Brad Pitt never visits his grandmother, who lives in a sub-standard nursing home

This story doesn’t really make sense to me, but let’s play along. The British tabs – The Mail and The Sun – are reporting that Brad Pitt is a really awful grandson. His grandmother, Betty Russell, is living in a “sub-standard nursing home” in Oklahoma, and Brad hasn’t been to visit her since 2008. Grandma Betty really wishes Brad would come visit her, but she kind of understands why he hasn’t – because of The Villainess Jolie!!! No, not really. I’m honestly surprised that this report doesn’t explicitly blame Angelina:

Brad Pitt’s family have sent a public plea for the actor to visit his grandmother ahead of her 90th birthday. The Moneyball star, 48, has not seen Betty Russell, who resides in a sub-standard nursing home in Oklahoma, for over four years, according to his great-aunt.

Speaking to The Sun, Mary Ann Lanier said: ‘Betty misses him. He doesn’t write, he doesn’t seem to stay in contact with her.’

The last time Brad visited was in 2008, when he and Angelina Jolie, at the time pregnant with twins Knox and Vivienne, attended a family gathering with their children Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh.

‘The last time he came to Shawnee, Angelina was very pregnant. She was just great, just like a member of the family,’ Mary Ann told the paper. ‘There was no put-on airs or anything like that. She is a beautiful person. I’m pleased she is with Brad and pleased she’s so concerned with children, that both of them are.’

Mrs Lanier revealed that her superstar nephew used to send his grandmother flowers every month and frequently called her to check in.

Mrs Russell’s nursing home room is covered in pictures of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, with the Jolie-Pitts featuring heavily, she says.

The Rose Manor Nursing Center in Shawnee, Oklahoma, where Mrs Russell resides, rated far below average on a state inspection in December, the Sun reports.

Brad is close to his parents Jane and William, who accompanied him and Angelina to the Oscars over the weekend. The Pitts are regularly pictured visiting the couple on film sets and helping to care for their brood.

[From The Mail]

Er…?? Brad should make time to visit his granny, sure. But they make it sound like Brad shoved his grandmother into a sub-standard nursing home and he’s the ONLY one in his family who can do anything about it. What about Brad’s parents? What about Brad’s siblings? Doesn’t he have a large, extended family that all reside in Oklahoma and Missouri? But yes, he should visit his grandma. Poor Betty. And he should help find Betty a new nursing home too.

    I hope I am first to post! Poor Granny another victim of “the leg”

  2. Julie says:

    Strange that they publish it now. if they wanted to gun him down they would have published in during the oscar campaign.

  3. Bite me says:

    Jesus Brad moved granny Betty into a better nursing home

  4. brin says:

    That’s the pit(t)s….really!

  5. chloew says:

    jane pitt is very pretty

  6. Jen34 says:

    Visit your Granny, Brad. Find her a better home, too.

    • DreamyK says:

      It doesn’t say why granny is in a nursing home, but if it’s Alzheimer’s or advanced dementia (completely likely), granny probably doesn’t recognize anyone anyway. It’s very likely granny is being kept in a home that is close to family members who COULD visit, hence the Shawnee, Oklahoma nursing home.

      It may be substandard by larger city standards, but a pretty damn nice place by Shawnee standards.

    • Trek Girl says:

      If the Grandmother’s children are still alive and capable of taking care of those matters, they should be the one’s doing that, not Brad.

      • elizabeth says:

        Trust me I live here too…. it may look like a nice place for Shawnee on the outside. It may even look nice from the inside but the way its run and the people that work there are the reason it was rated so poorly after state inspection. A disgrace. Trust me when I tell you that this is no place to leave your loved ones if you care about their well-being. I know…

  7. Gine says:

    I’m always hesitant to call out celebrities for mistreating family members–some of them do, I’m sure, but families are really complicated and just because you become successful shouldn’t mean you’re therefore obligated to take care of everyone who’s related to you just because they’re related to you.

    Maybe Brad is a bad, neglectful grandson, I don’t know. But maybe he’s tried to intervene in her care and other family members have caused trouble, or maybe he’s never really been close to her, or…there are a million other possibilities. I don’t even like Brad, but as someone with a very complicated family dynamic myself, these stories always make me skeptical.

    • Meanchick says:

      I agree. We don’t know if this is true and if it is, that he’s done whatever he can do. It’s not his responsibility anyway. Also, maybe it’s too painful for him to see her in a home? When my great-grandmother was in the hospital, her sons would break down EVERY TIME they came to see her. It was too much for them to bear. I don’t think there is malice or selfishness here, just someone with an agenda.

  8. janie says:

    Seriously. I grew up seeing my extended family about once a year, so I’m not close with them and visits are always a bit awkward.

    He’s not obligated to help her out financially just because they’re related. Although I’m sure helping his grandma pay for a better nursing home wouldn’t put a dent in his bank account[s].

    • blasted1 says:

      I agree with you. A sub-standard nursing home in Oklahoma is kind of like living in the Russian Gulag in the winter and a tar-paper shack in the summer. I live here so I know. Even though Brad is not obligated, I wouldn’t be able to look at myself in the mirror if I was a multi-millionare and my sweet little grand-ma was living in what amounts to squalor.

  9. G says:

    Interesting that Granny’s first call was to the British tabs and not to her children or grand children….

    • di elepha beth says:

      the US tabs must be slowing down. beaten to the post by Brit-tabs. Fresh angle this one.
      the Jen-angle sort of died a bit because of JustJen.
      the Leg-angle sort of bored people already.
      the Children-angle has been done, the Holy Twins and Jane Pitt combo.
      hmm… who haven’t we talked about yet? Oh yeah. AUNT and GRANDMA. the kids own Great-Grandma!
      wow. who next? some Civil-War ancestor still living in a grave somewhere? this time, Vampy Jolie’s ancestor from the Voigt line. you know they’re just a bunch of Undeads.

    • YEP_ITS_HER says:

      How exactly are you privy to who her ‘first call’ was to? How do you know she has not tried to ask for help from various members of her family including Brad? Yes, that’s right, you don’t.

  10. tinker says:

    Not much press in caring for an elderly grandparent.So I am to believe he cares abut strangers? Typical.People love him because they say he loves the less fortunate. But he can’t take one day a year and visit his own darn grandmother.
    I would think the reason he could help her has more to do with finances than fame.

  11. Dawn says:

    Nope, I’m not buying it. Besides his grandmother’s children are first and foremost responsible for the care of their mother, if they are dead or in prison or the scum of the earth, only then does it fall on the grandchildren (not child BUT children)to help out. Another scum of a story that is NOT true and should never have been published let alone re-published.

  12. Cathy says:

    There AJ is with that knobby knee sticking out again in the top pic. Will these Leg-gate pictures never go away.

  13. taylor says:

    I don’t visit my grandmother, enough, and we live in the same city. I manage about every 6 weeks and wish it were more, but that’s totally on me (well, and the fact that without a car it’s damned hard, but whatever). HOWEVER, I except my parents and aunts and uncles to actually intervene for her well-being on “big things” because they’re her children/-in-law (and they do, too).

  14. Jaxx says:

    I live in Oklahoma and Shawnee is a VERY small town. It probably only has a couple of nursing homes at all and compared to national standards they would seem like crap. But his grandmother probably grew up there and knows the entire town by name. The people taking care of her probably went to school with her kids. I doubt she wants to leave her home town.

    Perspective people. If shes living there she probably wants to live there. The Pitts aren’t monsters and if Grandma wanted something else I’m sure they’d give it to her.

    • anne_000 says:

      @ Jaxx – I think ur right.

      *****
      This story doesn’t make sense to me. The grandmother would be one the mother of one of Brad’s parents, right? And he’s close to both his parents. So if either one of his parents thought his/her mother needed better care or a different place to live or more financial assistance, wouldn’t they have asked Brad to pitch in some money? And imo, he would give do as they asked without hesitation, as least this is the perception I have of his relationship with his parents.

      Also, if his parents told him to visit grandma, then he would probably do it, because imo he’s the kind of son who still listens to his parents. So I’m wondering what the real story is.

      • corny says:

        I totally agree this is just another slam at him..I don’t believe for one minute he would neglect his granny or anyone else he knew was in need. Look at all he’s done for New Orleans! Just scum writing, maybe a little jealous?

  15. kazoo says:

    Well, Shawnee, Oklahoma sucks so I’m not surprised.

  16. vic says:

    I don’t believe a word of this. Doesn’t fit in with anything I’ve seen from this man who sees his parents so much and has 6 little rug rats. I refuse.

  17. Mac says:

    When describing nursing homes, “rated far below average” speaks volumes about Granny’s current quality of life.

    Abandoning one’s grandmother speaks volumes about the grandchild.

    • Mairead says:

      Don’t forget that the source of this information is The Sun, whose association with the concept of integrity and truth is tenuous at best. People in Liverpool don’t buy it for a good reason. Don’t let your automatic assumption that what The Sun or The Daily Fail say is accurate speak volumes on your gullibility.

      And considering that Pitt’s own brother isn’t exactly on the poverty line, it would mean that the entirety of the family, with the sole exception of the Granny’s sister (?) is “abandoning” her.

  18. Lauren says:

    Why is this being revealed after the Oscars? First the AJ Leg, now Granny. Granny is able to communicate and talk..she is much more lucid than a lot of folks in nursing homes. Now Granny is trying to extort money from Brangelina. She could have handled this privately.

  19. Jill says:

    Okay, the source for this story is a British tabloid which makes the whole story bullshit right there.

    If Grandma really is in a nursing home, he is not responsible for her care. That is the job of Bill and Jane Pitt.

    We don’t know what kind of nursing home care is available in a small town like Shawnee, Oklahoma, but I’d imagine it’s not the five-star variety like you can find in NYC, LA or other places. Maybe Grandma wanted to be close to her family and maybe Bill and Jane Pitt wanted her to be close enough to visit.

    I had to put my mom in a nursing home when she became too ill from Alzheimers to care for herself and I have to work full time or my mortgage doesn’t get paid. Fortunately living in NYC there are a lot of resources available and she was in a really excellent nursing home located 20 minutes walking distance from my house so I was able to see her every few days. It’s a wrenching decision for the entire family and I’m not faulting either Brad or the senior Pitts or Brad’s siblings. I’d need more information to make a judgement call and I’m not judging anything or anyone based on some crap story spewed out by The Mail and The Sun.

    • Just U says:

      So sorry to hear about your mother. That must be hard. Good for you doing what you can for her.
      Maybe, if this story is true, which I doubt, Grandma Pitt is happy where she lives. I know my Grandma wouldn’t move anywhere else.
      The S*n is a rag. I don’t believe a word they print. They lie.

      • Jill says:

        My mom passed away two years ago. When she died her Alzheimers was so far advanced she didn’t even recognize me. But she died peacefully in her sleep after having received devoted care from the nursing staff during her stay. I will be forever grateful to them.

  20. LoL says:

    He cakes on foundation and Uses too much Botox.

    He can’t even make sure his baby momma is well fed and taken care of so no surprise that he left his grandma in a messed up home 🙂

    • Jill says:

      I hope you aren’t as vicious in real life as you sound on this blog.

      • LoL says:

        oh please! I’m not half as vicious as some of the posters here. I just like pointing out brad’s overuse of makeup and Botox. 🙂

      • Jill says:

        @ LoL: And also implying that he is uncaring toward his partner and neglecting his grandmother, or did you miss that part?

  21. Jeanette says:

    Im an Oklahoman too Shawnee is about an hour from me, and I have worked in nursing homes several in fact, though never this one. I wouldnt put my dog in a nursing home. Aides are underpaid-always short staffed, and usually girls who are in college, or just flat not interested in doing anything else work there as aides. You either love it or hate it. Its back breaking-heart breaking work. If my kids put me in a nursing home I will haunt them when I die.
    In the Pitts’ defense, it is possible that they have their own staff there to take care of granny there at the facility, which I have seen before. If she suffers from dementia or is a fall risk or suffers from anything that couldnt really be addressed at home, a nursing home really is the best place for her unless you have the means (hello) for 24 hour care.

    • Jill says:

      That’s exactly why my mom was in a nursing home. She refused to have a home attendant in spite of me and my aunt urging her to get one. She was alone in the house and fell down and couldn’t get up. It was a miracle that she fell down the day the cleaning lady was coming (she came only once every two weeks) or she would have been on the floor until later that night when I got home from work and could have died. She couldn’t reach the phone.

      A nursing home isn’t a pleasant option but for some older people it’s the only option. More and more middle-aged people, especially women, are finding themselves faced the problem of how to provide care for their aged parents when they can’t quit work to stay home and care for them themselves.

    • Mairead says:

      With respect, although that’s your experience, that is not accurate across the board. Many homes are questionable with dreadful work practices and with patients in serious danger and families and governments must be vigilant in stamping out abuse.

      However many, many more are good well-run efficient places caring for those who can’t care for themselves.

      • Jill says:

        You’re quite right, and you really have to research, and visit, the nursing homes before deciding on one for your parent(s). There are five in my area and I visited them all. The one I finally decided on for my mom had the best facilities and the patients appeared to be very well cared for.

  22. NO SH¡T says:

    One she and/or her sister went to a british tab which makes this story HIGHLY suspect!

    Two since it says in the story that Bill and Jane Pitt visits her how about she ask them call their son for her instead idk *shrugs* just a suggestion

  23. lucy2 says:

    I don’t care for BP, but this story sounds ridiculous. The family seems close, I doubt they’d shove Granny off into a bad environment.

  24. Dibba says:

    Maybe we will get to see Grandma Betty if AJ and BP will take her out for some photos! Shopping in Shawnee, pushing her wheelchair, etc. Twins can sit on Betty’s lap in wheelchair.

    • Ell says:

      Lol….I bet they’re kicking themselves they missed this op, it would have been a perfect follow up to the leg.

  25. ladybert62 says:

    Off topic, but anyway, I really like that oscar dress worn by Jane Pitt!

  26. Toot says:

    I read the article at The Sun and in the article it says Betty wants to be in that particular nusing home because she’s comfortable there.

    As for Brad not visitin, the great aunt should have talked to Bill and Jane instead of The Sun.

  27. shannon says:

    Who knows what the real story is? I have three half-siblings I wouldn’t recognize if they came up to me on the street, but for sure if I got rich and famous they’d probably want money and hit up the tabs if I didn’t give it to them (which I wouldn’t). Not saying that’s the situation with Brad Pitt, but really it’s a private family issue. I’d give my grandmother my last dime if she needed it; every situation is different.

  28. Newtsgal says:

    Why are they dumping this all on Brad,
    last time I looked there is a Mr & Mrs. Pitt….why aren’t they taking care of their mother…..oh, that’s right cuz unless it’s about Brad then there is no story.

  29. Esmom says:

    Here’s a thought…the Brange can take her in themselves! Kinda like adopting another one! Princess Z would make a great companion for granny, don’t ya think? And the leg…I’m sure the leg would also be helpful.

    Kidding….I call complete BS on the story.

  30. Dibba says:

    I think BP and AJ can lend a hand (or a leg) and get a “leg up” on the situation. Unless AJ is a total “heel” or Brad isn’t “calf” the man he should be.

  31. maggiegrace says:

    As an aside, Brad is a fine looking man, who looks much younger than his 48 years. Can you just imagine how hot he would look if he shaved off that graying facial hair and CUT HIS STRINGY HAIR?????

  32. di elepha beth says:

    forget about Brad moving the granny to a better care home
    Brad can BUILD, STAFF not only ONE but several better care homes for granny and granny’s care home friends.

    but srsly,
    my granny, bless her, when she was alive, she actually asked to be moved into a care home because most of her friends gradually moved there, for one or other reason. they moved around a bit do care-home-musical-chair, and finally ended up in one care home which really wasn’t the best (really really wasn’t), but it just appealed to them for whatever reason. plus, it could take all of them in one place.

    we wanted to move her to a different place, closer to us, but she was like: “damnit, all my friends are here. y’all are busy working anyway. and neither one of you can play canasta for sh-t”

    • Mairead says:

      True that. My late grandfather was in a private nursing home for the last 6 months of his life (he was 93 when he passed, so he had a good innings) which his children didn’t think much of, but he loved. We’d prefer him in the public nursing home across the road from my parents’ house for various reasons, but he wouldn’t go. After a break a Christmas he asked to go back and was delighted to see the Matron. He actually smiled when he saw her – the man who hadn’t cracked a grin since at least 1951, if not 1941!!! We thought we were seeing things. No accounting for the whims of the elderly. 😆

  33. Ron says:

    OK so I call BS on this story. My Grandma was in a nursing home/assisted living the last 3 years of her life. I would make sure that I sent her a card of flowers every month. She loved getting mail, so that to me was important. I called her in the beginning, but after ahwile she could not understand me on the phone, becuase she couldn’t hear me. Then i got a call from a cousin of mine asking me why I didn;t call Grandma. Sheesh! So i understand family bitching about this stuff.

  34. Tazina says:

    This reeks of the usual effort to blame a celebrity for something that has nothing to do with them. I would think it would be up to the woman’s daughter, Mrs. Pitt, to handle an issue like this, not the grandson. As a kindly gesture, however, it would be good of Brad to pay for his grandmother to be in a decent nursing home.

    • Lucky Charm says:

      Grandma Betty is actully Bill Pitt’s mom, not Jane’s. Her first husband was Bill’s dad, her second was Mr. Russell.

  35. ladybert62 says:

    I am sure you all know I am not a fan of goatboy or trampie, but even I have my doubts about this story.

    I have an elderly aunt (96) who is also in a nursing home and probably by some definition it is substandard – but there is no other option. We live in different states and money is limited (unlike goatboy) – but there are all kinds of rules about things auntie can receive at the home and trying to talk to her on the telephone is an adventure into wonderland if I can even get hold of her. Letter writing works occasionally (I usually cant read her writing) but I continue to correspond every week – but it is difficult; and dont even mention email or internet access. She does not have alzheimers (spelling?) and I dont recall seeing if that was a factor in goatboy’s grandma. But there are so many things that have to be considered in this type of situation – for once, I wont jump on the anti bandwagon and judge goatboy poorly about this.

    And just to emphasize what several other posters have said, my aunt picked this one because she had friends there and she could bring in some of her very own furniture (not much, but some was important to her). I concluded from this, that what me and my sisters saw as “substandard” were in categories totally different from what my aunt saw as important to her in her final years.

    Now, can we get back to that ridiculous leg story? Ha ha

  36. Sillyone says:

    If his grandmother is anything like my grandmother, I would walk on fire before I went to visit that old bitty. She is a horrible person and if I had I choice to choose her nursing home “sub standard” would be an improvement from where I would stick her!

    By the way it’s not Brad’s responsibility to stick her anywhere, just like it isn’t my responsibility to stick my grandmother some place.

    • Jill says:

      Yikes! That’s pretty harsh. To be honest, my mom and I didn’t get along for the most part (she was the Original Control Freak who tried to run everybody else’s lives) but when she was no longer able to care for herself, I wasn’t about to relegate her to some dump where she would develop bed sores from neglect. Even if your grandmother is a bitch on wheels, she’s still a human being and deserves to be treated like one.

  37. laura says:

    the twinsies holding hands in the last picture are sooooo darling! makes me miss my own twin.

  38. Peachy says:

    He was really good in LeGends of the Fall.

  39. Dibba says:

    Brad’s mother looks like a super nice person. I am sure AJ misses her mom. If I were BP’s mother, I would want to be around those kids 24-7 they are so cute!

    • Jill says:

      24-7? No you wouldn’t. I have a two and a half year old grandson I absolutely adore, but one of the best perks about being a grandparent is you get to spoil them rotten and send them home.

  40. aprayerforthewildatheart says:

    Aging parents are the responsibility of their children, legally children are “next of kin” unless they’re married. Brad, and his siblings, will be responsible for his parents.

    As for the “story” itself, I hate that the tabs bothered a 77yo woman, who was obviously tricked into giving an interview, so they could cherry pick a story that makes BP look bad, desperate much?

    Criminals try that crap all the time with my grandmother, ask for “donations” to questionable “charities”, try to get her CC info, say they are a relative, and ask her for money. She tells them all where to stick it, she may be 83, but granny don’t play. 😉

  41. Mairead says:

    If anyone is interested, I think that this is the referenced report:
    http://www.ucomparehealthcare.com/nhs/report2.html?L=3410360421171712211262&R=Px1zKtOT67n1s4j3u2b4D1uuB&I=34103604&page=1

    From what I can see, and if I’m interpreting the data correctly, where they’re really falling down is in the area of staffing and some issues surrounding nutrition etc. The instances of sores is reassuringly below average – although still far too high, and would be stamped out almost entirely with correct staffing and training.

    In some instances, although they’re below the state average, they can be bang-on the national average. What this tells me is that the average standard is pretty woeful and adds credence to what Jeanette said above, so I apologise for doubting you.

  42. Rosalee says:

    Awhile ago someone who worked at granny’s home posted a comment on a BP story. If I recall it was in regards to what a caring and loving grandson BP is..I kinda keep track of stories involving grandparents because I am one and that beautiful grandchild of mine better remember she promised to have dinner with me every Sunday and I promised to wait in the car when she’s trying on wedding dresses.

  43. pwal says:

    Personally, I think that the aunt and Granny were manipulated. I think that they genuinely miss Brad and the rest of the Jolie-Pitts, but they weren’t savvy enough to know that their missing them would be twisted into something shady.

    Besides, I seem to remember the 2008 tabloid article that sourced Betty. I think it was written before Brad and Angelina disclosed that they were having twins, but the tabloids implied that Betty revealed that Angelina was carrying a baby boy. Anyway, while Grandma Betty inadvertently and innocently dropping dime may be a concern, their not visiting her is probably about the JPs being too busy.

    Brad is supposed to be in NOLA for some MIR event in a few weeks; maybe he was going to visit her- maybe not. But attempting to make this into something seems pretty petty. Mind you, I would’ve expected the tabloids to contact Zahara’s alleged biological mother and grandmother first. Their child in peril stories have mainly consisted of Shiloh’s haircut=gender identity crisis.

  44. e.non says:

    his mother is a striking woman and i love that gown — and that color… she just oozes good vibes; while his dad seems happy to stay in the background.

  45. anna says:

    Brad hasn’t visited his grandmother for FOUR years? Did I get that wrong?

    This means all these kids have a great-grandparent. If Brad has a lovely relationship with Betty, why the hell hasn’t he taken the family to visit great-grannie? That makes NO sense. The kids fly all over the world all of the time and no one goes to oklahoma in 4 years? something smells fishy.

  46. ManicPixieDreamGirl says:

    I think everyone should visit their grandparents in nursing homes whether they are assholes or not. What a sad and lonely place to live.

  47. Cirque28 says:

    Sounds like BS. At that age, my great-aunt swore she was pregnant by the Denver Broncos*, so occasionally the elderly get confused. He probably visited last month and she’s like, “It’s been at least 4 years!”

    *Luckily, no baby ever materialized.

  48. anytime says:

    i have a feeling that he didn’t have a loving relationship with his gran which is why he hasn’t visited since 2008. nevertheless he should have her transferred to a good nursing home it’s the least he can do. what an ass. he keeps wiping his butt on golden leaved toilet paper in his ancient french chateau, goes to premieres in slick armani, doesn’t even care that his own grandmother is in a sub standard place that shoves the pills down the old people’s throats. he should have stayed with jeniston, who was attending movie premieres when her mother had suffered from a stroke and was struggling to pay the bills. god, all these people are hateable.

  49. Katherine says:

    Are you telling me that this granny’s kids never take her home for holidays or other visits? That should be easy enough to do since they have the resources to facilitate home visits. Since Brad visits his folks in Missouri it’s entirely possible that he has seen her but just not visited her at her nursing home.

    If some scumpseudoreporter is really bothering this woman or her daughter rather than just making this story up out of whole cloth then they are beyond offensive.

  50. mememe says:

    I don’t buy it.

  51. Bella says:

    Oh, please! This news is from the British tabloids. Can’t believe people are so naive! Anyway, Angelina looks gorgeous in that white pantsuit.

  52. dietcokeho says:

    wow you people are animals. “maybe he wasnt close to her”?! Are you joking me! Shes his frigin grandma! I dont care if she beat him with a belt for stealing cookies from the cookie jar as a child shes an old woman and deserves respect. And yes he is a millionaire with funds none of us can even imagine ever having no matter how well we do, so yes it his his sole job to put her in a fancy nursing home-not his parents who are probably poor-if it wasnt for his granda he wouldnt be around living the fabulous life he leads. He should be shelling out a little everyone who made it possible for him to exist. you cant take it with you, and brad, dont be stingy!

  53. Hikkilove says:

    Wow so many heartless people here. Thank God that none of you people are related to me. Is there seriously a question of who’s responsibility it should be to take care of someone they supposedly LOVE? Thats ridiculous. The woman is going to be 90 years old. A visit once every four years? Really? She probably doesn’t even have another four years. In an ideal world, yes the children would take care of their parents. But Brad has the money. It would be nothing for him to put her somewhere nice. And whats this about being too busy? Too busy to visit his 90 year grandmother at least once a year? Thats silly.

    If you are so wealthy, this is your obligation to make sure your own grandmother is getting the best care.

    Why is she even in a nursing home?
    He could have his parents move to a larger house, have one part of her hers, have 24/7 nurses and other care providers take care of her and her life would be so much better.

    I don’t understand how people can be so cold hearted even when they have all the means to take care of their family.

    I wish I could have helped some family members who got very ill and needed help.

    Sorry, but even if this nursing home is just “average”, then shame on him.

    Total B.S. – somebody who has his parents around a lot DOESN’T ignore his grandparents….. I’d say the Great Aunt is jealous that Grandma has too many pictures etc of Brad and Angelina’s children….. This is a crock.

    The nursing home Betty is in is by far the best around there and she is happy and treated very good so quit with all the drama if you all dont know what you’re talking about!
