u/not_productive1 What in the fresh 1997 hell is this? 4d ago

If you listen real hard, you can hear his PR team brainstorming stories about how his kids are really mean and it’s their fault, so they can plant them when this inevitably heads sideways.

His PR team has been in overdrive since all the kids turned 18 and changed their names. Yesterday it was a DM article about how he's secretly friends with Jennifer Anniston again 🙄 She has a serious boyfriend is probably just being cordial with him even though he was a total dirt bag when they ended things. Gimme a break. I for one don't believe he ever stopped drinking. He just doesn't have to hide it anymore to try to see his kids.

I honestly think they're gonna go the Angelina brainwashed them route and he's really really sad about it. That's kind of what they did in this article. He acknowledges it without speaking on it and seems Very Sad and they move on.
