I don't think anybody was absolving Angelina of anything either (I wasn't). The whole thing sucks, but I feel like Brad is the worse person in the entire thing, because he's the one who ultimately made the decision to end his marriage with Jennifer. It's not like he was sitting on the sidelines, while Angelina orchestrated the whole thing.
Either way, I don't know what the hell happened between Brad & Jennifer, or Brad & Angelina, all I see is the result. The three of them are moving on, and that's that.
