Angelina Jolie’s Oscar Snub Sparks Outrage as She Blames Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston for Hollywood Backlash
Angelina Jolie is reportedly reeling from her Maria Oscar snub, convinced that powerful industry forces including her ex-husband Brad Pitt and his former wife Jennifer Aniston worked against her.
According to RadarOnline, the Maleficent star is deeply frustrated over being overlooked by the Academy and believes Pitt and Aniston have played a role in damaging her reputation within Hollywood’s elite circles.
An insider claims Jolie had high hopes for Maria, expecting at least some recognition for her work, but the total lack of nominations has left her furious. “She’s sure that being totally passed over is Brad’s work,” the source revealed, alleging that Pitt has spent years shaping a narrative that villainizes her.
Jolie reportedly believes that Pitt, aided by Aniston’s strong industry connections, has worked behind the scenes to ensure she remains on Hollywood’s blacklist.
Despite two decades having passed since the infamous Pitt-Jolie-Aniston love triangle, the source insists that Jolie “still hasn’t forgiven” Aniston and suspects she has leveraged her influence to turn Hollywood against her.
“Angie has told friends that Brad spread stories about how she ruined his marriage to Jen and then treated him poorly,” the insider added, suggesting that this long-standing narrative has contributed to her being sidelined.
Pitt, on the other hand, has vehemently denied ever speaking negatively about Jolie, nor has he enlisted Aniston to do so, according to sources close to him.
However, Jolie remains convinced that both have played a part in the industry’s cold treatment of her, particularly following their bitter divorce and custody battle.
Jolie’s growing disillusionment with Hollywood is no secret. She has repeatedly expressed her desire to distance herself from the industry in recent years, and insiders claim that the Oscar snub may be the final push she needs to walk away entirely.

“This is the last straw for her. She wants out,” the source revealed, adding that Jolie has long felt that she is fighting a losing battle in a town that still favors Pitt and Aniston.
The actress has been focusing more on international humanitarian efforts, her fashion label, and directing, seemingly distancing herself from mainstream Hollywood projects.
If she does step away from the industry, it would mark a dramatic shift for the Oscar-winning star, whose career has spanned decades and included some of the most iconic roles in film history.
While Jolie’s frustration over the Maria snub is understandable, some industry insiders believe it has less to do with any alleged conspiracy and more to do with the film’s reception.
Though Maria generated buzz, it failed to gain significant momentum in awards season, making it a long shot for an Oscar nomination.
Still, Jolie’s belief that powerful Hollywood figures have worked against her highlights the deep scars left by her tumultuous personal life and public feuds.
Whether or not she truly exits Hollywood remains to be seen, but if her accusations are true, it could signal a deeper divide within the industry that extends beyond just an Oscar snub.
