he is, makes me want to put a pillow over his head and stop the snoring FOREVER. A week of being awakened by someone whose snoring gets louder, louder, louder and then even the neighbors can hear him can drive you insane.

A person who trumpets malicious insinuations under anonymous name is nothing but a cowardly liar out to make money by selling his/her made up lies to tabloids. Man up and reveal your name and face. Tiger Woods' and Jesse James' mistresses accusers are a thousand times more believable by actually publishing their names and photos.

Please this isn't vicious lies it only benefits Joli and Pitt. Why isn't this "disgruntled" bodyguard calling out Brad for being an enabler - his kids are being "abused" and he is being praised for keeping them in this situation.

Jolie also wants the role of a villain for a kiddie movie - shes now being portrayed as a villain in "real" life apparently.

Why isn't this bodyguard exposing details of their financial affairs and their trusts and MIR like the media did to Wyclef Jean, that would be more damaging than another AJ - femme fatale story

Oh please why isn't this "bodyguard" calling Brad an enabler or In Touch for that matter.

Lets see his kids per the bodyguard are frequently subjected to bipolar behavior and abuse from one parent and he doesn't take them out of this situation but "dries" their tears and "comforts" them.

Doesn't that make him the same thing everybody called Katherine Jackson - An "enabler" and he is being praised for this.

This story is a lie from the Brangelina media team - Angelina sounds very Malificent like and by golly she wants the role as Malificent.

Brad is doing 37 movies as per imdb, and is not home at all if hes doing so much movies and definitely not home to "dry" tears, but hey per Bill he is a "hands on dad".
03:59 PM on 04/07/2010
This has got to be the funniest response yet!! You say that the Brangelina media team, which doesn't exist by the way...made this story up and sold it to a tabloid so that she can get a role as a villian in a movie!?! Hahahahahahahahaha....ooh, that is really funny.

You ought to try to write a story about a Super Villianous Beauty who plots and schemes her way through life, controlling everyone she comes in contact with, and who adopts children so she can use them for PR!!!!!!!!!!! It will write itself!!
