Elizabeth Daily Defended Brad Pitt Against Angelina Jolie’s Accusations
Brad Pitt’s ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Daily defended him when Angelina Jolie accused him of wrongdoings in 2016. Pitt’s girlfriend; Daily said that she had never seen him acting violently or abusively toward anyone. He was characterized by her as “a very calm and gentle guy” who treated her with respect and kindness at all times.
Daily’s remarks contrasted with Jolie’s assertions that Pitt had been “verbally abusive” and had “physically” assaulted their son Maddox aboard a private flight. Although there was an investigation launched for this matter, Pitt was not charged with any of these allegations but the charges of child abuse significantly impacted Pitt’s career. He was fired from several film projects, which damaged his reputation. Daily’s remarks, nevertheless, helped him regain some of his reputation.

Many others who knew Pitt, including his friends and coworkers, mirrored Daily’s remarks. Many of them spoke forward to refute the accusations made against him. During an interview with Daily Mail, the actress claimed,
“Brad isn’t an aggressive man. Not at all. I know Brad doesn’t behave in that kind of manner. He’s very laid back, very earthy. He was never someone that was super Hollywood, he was a very calm and gentle guy”
