Another X user responded to this user’s post, writing, “The selective reintroduction of Angelina Jolie as a character never ceases to amaze me. I’m Gen X. I’m part of the generation that saw her make out with her brother, carry a vial of Billy Bob Thornton’s blood in public, and steal Jenn Anniston’s husband. She’s always been weird.”

A 3rd user X quoted the post, saying: “How did she ‘steal’ Jennifer Aniston’s husband? It was BRAD PITT’s responsibility to uphold his vows. Angelina Jolie would be a villain if she threw herself at Brad repeatedly DESPITE HIS REJECTIONS. Instead, he made it clear that all systems go.”
