The Media's Love Affair With the "Other Woman"
 

136786
Now that Michael Wolff's spot is blowing up and his marriage is falling apart, the role of his young mistress Victoria Floethe is being scrutinized by every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the media. And that's not all they're scrutinizing: Lucky for the savvy and beautiful Floethe, she's in the process of turning a tale that could make her look like the evil other woman, into an empowered story of a young woman trying to make it in New York City.

The duality of how the media portrays these "other women" of media tycoons, a combination of fascination/demonizing, may well be changing now that these young women are refusing to hide in the background or become merely trophy wives. These are women who want to be known for more than just shtupping someone else's husband. And more and more often, they are pulling it off.

Angelina Jolie

Stole Brad Pitt from Jennifer Aniston whilst filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2005. Four years later, and everyone involved is still acting like they give a shit to feed the P.R. machine that gives them magazine covers/foreign babies.

Who writes these columns now? Somebody's brain damaged 13 year old niece? seriously. the captions don't even make sense. soooo, um, let me get this straight… brad & angelina ("everyone involved" as you state..or at least 2 of the 3) act like they "give a shit" for the "foreign babies," they want? Oooooh. Burn. Do yourself a favor. Acquaint yourself with google, and you'll find Angelina got her "foreign baby," when she was 24 years old, almost 8 years ago - long before she met Brad Pitt. That said, including Angelina in this shit is a low blow. Even that whiny pathetic TV sit-com hack whose made a second career out of lame parasitic stalker like behavior of an ex, has said Brad and she were toast, and that 'he didn't cheat.' Their marriage was over and Angelina was there - she was just NEXT. So when you next examine the media 'love affair,' with the other woman, you can include your own hypocritical illiterate asses in the mix, since you drop Brad and Angelina's (and their coattail riding 'friend's) names whenever you get the chance for hits on your NOW shittier than ever website.

Hey Bryan, does it physically hurt to get all that armor on and than gallop away into the sunset to white-knight one of the richest women in the world?

They're called Brangeloonies for a reason. It may not have been the case for Angelina, but how sad that for many of these women sleeping with some guy was the preferred route to "success."

You can not steal a person from another person. You can not own another human being in the USA that's illegal. I don't remember the Media or Aniston informing us that Jennifer bought/paid for Brad Pitt (if she did I wonder how much she paid). The tabloids stalked Jen/Brad's every move and the one main theme was their marriage was on the rocks (Brad wanted babies and JA wanted to focus on her career), no matter how often they both denied it. And look at that 4 years later and Brad's got almost a baker's dozen and JA focused on her career.

Jennifer filed for and divorced Brad not the other way around (stated by JA, Brad and JA friends–Sheryl Crowe).

The only people responsible to that marriage were Brad and Jen, so all the anger of betraying poor Jenny needs to be directed toward Brad Pitt. Although if you go back and look at the press/media that marriage was over years before the masses even acknowledged it or knew about.

Angelina doesn't look anything like that anymore. She's gotten really haggard and ugly the last few years. Brad too. I doubt she could steal anyone's husband now.

And shut up Cliniqua. I know that's you posing as "Bryan". Only you say "TV hack" when referring to Aniston. Go back to JJ or JJB. Or were you banned again?

And Ruth, it was most certainly the case for Angelina. Was she this famous or rich before Brad? Nope.

The rumors are swirling that Angie will soon end up like Robert Rodguez's wife, except she'll be stuck with 6 kids. I wonder how she'll get another woman's husband with all of that baggage? I guess she'll just be the 21st century Mia Farrow.

Why this thread suddenly become all about Angelina Jolie. Why did the author forgot to include JULIA ROBERTS name ? Julia even won a t-shirt proclaiming her hate on Moder's wife vera when the wife wouldn't like to divorced Moder. Whoever wrote this piece is probably get dumped by her husband/bf and is a fan of Jennifer Aniston, the serial dumpee.

Angelina is an easy target for lies and media tabloids because she does not fight back. She is a truth teller and they can not satnd that. Oh and by the way, she did not steal Brad. He ran away. If it were not Angie, it would have been somebody else and all these crazy women would be just as jealous.
