After their split hit the headline, Jolie remained silent but Pitt opened up about their separation in an interview with GQ in 2017. He said, ‘We’re both doing our best. I heard one lawyer say, ‘No one wins in court – it’s just a matter of who gets hurt worse’,’ he said. ‘And it seems to be true, you spend a year just focused on building a case to prove your point and why you’re right and why they’re wrong, and it’s just an investment in vitriolic hatred.
