Brad Pitt hasn’t said much about his yearslong divorce battle with Angelina Jolie, which finally came to an end in December 2024. Until now!

The 61-year-old Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood actor just made some rare comments about his divorce from the 49-year-old Maleficent actress in an interview with GQ. And to say fans were shocked by his blasé response would be a huge understatement!

Brad Pitt Makes Rare Comments About His Divorce From Angelina Jolie In 'GQ'

Brangelina's divorce was finalized last year, which insiders previously said was partly due to Brad's current girlfriend Ines de Ramon urging him to put an end to it once and for all so they could get on with their lives.

When asked whether the divorce – which had taken eight years to finalize due to endless disagreements about everything from custody over their six children to their Château Miraval winery – had finally brought some "relief," the F1 actor had a very interesting response.

"No, I don't think it was that major of a thing," the Ad Astra actor replied, adding: "Just something coming to fruition. Legally." Woah!

Angelina Jolie Made Cryptic Comments When Their Divorce Was Finalized

The Wolfs actor's comments come six months after the Oscar-winning actress made some cryptic comments about "liars" in an interview with W, around the time the divorce was finalized. Was it about her ex? Nobody knows for sure, but we sure can speculate…

"My pet peeve is somebody who is a liar. Somebody who feels a need to not say the truth or what they want, what they feel," the mom-of-six said.

The Eternals actress continued: "There's a big version of that – and I'm not trying to be heavy about it – but people who say one thing and mean another, who aren't completely who they are. I think a lot of people don't say what they mean." Do we think that Pitt didn't say what he meant when speaking to GQ?

Internet Reactions

Fans had a lot to say about Brad's comments in GQ on social media, with many Angelina fans being very angry with his casual response that seemed to downplay the abuse allegations that she had accused him of.

"For pretending indifference and superiority to what happened... Domestic violence! That's why his children hate him! He never apologizes and makes fun of the situation! #BradPittIsAnAbuser," wrote one X user. "

"Abuser Brad Pitt's words speak volumes in how abusive and fake he is. He is the one [who] dragged the divorce until the last minute, continued to lie through tabloids lies and calling paparazzi for pics," agreed a second, as a third concurred: "Abuser Brad Pitt trying to hide the fact of he got dumped by Angelina Jolie and all her six kids for being a domestic abuser."
