A few months ago an Oscar pundit told me “don’t be surprised if “Babylon” goes to 2023. That’s the rumor.”
I shrugged it off, especially since, immediately after that, I emailed Paramount about the rumor and they told me the plan was still a December release.
Now, Brad Pitt, one of the stars of “Babylon”, is embroiled in controversy stemming from his 2016 divorce with Angelina Jolie.
According to a recently revealed FBI report, declassified after Jolie’s request, the actress told investigators that Pitt, who had been drinking, shrieked at her in a restroom on board a flight back from France, to the US — Jolie alleges that Pitt “grabbed her by her head,” “grabbed her by the shoulders,” shook her, and pushed her into the bathroom wall.
Jolie ended up getting injuries on her back, elbow and “a rug burn type wound” on her left hand. All of which have been identified in FBI photos.
A source close to Pitt told PEOPLE that Jolie intended to "revive an issue that was painful for everybody and was resolved six years ago" in order to "inflict the most amount of pain on her ex."
Welcome to Brad Pitt’s PR nightmare.
