According to insiders, Jolie had high expectations for an Oscar nomination, with many critics calling her performance in Maria a “career-defining” role. The fact that she wasn’t even nominated has reportedly left her stunned and convinced that Pitt worked behind the scenes to turn the industry against her.

“She was sure this role would catapult her back to the top of Hollywood,” a source revealed. “Now, she’s convinced that Brad had a hand in ensuring she was overlooked.”

Decades-Long Feud Resurfaces

Jolie and Pitt’s bitter split in 2016 led to a years-long legal battle that only officially ended in December. Their highly publicized divorce included allegations of domestic disputes, custody battles, and legal wrangling over their shared business ventures.

“Angelina feels that Brad spent years painting her as the villain,” an insider claimed. “She believes Hollywood bought into his smear campaign, and the Oscar snub is proof that he succeeded.”

Adding to the drama, sources suggest Pitt may not have acted alone. Reports claim that Jennifer Aniston, his first ex-wife, could have also played a role. The long-standing tension between Jolie and Aniston dates back to 2005 when Pitt left Aniston for Jolie after meeting on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

“It’s been 20 years, but Jennifer has never truly forgiven Angelina,” another insider alleged. “And there are plenty of powerful people in Hollywood who still side with her.”

Is Jolie Ready to Leave Hollywood for Good?

Despite missing out on an Oscar nomination, Jolie did secure a Golden Globe nod but lost to Fernanda Torres for her performance in I’m Still Here. Some sources say the latest snub has only deepened her frustration with the industry and may push her to focus more on her humanitarian efforts.

“She’s been talking about leaving Hollywood for years, and this could be the final straw,” a source claimed. “She sees this as proof that the industry is against her, and she’s done playing their game.”

Meanwhile, sources close to Pitt have denied any involvement, insisting he has no interest in sabotaging Jolie’s career.

Jolie has yet to publicly address the Oscar snub or the allegations against Pitt and Aniston. Until then, fans will continue speculating whether this Hollywood feud is far from over.
