It’s been a few days already and Entertainment Tonight has still not issued a retraction to their story of Angelina Jolie giving birth.
Her rep has already denied it, stating “Angelina has not given birth. She is fine, enjoying her home and her family in France.”
No other publications are printing it.
No photos of the babies have leaked.
Brad Pitt was spotted with son Maddox at the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello that same weekend.
Doubt the new dad would be in another country instead of with his premature newborn babies.
And, you know as soon as Angelina gives birth, the French media is going to be all over it!
But, despite the obvious, the executive producer for Entertainment Tonight is still waiting to “see how this story plays out” before they issue any type of retraction.
Foot in mouth!
Even the Associated Press, who originally picked up the story after speaking to ET executives, later denied the reports, quoting Brad Pitt’s manager as stating the news was not true.
Jolie’s attorneys have even notified news organizations that someone posing as Angelina’s personal assistant had sent out the false information.
Linda Bell Blue, executive producer for ET and The Insider, said in a statement on Monday, “Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are friends of Entertainment Tonight. We have spent years cultivating that friendship, working with them side by side on many of their projects. We wish them and their children well. We are waiting to see how this story plays out.”
Someone is going to lose a lot of credibility when Angelina does pop out those babies and there’s still no retraction issued.
