Angelina Jolie's 'Heroic' Double Mastectomy: Brad Pitt Responds!

Bless you Angelina, you are a strong courageous woman. Perez I love you dearly!

she made the decision and I support that. I think she felt this was what she needed to do, but I can't say I agree with her. It seems very drastic to do this on a chance that she'll develop cancer. I wouldn't do the same. However, I did not watch my mother die in her 50s and I don't have 7 kids, so I guess she weighed that, but a percentage chance, even 87% doesn't mean she'd ever have contracted cancer. However, good luck to her and I hope she has a good recovery.

God blesss this woman, her heart is without a doubt strong and amazing!

Heroic? I'd do the same thing if I had health insurance and/or millions of dollars. Heroic indeed…

Good for her but she is still a homewrecker.

So if she has 50% chance of ovary cancer does that mean she had to have her ovaries removed? Or how does that work? Removing the breasts stops the ovary cancer part?

Re: Amanda – I'm sorry, I didn't realize Brad isn't an adult. Here I was thinking the breakdown of his marriage is really the fault of him AND HIS WIFE! Jen is not some sweet little angel. Brad has said that he was unhappy with himself and the marriage so blaming Angie is REALLY junior high. grow up!

Oh please. This drip will say anything she wants him to; it's been known for years that Pitt get all of his personality through his women. Jolie is not heroic, she's an ignorant, self-indulgent asshole of a whore. I don't see her as brave or particularly smart, and the decision to mutilate herself is sad. With diligent monitoring she could have saved a ton of money, her own body parts, AND her life. And you liberal twats who are applauding her are retarded.

I guess the 'heroic' is a little over stated. As Many here said, given financial possibility many of us would do it, especially with a strong history of this particular ailment in one's family. Nothing heroic about it. Intelligent attitude perhaps, but not heroic.
Now, lets see… So, no breasts now? Hmmm… I am sure I read somewhere that Pitt has some weird tastes (like a skeletal looking women) and that makes me wonder if a mutilated skeletal body is his latest thing? How long will it be before he will realise it's totally awful? I think Miss Jolie should embrace herself for a nasty surprise. And please, I ask you all politely, don't harp to me about eternal love.

I've never liked either of them and found her globetrotting "Aid" work problematic in many ways, but her decision to make her decision public has completely changed my view of her. What a brave, eloquent woman. She' put her image and her career at risk as the biggest star in an industry which thrives on body fascism in order to benefit other women who might face the same hurdles and choices she has. Pitt's response is also lovely. I'm very impressed and even moved.

It's self preservation, not heroic, and the woman can certainly afford to have it done.
After women have had kids, surgeries don't seem so scary. She has kids to get grown.

i still find it hard to beleive they werent screwing before the marriage break up… its sad her mother died and its sad she had to do this but doesnt take away all the evil twisted things she did…brad has no personaity at all its like he has had a personality removal ..

Surprise–Celebs have problems just like the rest of us…Smart decision, yes, but not worthy of the 'hero' medal the media wants to pin on her. I'd rather pin it on the unsung everyday heroes who are undergoing cancer treatment and still have to hold down a job or raise their kids while bearing the financial burden that cancer brings.

Wow some pretty nasty people on here, I think shes great and look at what she did and she put up with that! oh come on peeps shes been through alot.

Re: nellie.69 – lol good point!
Re: Wills – I think we ALL have been through a lot. Your argument is weak, to say the least.
