Brad Pitt is ‘glowing’ around ‘extroverted, outgoing, vivacious’ Neri Oxman

Brad Pitt attends "War Machine" Press Conference in Tokyo

Brad Pitt loves and adores Neri Oxman. I’ve finally come around to it. For days, I thought the Neri Oxman story was a feint, some kind of cover story gossip to hide whatever or whoever Brad has been doing lately. But that’s not what this is. Neri Oxman and Brad are really happening. It’s the only explanation for why Brad’s people are going so full-throttle with these stories, and it’s the only explanation for why Neri Oxman hasn’t shut it down. They’re boning. He finds her intellectually stimulating. And she finds him… well, God knows. I still wish I could say this to Neri directly: baby, you could do better. But the conversation in the tabloids is all about convincing people that SHE is worthy of HIM. Because we live in Bizarro World.

Head over heels! Brad Pitt has been “light and carefree” since meeting his new girl Neri Oxman, an insider close to the actor reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly.

The War Machine actor, 54, has been seeing the Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor, 42, for six months and the insider adds that Pitt is “glowing around her.” While the architectural designer’s appearance might’ve caught Pitt’s eye at first, it’s her personality and intelligence that really grabbed his attention. “Design is her specialty, so it’s not hard to see why Brad would be attracted to her,” the insider told Us. “Neri is a very passionate, extremely smart and talented woman. She is very extroverted, outgoing, vivacious and loving.”

“Men and women love Neri. She has a way of making you feel as if you’re the only person in a crowded room,” the pal added. “Being around Neri is intoxicating as if you’re flying high above the mountains.” The insider revealed that Pitt has fallen for her charm and that now “you can hear his grin” when speaking to him.

The pair met in November 2017 after he came across a line of 3D-printed chaise lounges she created and he arranged to meet with her at MIT.

[From Us Weekly]

“It’s not hard to see why Brad would be attracted to her…” Again, no one is questioning that. She’s beautiful, intelligent, interesting and she seems like a cool lady. The question is: why is Neri Oxman going with Brad? What does she find so stimulating about a man who bonged his way out of one marriage and drank his way out of another marriage? What’s so great about a guy who can’t be alone, and who has to “adopt” the personality of his girlfriend or wife? I’m so glad Brad is so light and carefree these days, because as it’s been made clear, our sympathies are supposed to be with him. Not the child he was accused of abusing. Not the estranged wife who has full custody of their six children. Everyone was lighting prayer candles, hoping that Poor Brad would find someone hot to bang.

    She farts, like everyone.

    • Darla says:

      And that’s all I have to say about that nonsense. Back to the Sean Hannity thread! Fun fun fun! Talk about flying high above the mountains! Exactly how I felt yesterday when the Hannity news broke!

      • DIRTNAP says:

        But @Darla! Neri is the modern day Diane Court! She’s a brain trapped in the body of a game show hostess!

        I wonder if she’ll give Brad a 3-D printed pen when she breaks up with him …

    • Vesta says:

      But… her farts are architecturally perfect, vivacious genius farts?

    • Coop says:

      Lmao, I love you.

    • citney says:

      @Darla

      Wonder if Ms. Oxman was sitting on the wing of Angie’s plane as she was flying “high above the mountains”.

      Next, we’re going to hear how Neri Oxman not only flies planes, she f*cking INVENTED them. LOL

    • Helen Smith says:

      Brad’s new girlfriend always is a special unicorn who poops rainbows. She remains that way until they break up at which point she becomes boring. He did the same thing with Jen and Angelina.

  2. InVain says:

    OVERKILL.

    • Andrea1 says:

      Have you seen the latest Usweekly story saying Brad has never been this happy since meeting Angelina Jolie. I’m just glad Angie isn’t responding and just doing her thing

      • Milla says:

        Poor little Brad. He had to stay with crazy Angie and have kids with her. He had to cheat on his first wife. He had to smoke pot and drink. He had to, until he met another soon to be fiance, cos that’s what he needs.

        Why is this woman with a manchild? For fun? Cos i cannot understand what else she sees in him… Oh, maybe nice plastic surgeries. And six kids, but we don’t know if he can be left alone with them…

      • FLORC says:

        This is all a mess. Wow. And he’s really pushing his happy stories. It’s not quiet enjoyment. It’s needing to be known.
        Also, yea. His kids. The full custody. The relationship issues. Dude needs to grow.

      • Slushee says:

        Angie is the original succubus.

      • Maya says:

        @Slushee: wow that’s vile – shame on you if you are a woman attacking another woman like that.

      • fiona says:

        Milla he did not cheat on his first wife.

    • annabanana says:

      I’m gonna admit it, I like brad more than Angelina waaaayyyyy more but this is getting too much. This is amal clooney level already! His pr people should stop already. What’s the point? People are gonna dislike her like what happened with amal before. It’s over the top already. If he’s so happy and all then good for him, no need to let everyone know about it. Just be happy, hopefully quietly and keep it between the 2 of you.

      • GoOnGirl says:

        He’s so happy. Shouldn’t some of that happiness involve making peace with his children? What is the status of the supervised visitations? His “sources” can talk about his giddiness and happiness, but is he making progress with the therapy and visitations involving his children? Oh wait, I forgot. He doesn’t have children. This fact seems to slip everyone’s mind, so it must be true. They belong to her.

    • ocjulia says:

      Right? I keep waiting for him to pull a Tom Cruise couch-jumping thing.

      • Lady D says:

        I’d laugh for days. I’m also holding out hope for another good laugh, a People mag cover, “Brad, five years after Angelina!!!”

    • NoShame says:

      It’s not just overkill, it’s totally sexist overkill. Just like the last time. The last time it was all about how Jen Aniston wouldn’t turn her womb into a clown car for him so obviously she’s a terrible, empty person who wasn’t a real woman because real women turn their wombs into clown cars for Brad Pitt.

      I really hope the #metoo movement doesn’t allow him to do this, but I think the media will happily play along with him. We are already seeing that in the “Brad has never been this happy” and “Jen is so heartbroken that he’s in love with another woman, again” stories. I don’t think Aniston has seen this sorry ass in 13 or 14 years. But apparently, she still pines for a man who publicly threw her under a bus in front of the entire world and spent a decade passively-aggressivly trashing their life together. Yeah, I’m sure she’s just sitting around waiting for this douche to come back to her. LOL.

      In the end it’s always the same with him. The women in his life are the terrible ones and he’s just this awesome dude looking for a real woman who challenges him. This man and his PR team are so disgusting.

    • Carmen says:

      Absolutely. He’s selling this way too hard — to what purpose? If his purpose is to hurt Angie the way she hurt him, he’s wasting his time. Angie doesn’t give a damn what he does any more.

      • Fa says:

        The purpose of getting more publicity, aren’t we commenting this over the top gushing? Because his teams are making her more interesting and they know this kind of bullshit will get more click. The next thing we know boom we will see them together and public will get more interesting in them and more click. This game Clooney already played with Amal and it succeeded for them.

    • citney says:

      These old Hollywood men well over fifty must all use the same PR agent.

      • Fa says:

        Actually they have the same agent.

      • citney says:

        @Fa

        Kevin Huvane has the most devious PR agent as a brother.

        K. Huvane is Aniston’s PR guru, the man behind all the attacks on Angelina and the children for 12 years.

  3. minx says:

    His PR people really need to dial back on the purple prose.

  4. psl says:

    Wow, his PR team is working overtime on this – or maybe she has one now…..

    • Dr. Mrs. The Monarch says:

      I feel sorry for his children. Divorce is so hard on kids, but then to have Dad flaunt his amazing new love life on the cover of every tabloid and all over the internet is the worst. This is terrible PR.

      • citney says:

        You can bet the “farm” Angelina Jolie will definitely be awarded FULL custody of the kids. Brad Pitt is certainly not mentally capable of being around children.

      • LittlefishMom says:

        Wait she DOES have full custody? Did that happen in court?

      • citney says:

        @LittlefishMom

        The divorce is not final and won’t be for months. I see here that California does not give one parent full custody, but you can be sure Pitt will be awarded no more than limited visitation IF the children want to see him.

        At this point, even Knox is acting more mature than his so-called “father”, and don’t think the court will not take notice of Pitt’s actions.

  5. Rapunzel says:

    Unicorn alert!

    • Fa says:

      Extra unicorn than Amal, Clooney pr was better than Brad pr because this is over killing.

      • citney says:

        @Fa

        You have to give Clooney credit, he acted a fool, but at least he didn’t have 6 children he was hurting.

        Brad Pitt is acting as if he’s lost all control of his senses.

    • GreenTurtle says:

      Manic pixie dream architect.

  6. lower-case deb says:

    wonder if the timing of this is half roll out half damage control over Angie flying high above Namibia filmed with ALL six kids for THE Queen.

    this is Brad shouting; look at me! Me, Brad! the one that Hollywood loves! the one that women love! don’t forget me?

    i thought that whole “she won custody? well, HE won Hollywood” schtick was bad… in what world does Hollywood trump your own kids? (and soon after the whole #MeToo scandal broke and we saw that winning Hollywood was phyrrhic victory if it was at all).

    come on now, Brad. calm. down.

    • roses says:

      Now that you mention that, It is sort of funny his sources are referencing him as having feeling of flying a mountain when Jolie is actually doing that in the documentary. Lord this is too much…he needs just take a deep breath and chill.

    • JENNIFER says:

      Bingo.

    • Mary says:

      If this were the case wouldn’t have been better to leak this when Angelina was promoting her movie? and the Quee’s project came out after the revelation of the romance so don’t think it’s that.

      • lower-case deb says:

        the revelation only came slightly before the first teaser trailer, and it was coincidental enough for Lainey to hint on it. Brad’s camp can’t be all blind to the release date of what’s going to be shown, especially since it includes footage of their children. it’s early enough so as to create plausible deniability but extremely coincidental not to make it deliberate.

      • KBB says:

        You misunderstood what Lainey was saying, Deb. If anything she was saying the exact opposite. She was referring to the history of Brange and Aniston, that for over a decade whenever one of them was in the news, the other would conveniently be photographed or grab headlines in some other way. It was always tit for tat.

        She was saying that just as Brad is making news with his new girlfriend, Angelina grabbed headlines being in the Queen documentary. She said in this case Angelina obviously had no control over when the documentary was released, but that it was funny that it followed the same pattern that we often saw with the triangle.

      • lower-case deb says:

        @KBB, i must’ve misunderstood it as you said. i stand corrected.

      • Helen Smith says:

        I saw this behavior all through Brad and Angelina’s relationship in regard to Jennifer.

        Brad definitely has a playbook. I’m reminded of the old saying, “Familiarity breeds contempt.” I’m definitely losing respect for Brad as I become more familiar with his games.

  7. Andrea1 says:

    This PR is backfiring big time his team sure didn’t see this coming. Even on the dailymail where he gets positive responses Neri’s pappictures are receiving negative comments for she and Brad

  8. monette says:

    Vomit. Nausea. Disgust.
    This bullshit needs to stop, Pitty dear!
    You have children who can read and we have a brain so just, for the Love of God, stop it!

  9. Grandmasutra says:

    Why is it so hard to believe that she may like Brad. This site honestly makes it seem like this woman is the second coming and Brad is less than human.

    • Maya says:

      As an Angelina fan and former Brad fan, let me tell you what has made me and other dislike Brad.

      He is a very good actor, better producer and seemed to have it all. Even the incident on the plane didn’t make me dislike him.

      It’s his behaviour afterwards that has made me an ex fan of his. He was a raging alcoholic and by his own team, was in an altercation with his son. His alcohol abuse and subsequent behaviour let to the family breakup.

      He knew he was in the wrong and yet he did absolutely nothing when Angelina and his children especially Maddox were crusified by the media and public. Angelina was called vile names (as usual) but poor Maddox was attacked with racist slurs, that he would have misbehaved and deserved to be put in place by Brad. That Maddox should be grateful as he was adopted into a rich family etc.

      For months the media claimed Angelina was lying and trying to alienate the children from Brad. That she got her children to lie and that she brainwashed them. That poor Brad was blindsided and he didn’t deserve this.

      Brad even got his lawyer to attack her and worst of all, he tried to influence the children’s therapy by trying to get a new therapist in. All 7 therapists agreed that the Brad needed supervision when he was alone with the children.

      Even now almost 20 months later, he doesn’t have custody and the children still see therapists.

      He never took responsibility over his actions and he chose his image over his wife’s more importantly his children’s. That is why we lost respect for him.

      • annabanana says:

        Do you know all of these for a FACT? Or just assumptions?

      • Maya says:

        He himself admitted this so yeah, it’s a fact.

      • annabanana says:

        He did? Raging alcoholic? He admitted to everything you said? Really?

      • Anna says:

        Nope. He shares custody while Jolie is the primary custodial parent.

      • Maya says:

        Google it – his own people admitted he was in a rage and was drunk, that he was in an alteration with his son, he admitted to being an alcoholic.

        So yeah – he said it. You can ignore his own words if you want but the rest of dont have to.

      • annabanana says:

        Admitting that his drinking caused the demise of his marriage is not the same as admitting that you are a raging alcoholic. Can’t find anything about the recommendations of the psychologists, custody arrangements, or any of the other things your claiming as a fact. Sorry I tried but can’t find anything other than assumptions

      • Maya says:

        Sorry not my job to find the links but I am sure there are other people here who can.

        The therapists were mentioned in the leaked court documents and also his lawyers comments.

        If you go back to the CB threads from that time, you will all the confirmation you need.

        So now – I have said my say and not going to waste time on it anymore.

        Although – I will take back about the custody as Anna’s mentioned, California doesn’t give full custody to one parent. That was my bad and I apologise.

    • minx says:

      I can certainly believe she would like him, he’s wealthy and still a good looking man for his age.

      • citney says:

        @minx

        This Oxman woman is fame hungry, she hasn’t met a camera she didn’t want to be photographed with.

    • Cate says:

      I finally got around to googling her yesterday and based on my own life experience as an academic…I’m sure she “likes” him but she definitely seems thirsty for attention also. There are way more posed glamour photos out there than there are of your average highly successful early 40’s academic (male or female). Especially all the photos where she is apparently staged to look either thoughtful or pouty. I realize she’s in a more “glam” part of academia than many faculty/professors, but even considering that she seems over-the-top than most. This is definitely not a case of someone *just* falling for Pitt because of his natural charm, intelligence, and good looks.

      • Trashaddict says:

        Been in academia for well-nigh on 20 years. Believe you me, there is no shortage of narcissistic “look at me” professors. All it takes is one narcissistic chairperson to completely decimate a department. There will probably be more of these types in the future, as academics are expected to PR their way into earning their own salaries. While some with that skill set can put out a good body of work, it doesn’t make for a very broad spectrum of faculty.
        OK, rant over.

    • isabelle says:

      Her liking him has nothing to do with the blunt sexism the tabloids flaunt when a couple divorces.The male always gets painted as happy once he has divorced his shrew of a wife but the woman always gets painted as lonely, old with no hope of every finding love, empty wombed/nest and Sad! Ii is the blatant sexism which is bothersome and trying to turn Angie into the villain, when he was the one who lost custody and was the one with the alcohol problems. The kids even shunned him, yet he gets painted as the the now happy saint.

  10. Reef says:

    I’m confused by this roll out. This would be just as effective without all this extra-ness. You’re in your 50’s, Sir. With 6 kids. Relax.

    • roses says:

      Can’t be said enough!!! I don’t get it myself.

    • Evie says:

      Perfectly said. I’m enjoying the contrast though between how mature and intellectual they’re trying to make him out to be for dating an MIT professor and the language that sounds like it was pulled from an especially melodramatic schoolgirl’s diary. “Flying above the mountains” indeed.

    • Carmen says:

      I wonder when was the last time he spared a thought for his children?

  11. Lizzie says:

    good grief.

  12. Jen d. says:

    These PR moves are … embarrassing. I don’t always buy Lainey saying that AJ is a PR master, but he’s really mismanaging things since their separation. And I hope to God he is with Dr Oxman, because if not this is super creepy and invasive.

    • Fa says:

      It worked for Clooney, why not him?

      • Jen d. says:

        I actually think it is a good move to date her (whether or not there are genuine feelings there). She seems great, she’s not a teenager, and she’s not a celebrity. He just could have managed it more. Why try to be so manipulative (if he really did plant the story about his ex dating, and if he is behind these ridiculous leaks)? He’s not good at it. Why not consult with a better management and plan ahead of time? Or just keep it under wraps?

      • Booie says:

        Difference was Clooney didn’t come out of a messy divorce and altercation with kids resulting in family therapy.

      • .. says:

        Clooney and Pitt are in no way similar. Comparing the two seems to be a new pr tactic of brads. Brad is tainted. Brad has baggage. Brad has been investigated by the FBI. And On and on……….

  13. Fa says:

    I just vomit

    • Lorelei says:

      @FA this is possibly my favorite comment ever and is applicable to so many different stories! 🙂

  14. EscapedConvent says:

    All that’s left now is for the Daily Mail to apply their absurd, fawning descriptions to the professor: “toned pins, pert derriere, curvaceous teeth which highlight her lush….highlights.”

    I really cannot wait.

  15. Fa says:

    Angie is winning close door negotiations and teams Brad are not happy and using this innocent woman to hurt his soon to be wife with overselling his girlfriend.

    • Adorable says:

      I honestly doubt Angie is hurt by all of these PR Games by Brad,if anything I’d think she just wants to move forward with her life as she’s currently doing.

  16. Who ARE these people? says:

    My husband fell for me after seeing my line of 3-D printed lawn chairs.

    • mia girl says:

      It is SUCH a common love story. Why do they keep pointing this out? Nothing pretentious or particularly unique about it. Your husband fell for you that way, as did my husband for me. I mean, mine were 3-D printed reclining chairs created for LaZBoy, but close enough.

      • Ladykeller says:

        If any woman made a 3d printed gaming chair they would probably have my husband in a heartbeat.

    • crazydaisy says:

      LMAO

  17. jammypants says:

    He comes off deeply insecure.

  18. kNY says:

    He morphs into the person he’s with – I don’t think there’s really a true Brad Pitt. He’s been laying low because he is not attached, and now that he is, he can be a person again. He’s “glowing” because she’s “extroverted and vivacious.” There was a character on the show “Happy Endings” named Penny, and I remember a joke about how she did this (turned goth when she dated a goth, turned hipster when she dated a hipster, etc.). He’s Penny.

  19. kate says:

    Brad’s pr team is putting the “Amal Clooney is a unicorn” media strategy to shame. If it didn’t come on the heels of an 18-month period without a single picture of Brad with his kids, a brutal sepration and a CPS investigation, it would actually be very funny.

  20. Elaine Benice says:

    Fuq off.

  21. Cee says:

    Good God, this man is in his 50s, his eldest two sons will not talk to him, and he describes his relationship like a cheesey 20 year old would.

    He glows? He’s intoxicated by her? Is he implying this woman is so addictive he can’t help himself?

    • Abby says:

      Honestly, if i were penning a pro-Brad piece i would avoid putting Brad and the word “intoxicated ” in the same sentence. Just don’t go there.

      But as i said before, if true, i see them together maybe a year or two. Long enough for the lust to wither. But i don’t see them lasting.

    • flan says:

      I would have been ashamed to write like this about a crush when i was 13.

  22. Ophelia says:

    From all the high profile divorce/separations I’ve seen–Paltrow-Martin, Bennifer, or if we’re talking wife-blindsiding-husband: Holmes-Cruise–all have taken the kids-first narrative. I find it interesting that Brad Pitt chooses the childless-divorcee/bachelor-again route. Clooney’s playbook is more suited for the latter route, imho.

    I have no concrete assessment since I don’t know what goes on in therapy or his relationship with his children, but it is just so interesting to me that his PR strategy is more Clooney and less Cruise.

  23. BJ says:

    Gossip Cop and Entertainment Tonight claim they are not dating.So we will see if this is all Alternative Facts.

    • Ophelia says:

      Lainey made an interesting point. The exact word used by the rep is “an exaggeration” not “a falsehood” or similar wording. It implies it is true -to an extent-.

      Brad is still hoping. I think he is courting.

      In addition, nothing from Dr. Oxman’s camp. I can’t remember who it was now, but last year, some actress was falsely linked with Brad and quickly and ruthlessly shut it down.

      If this is false, then I reckon both parties tango for their own individual benefits. I don’t side eye, and I don’t blame Dr. Oxman for using every arsenal in the world to put herself out there. Academia is an extremely ruthless environment, puts Capitol Hill to shame most days.

      In fact, if she doesn’t capitalize, I’d be saying “gurl, you let a golden goose walk past just like that? You okay?”

      However, if they are dating, then all of these love pronouncements from Brad’s camp is so… well reminds me of my pre-teen boy discovering for the first time that girls don’t give him cooties.

      • Fa says:

        Good point I think he is still courting her and explain over the top gushing.

      • BJ says:

        This woman is a professor not an actress.Of course an actress who has to do press for movies, who has a publicist is going to respond to this differently than a MIT professor.Personally I would probably ignore it or laugh about it.

      • All lies says:

        But she is a professor and her audience are the serious intelligent people so how are they taking her seriously if she is silent on these stories? I am sure they can’t wait after class/meeting to ask her if she can get them some autographs. And being hounded every time she steps out of the apartment? Constant phone calls from everyone out of woodwork ? If she’s normal like us and have no bodyguards then it’s annoying AF to be set up like that. I think they are together and her being quiet is a sign of confirmation.

  24. Christy J says:

    That last line-lighting prayer candles-truly hilarious! Well done!

  25. Anna says:

    I’ll give you=she could do much better. She still may do much better. They’ve been together 6 mos. If she is all in with this guy, with two divorces and countless break-ups, six kids and not even divorced=chances are it won’t last. Does he still smoke=YUK! What I disagree with entirely is this narrative constantly floated that he “takes on the persona of who he is with”. Facts are that what broke up he and Aniston was that they were so different. They were renovating that monstrosity in Bev Hills and she disagreed with his severe, austere taste and vision and he won the war over and designed everything, in and out of that mansion. She hated it. 2. He fought non-stop over life decisions with Angelina=their non-stop fighting over many years culminated in a broken mess and alleged violence. If anything, this guy is a self-centered self-proclaimed “artist” who doesn’t understand compromise in relationships and was unable to see the woman’s side of things. Did he really bend at all if instead of learning the fine art of compromise=he stepped outside of the marriage? He didn’t take on their personas, he bucked against them. He sees himself as entitled to make a call to anyone he thinks he wants, assuming he will charm the pants off of them. No door mat, he is a spoiled celebrity. He may see himself as the nice guy next door, and clearly his community believes the same, but I know this artist type. He believes he deserves whatever he wants he gets. 3. Angelina DOES NOT have full custody. This does not exist in California except in very rare cases.

  26. Eleonor says:

    Massive eyeroll here.

  27. Anastasia says:

    Are all these stories coming from US Weekly? Or is it one story, just rolled out a few details at a time? I’m so confused by these constant updates. And so over him.

  28. Adorable says:

    Neri is a stunning woman,but after seeing those DailyMail pics this morning,She’s “ordinary beautiful”unless she’s not all “made up”..juvenile comment,but hey we’re bound to compare the woman after Angelina jolie & all I’m saying is she(Neri)is no upgrade & thetes no relationship here,just PR games to distract us from custody issues🤷🏼‍♀️

        Seriously. But that would make for an amazing but terribly impractical party favor (as in how do I transport my 3D chaise lounge back home)

  30. Saks says:

    Exactly! That’s what been asking myself, why does these brilliant, beautiful, highly accomplished women settle for rather basic men…. is it bc the money? Or maybe bc men in their fields consider them less? Are they fame hungry?

    I always remember when George Clooney recived an award at the Golden Globes, and Tina Fey made fun of it by listing some of Amal’s accomplishments

    Also its really infuriating how the press is treating this as if she needs to be on his level, if they are really together, she is dating beneath her and can do way better.

    • Ophelia says:

      >>she is dating beneath her and can do way better.

      I fully believe that this will come soon.
      Brad’s courting MO has always been this.
      First the leaks and sources pronouncing how great the gal is, no heaven is to high, no achievement so stellar.
      Then, comes the self-deprecating awshucks words from his own mouth, how he can’t believe this remarkable woman fell for him, how she changed him for the better, how he learned so much from her, how he doesn’t deserve her.
      Then comes the old charm-school presentation: the public PDA-s, the opening and holding of doors, over the top subservience, looking at her adoringly.
      Then once everything doesn’t go his way: the putdowns and passive aggressiveness.
      Rinse repeat.

      • citney says:

        @Ophelia

        I wonder what happened to the love story to end all love stories with Ms. Oxman’s former husband. Their marriage lasted a mere 2 years.

    • minx says:

      I would hardly call Brad Pitt basic. He’s still a good looking, wealthy movie star. Now, his substance problems and his divorce/custody issues are a factor, I’m sure this woman can make up her mind if she would want to get seriously involved.

    • perplexed says:

      She’s a very well-groomed, attractive academic. To be honest, I don’t know if there are any male equivalents to her in the academic world. Brad Pitt has wealth and he’s at the top of his field. Setting aside the 6 kids and ex-wives issue, if an attractive woman who looks like her had a choice between a balding, nerdy academic whose car doesn’t run properly and a wealthy guy like Brad Pitt at the top of his field (i.e he’s not a loser in terms of his career), I think she’d pick the latter. Just because she’s brilliant doesn’t mean she’s immune to physical attraction.

      Also, she’s a specialist researcher. What that suggests is that she knows her field really well, but doesn’t necessarily mean she knows about every topic on the planet. A biomedical Phd might have as little in common to talk to her about as Brad Pitt. Conversation-wise, maybe they talk about politics (which everybody has some passing knowledge of) instead of the form and function of chaise-lounges.. or whatever it is she 3D prints.

  31. Other Renee says:

    It’s ironic that Neri is on record from a lecture criticizing “stereotypes” like Brad Pitt. She actually used him as a negative example. Here’s the quote from Newsweek:

    “The professor responded to a question about why she thought architecture was a male-dominated field. “For the same reason we have the Brad Pitts and the George Clooneys, it’s just part of human nature to idolize stereotypes. Such singularities are useful to the common perception of heroism,” Oxman said.”

    I think her picker is off.

  32. All lies says:

    I took a peek at her twitter and my impression? She seems very pretentious and she’s one of those “smart people ” that makes her own nonsensical quotes using fancy words and analogies to satisfy her superiority complex. It is chock full of BS. We all know by now he’s really into pretensions posing as a nice guy next door but he’s not. So no wonder he gravitated towards her the minute he saw her. Shall we say great minds think alike. They are using each other in different ways and banging is an added benefit. She probably looked up to him as a teenager and he’s in love with idea of spooning some genius, lol. Never know what new scientist words he may pick up.

  33. Grace says:

    My god, she looks like Angelina… no, they’re not identical twins, but it’s just something about them… which makes me think that Brad is still in love with Angelina and seeking solace in something familiar… he probably doesn’t even know he’s doing it…

    • Pix says:

      THANK YOU! Yes, this woman looks so much like Angelina that it’s comical. The new girl is less attractive and younger, but they bare a strong resemblence. I’m sure he has no clue or isn’t able to admit it, but Angelina knows and she’s laughing her head off at him being a pathetic cliche.

    • Omg says:

      Well Jennifer did the same thing. Remember the model who looked lik Brad?

    • april says:

      Exactly, I said this the first time I saw her. If you put a long, straight hair wig on her, she looks like Angie.

  34. truth hurts says:

    I wonder what will be next.. drum roll here it comes. Thing is they are over killing because of the response they got the first leak but like anything today it fades quickly and on to the next topic.
    Two reasons she ain’t Jolie and it is not scandalous so he and his team can hang up Jolie 2.0.
    They need to stop it really cause it is getting laughable at the moment.

    Ok Brad you have a girlfriend who are really trying to upset? It seems Angie is not even concerned at the moment and to be honest I believe that is the reason you are acting like a child.

  35. Suzy says:

    I’m happy for him but his team needs to stop promoting their relationship.

  36. WingKingdom says:

    Whether or not this attention is benefiting her, it has got to be so awkward facing her colleagues and students with crap like this coming out. It’s so ridiculously over the top.

  37. mtam says:

    I’m wondering if he discussed this gf roll-out with Angie and their kids first. ‘Cause if not, this is a highly insensitive thing to do to his kids. They’re in therapy because of him, and now they gotta hear about how happy he is with a woman I assume they havent met and that’s not their mother.

    In any relationship introducing a new partner in your kid’s life is a HUGE deal. Im hoping he’s being considerate of that.

    • Maya says:

      I think they know but I also think Angelina doesn’t give a s*it while the children will be hurt by their father moving on.

      But I also think Brad doesn’t care about his children’s feeling regarding as he is really using his pr team to put down Angelina and present Neri as a Goddess.

      But bad bad mistake on his part as the world in not stuck in 2004 and has moved one. Now if you are a man and you seem to neglect your children, you will be called out. Not saying Brad is neglecting his children but it sure seems like it.

      • mtam says:

        Not saying he’s neglecting them either, but it sure is privileged to be able to live “light and carefree” when you’re a father of six going through a divorce and a custody battle. I’m just hoping there’s more we’re not seeing. I hope all his free time is not taken up dating this woman and giving her all his attention, and instead he’s focusing at being active in helping his kids through the trauma he, the divorce, and the ongoing custody issues have caused them. Like, if i was in any way responsible for privately and publicly causing pain to my children, i would not be going around boasting about my carefree love life in public. That’s why I hope this whole thing was discussed with his family before he decided to partake in this PR strategy.

      • Booie says:

        MTAM, not sure how that discussion would go down. He asked his kids for permission to let his PR team roll out articles about how his new girlfriend is an “upgrade” from their mom? What sort of discussion would that lead to?

      • mtam says:

        @Booie
        Lol i have no idea. I can’t imagine it would be an easy thing to do. But a family meeting could work, and there are already therapists that have to be present when Brad sees his kids no? They could help as well. It is terrible these articles are low key putting Angie down while praising Neri, but i don’t know. I imagine kids of famous people are hopefully thought not to believe exactly what they read about their parents.

    • Booie says:

      Because he’s been so considerate of his family’s wellbeing before this? Like sitting quietly while people make nasty comments about his son. Because apparently a man in his 50s needed comforting and support after that over his teenage son.

      • mtam says:

        Yeah, I found that really distasteful as well. He should have been way more active in protecting his kids and their mother from public scrutiny. Hell, even someone like Prince Harry did it for Meghan when they first stated dating. You would think a father would at least do that for his children.

      • citney says:

        @Booie

        Brad Pitt seems to have feelings ONLY for Brad Pitt.

    • Cate says:

      If I were Angelina I’d probably be thinking fine, take all the rope you need to hang yourself. If Brad really has as many problems as the rumors seem to suggest and is only allowed supervised visitation, I think Angie might be secretly relieved about him doing things that will distance himself from the kids and apparently not caring too much about maintaining close ties with them. It seems like she’s going out of her way not to trash Brad or do anything that would look like her trying to turn the kids against him, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t privately think that they might all be better off without him in the picture. It’s hurting them now, but in the long run maybe it’s better not to have much of a relationship with your obnoxious, alcoholic dad, you know?

      • mtam says:

        If he really is as selfish as this whole PR hoopla is unknowingly making him out to seem, then yeah, I would totally agree. They’re probably better off not having a toxic parent in their lives.

        That being said, though I don’t think Brad is a great man, and definitely not a great father, I still don’t think he’s a horrible person, so I hope he really is putting in the effort to rehabilitate himself in private. Maybe he and his team will clue in that this isn’t the best public narrative for him at the moment.

  38. Inas says:

    Please Neri will you take him for a long long honeymoon please.

    In some photos Oxman do look like Amanda Peet .

    • citney says:

      @Inas
      She looks like a combination of many people, mostly depending on how much photoshopping the pictures have had.

      One person she does NOT resmeble is Angelina. She has dark hair, that pretty much ends the resemblance.

      Bets are on that in the extremely near future she will be wearing all black and made up to look as close to Angie as possible. LOL

  39. Originaltessa says:

    She has a very early 90’s sitcom girlfriend look to her. Like Joey’s girlfriend he did the play with.

  40. Leah says:

    This is if Stephen Hawking had set his sights on Paris Hilton’s alter ego in The Simple Life. No joke. This is inconceivable. Neri Oxman? I cannot imagine they are doing much talking.

    • Noelle says:

      I know the Daily Mail called her a genius but in no shape or form is she on the same level as Stephen Hawking.

      The over promotion of her talents is beyond laughable. Get a grip people.

  41. Lori says:

    She has the sort of nerdy chic style I’ve tried to do for 10 years but she looks so much better in it. Its annoying.

  42. Zazz says:

    I don’t know who is doing that PR, his people or not, but the ones who are doing this are doing a disservice to both that Lady and Pitt. It’s aweful ! It’s pitiful, it’s immature and it’s superficial.

    This is grade A juvenile rhetoric you would see more akeen to the Kardashian younger sisters or even Maddox puppy love and first feelings than the ones describing a two times 55 years old divorcee and his 42 years old new girlfriend.

    I mean In 5 years time Pitt is going to turn 60 ! 60 years old for God sake while 3 of his own children will all have turned 18 years old !

    This is not even a George Clooney eternal adolescent ultimately finding a woman he have children with for the very first time.

    This is a full fledged divorcee, father of six, with at least a decade of life living with the mother of his children.

    Again, this whole rhetoric oozes juvenility and not a way to describe that kind of post divorce, post children relationship this far in age.

    I would also hope that the press and tabloid will finally get that Pitt is basicly three times Bieber’s age and that this kinda of rhetoric and PR is better suited for Bieber’s age.

    • Fa says:

      Clooney was not married before he got with Amal but Brad is two times married and this gushing about this woman is insulting to his exes wives.

      • Other Renee says:

        FA, George was briefly married to Talia Shire.

      • Felicia says:

        Small correction: Clooney had been married and divorced, but remained a bachelor for 2+ decades prior to Amal.

      • citney says:

        George was married for 5 years to Talia, longer than Brad was married to Aniston.

        Not that it matters, but many think he was married mere months than years when five years is at least 10 in Hollywood years. lol

  43. Felicia says:

    Gossip Cop just called out this article as being BS

  44. Beapancake says:

    I’m sorry- I am a huge Angelina fan but I have to admit I am super impressed / enchanted with Neri! I thought this whole time Angelina made Brad way more interesting (and she did!) but obvs Brad must be very interesting on his own to go out with someone like Neri. Hell, I’m in love with her now after stalking her work and talks online.
    P.s. Gossip Cop is always wrong…I don’t even know how that site exists anymore.

  45. Omg says:

    Us weekly was just saying Brad and Jennifer were back together a week before this story so not buying it. I do think he’s loving this attention. He’ll do anything to hurt Angie and by extension his kids. Those kids are better off without him. Let him pretend to have visitation I doubt he does since they’re in England with their beloved mother.

    • Felicia says:

      You do realize that if they are in London, Pitt actually had to agree to allow her to take the kids out of the country? Otherwise she would be guilty of parental abduction, yes?

      This Neri Oxman thing smells to me like a huge diversion tactic of some sort. It is far too OTT and it feels to me like someone is jumping up and down while waving their arms saying “look over here, everyone look this way!” so that no one looks anywhere else. And no, I don’t think it’s a “distracting from the real girlfriend” thing. The timing is weird, he’s been keeping a very low profile (probably on the advice of his lawyers until the divorce is finalized) and all of a sudden there is this massive media push. I’d like to know what it is that we’re NOT supposed to be looking at or wondering about.

      • Lady D says:

        If he had said no, he would be saddled with 6 children while she was out of the country working. Of course he said yes.

      • Fa says:

        Angie is laughing somewhere.

      • Felicia says:

        @ LadyD: that makes no sense to me. The main point of contention in their divorce appears to be the custody issue, so I suppose he has no problem with “being saddled” with his kids. I’m sure he’s as capable as any other multi-millionaire of hiring staff to cook, clean, tutor and shepherd the kids to activities. It’s not as if he or AJ are or ever were slaving away every day doing household chores for the 6 kids.

        While they were together, they seem to have made a point of not both filming at the same time, likely in part because days on the set are very long and dealing with continual 14 or 15 hour days doesn’t leave a whole lot of time for anything other than sleep. The reality of those kind of working hours hasn’t changed just because they are getting a divorce. I don’t know if Mal 2 has actually started shooting on time or not, but if it has and the kids are with her in the UK, most of their time there is going to be spent in the company of nannies and bodyguards.

  46. Candies says:

    So he is not allowed to have fun or be in relationship with someone like that since he has kids, married before? Lol why ang will be hurt by this or by extention the kids? She has no problem to be the intellegent one after ja right?. Im trying to be reasonable here. If ang cant have him he shouldnt be this is what the ang only fans needs right ? Lol
    The gc denial is rather funny he is not camping out at at neri house they have proffestional relationship etc
    Dare post it

    • citney says:

      Brad Pitt is not divorced and won’t be for months, and most importantly, he has 6 children who can read all about what childish mischief their father is involved in.
      If it were just he and Angie, there’d be no obstacle if he wanted to make a fool of himself every day of the year. It’s not as if Angie seems to care what he does.

  47. .. says:

    He still does that same stupid look with his face. For thirty five years now. Surprised he’s not doing the dab of gloss on the lower lip thing again……guess he’ll roll that out for his summer look.

  48. .. says:

    No you are not.

  49. Pajala says:

    For all her academic success – and it’s well-earned and very impressive – she is no genius if she wants to date Brad Pitt. But then again her tweets seem super-flaky so they may be equally pretentious. He does seem sweet and hopefully she is, too, at least. Certainly Angelina 2.0.

    • Pajala says:

      I actually find the whole scenario hilarious. She’s dating a blond airhead with a (formerly?) hot body. I read that in her divorce, her ex got the house and she had to pay him $675K. If I were her I would have stuck with the Jewish billionaire she was purportedly dating, but perhaps Brad is a better bet for the long term – certainly he couldn’t do any better. And for those talking about his boozing and drug use, Angelina has never been a poster-child for clean living. I think those 2 deserved each other. As for Neri, I’m sure the money that will help fund her projects will not hurt.

      • Kelly says:

        Why is this man always referred to as the “Jewish Billionaire”? What does his religion have to do with anything?

      • Felicia says:

        @Kelly: coinciding religious values are something that some people find important in a partner. She was born and raised in Israel, is Jewish. Her ex-husband is Jewish. The billionaire boyfriend (maybe ex) is Jewish. I suppose that this might be something that people have taken note of in that context, as Pitt has made it clear that religion is not something he feels the need to have in his life.

      • KBB says:

        @Kelly I’m guessing she said Jewish billionaire because Neri is Israeli so they have that in common.

      • Fa says:

        KELLY

        Majority Jewish people married each other, it is important they married into the religion.
        I think Brad is courting her with this overselling gushing from his teams.

      • Fa says:

        By having the same religion is important for Jewish people than any other religion. She has that in common with her ex husband and this millionaire. Brad and her have so much in common intellectually is laughable.

      • citney says:

        @Pajala

        Angie’s wild days were before she adopted Maddox, who is about to be 17 years old in August.

        Low blow about Angie’s past.

  50. Elisa says:

    The whole situation is just too weird, i have three theories:

    1) Brad PR team went mad
    2) Angelina’s team is leaking all these weird shit to make people dislike him
    3) And the least likely ,they are warming the ground for some big reveal like a pregnancy, the behavior is very similar to the Angelina/Brad reveal.

    • Booie says:

      I don’t think her team would put the stories out there with the comparisons of the two looking alike and being an ‘upgrade’ if she were trying to make brad look bad. There would be other ways to do it.

      I also don’t think she’d do it on the day the documentary she was featured in premiered.

    • KBB says:

      The rollout is so, so similar to what Brad and Angelina did. They also denied they were together initially, they were just friends. Then Brad did the whole lovebombing thing, Angelina is the most incredible woman to ever walk the face of the earth, she’s so intelligent and interesting, etc. You have to wonder how Angelina feels seeing this thing repeat itself in exactly the same way with a different woman.

      • fiona says:

        Or Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn who initially denied they were together, despite not long after seen in a compromised position on a public balcony. Jennifer and Vince also said how incredible each other are. ALL couples do when they get together, so don’t act like Brad is the first person on earth to do that.

      • All lies says:

        Am sure she feels validated in dumping him, lol. He’s like a chameleon who doesn’t change its original form no matter how much time has gone by.

  51. artistsnow says:

    WATCH her Ted talk. Neri is a thrill. Gorgeous very impassioned SMART woman who has her OWN agenda and path in life. Not many people laughed at her jokes BUT they all stood at the end. This lady is very impressive. Do not judge her by one photo.

    Who cares if she likes Pitt? Her ideas are much more interesting.lol
    Neri is connecting the mind and spirit and body in her work. That is awesome. On every level.

    • Omg says:

      Ohnotheydidnt is not filled with Angie fans but they think he’s a joke. Lipstick alley is absolutely anti Angelina and they also think he’s an OLD joke. Everyone knows he’s using the tabloids for whatever reason… No one knows why? Ben affleck just walked out with his new girl one day— no need for a Pr roll out, lmao.

  53. Emily says:

    How long until the tabloids start doing covers about the number of days it’s been since Brad has seen his children? They shamed Cruise, why not him? Oh, is it because mean Angie is responsible and Brad can’t be at fault because his girlfriend is vivacious and other adjective she his publist found in an online thesaurus?

  54. Candies says:

    Bitter much @ pajala. Lol

  55. Kelly says:

    Neri is gorgeous

  56. Rabbit says:

    I’m confused – isn’t Neri still married? Can someone clarify?

  57. All lies says:

    This is typical CAA’s PR strategy. Plant and deny stories. They did it for JA when BP dumped her for AJ. Now they did the same for him when he get dumped. Linked him to all available women and hoped one would stick, Kate, Sienna, the princess etc.. and now the professor. She looks like she is willing to take the bait.

    What’s still not clear why is the mad rush to push this out within a couple of weeks. I am pretty sure they discussed about not being seen with anyone in public until the divorce is finalized especially him. He didn’t want her to date anyone first otherwise he would be humiliated again. So that leaves why would he rush with the rollout of his new gf? IS SHE PREGNANT?!. That would be the epic FAIL.

    Going back to these recent leaks, what would he say when he was asked about her? Seeing as the oldest ones might read it online. Image him saying ‘Son/Daughter, don’t believe anything you read. We are just friends at this time. Don’t worry I am here for you’. Then, few weeks later, when they are officially a couple, ‘Son/Daughter, your mom and I are finished, you do want me to find someone to be happy with, right? Neri is a genius and you will like her just as much as she is going to like you. Being around her is unbelievable. You are gonna feel like flying over the mountains. Remember that feeling when your mom took you to do flying on the airplane ? Same feeling, (____). Anyway, we are going to be married soon so wish me luck. I haven’t felt this happy since I met your mother ! ‘

  58. PinkyPenny says:
