Brad Pitt's Mom Writes an Anti-Gay Letter: Which Celebrity Has the Most Embarrassing Parent?

Brad Pitt and his fiancé, Angelina Jolie, are two of Hollywood’s most staunch social activists. She’s a U.N. Ambassador who’s constantly jetting off to some war-torn country to shed light on the terrible conditions. He’s an architecture aficionado, who helped ensure that green housing was built in New Orleans to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. And up until recently when they gave into their brood of kids who allegedly begged them to tie the knot, they had vowed not to marry until everyone could, including gay couples.

But, apparently, the Pitt apple has fallen quite far from the family tree. One can only imagine his embarrassment when news broke that his mom had written a letter to the editor at the Springfield News-Leader in Missouri. It seems that Brad Pitt's mom, Jane Pitt, has very different views on gender equality than her liberal son. Here’s what she had to say, “Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney’s opponent, Barack Hussein Obama -- a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage."

This might make for awkward holiday dinner conversation and probably left Brad Pitt a little red in the face. But it might not be the most humiliating thing a celebrity’s parent has ever done. Michael Lohan’s been in and out of more scrapes than even his notoriously troubled daughter Lindsay Lohan. Plus, he’s old enough to know better. Rihanna’s mom, Monica Braithwaite, embarrassed her by joking about the pop star’s rumored fling with Ashton Kutcher. And in her tell-all memoir, Kris Jenner aired her dirty laundry about the affair she had that ended her marriage with Robert Kardashian. Not only were her reality star kids left blushing over the details, but Khloe became the target of tabloid speculation that O.J.’s lawyer wasn’t really her birth father.

So Brad and his mom might stand on different sides of the issue. And he’ll probably have a lot of explaining to do to some of his high-profile gay and lesbian friends. But lots of families have conflicts over sensitive topics and manage to work through it privately. What do you think: Which celebrity has the most embarrassing parent?

    Everyone of these so called Celebrities can bite my butt. Angelina Jolie is a whore, Brad Pitt needs his ass whipped. And they can all go to group therapy and then shoot themselves.

    Wake up America celebrities are like corrupt corporations, while you work and slave they are out there influencing politicians to pass laws they want and at the expense of Freedom and Liberty, hell we should Napalm Hollywood.

    It's just sick of how hateful people are toward LGBT People... >.> There's nothing wrong with being Gay. It's natural and it's NOT a choice. Being Gay is NOT harmful either. Same Sex Marriage is consent (Romantic and/or Sexual) between 2 people! What the hell is wrong with that!? It IS hateful to deny people their CIVIL RIGHTS! I'm sure if she wrote a letter hating on Blacks or Christians, ALOT of people would bash her... >.> That's Hypocrisy at its best!

    You called it hypocrisy even before anything was said about Christianity but I'm going to go there. The bible is very clear as far as homosexuality being an abomination in God's eyes. We didn't say it, God did. If you choose not to believe in God that is your priviledge but don't try and tell a person that believes in God and his word there is something wrong with them for believing what God said. It makes you hypocritical because you say we have to accept homosexuals when in fact you don't accept Christians. When did being gay become natural? It wasn't natural until the last 20 years, thanks to Hollywood.

    Well let me "go there" too.  Carrie, you must be a liberal then because if we, as you so eloquently note, are to truly follow God's word the bible, then we must surely believe all of it, and not pick and choose, right?  Therefore when the bible talks about greed and not turning our backs on those who have less money and access, then you're for taking care of them, no? Just want to make sure you really follow every word of the bible, as you profess. But back to homosexuals: yes, they are sinful and should not be accepted. Kudos, my Christian sister.

    I believe in helping the poor and I do give to many charities. I don't believe in the government taking my money and using it prententiously. I don't want to see people being used by saying they are helping the needy or poor when in fact they are helping them stay needy. The bible says "if you don't work, you don't eat.
    No, I'm not a liberal, far from it.

    There are so much opinionated definitions here that it’s no wonder that every word in the Dictionary is NOT Hi-jacked for political reasons!! Any word relative to Hateful and Hate, you might as well just throw out and call it all “Political”. For instance, you might want to say; “I love cauliflower, but I do have to admit that I politicize Broccoli.” As long as you are re-defining stuff here, you need to point-out which Blacks & Christians are what part of the LGBT . . . As if a Homosexual as Civil Rights is compared to Blacks & Christians, would Bi-Sexual be compared more to Mexicans & Muslims? You really, really, really have to be extremely, extremely, extremely careful, when you re-write the Dictionary. There are just way, way, way too many meanings of words relative to other meanings. Many of those words and definitions are actually based on Cultures and Religious Beliefs that date back several Centuries. Are you going to re-write ALL OF THAT, just over what has proven to amount to nothing but a political idea relative to “group-assisted-masturbation practices!? [You see? I can do that too.]

    The LGBT group isn't trying to get married in church. They just want to be able to say they are married. If the church isn't going to be involved in their marriage then it shouldn't have a say in it. When you are born gay or lesbian there's nothing you can do to change. We live in a world where we tell everyone to be themselves an that's what they are doing. Don't forget the whites of this country from a few decades ago hated the blacks almost the same way as if it was their fault they were black. They were born black and were brought to a country they didn't want to be in in the first place. And the commenter is right if she had said anything against blacks or ANY religious group there would have been uproar. Hypocrisy.

    There's that whites and BLACKS again. You left out the Mexicans and Muslims. Perhaps the LGBT could fix it where Babies could also be "Born Married"?? . . . Why not? You have a group of Polticians out there; use them.

    Who says you are born gay or lesbian? Hollywood? That has not been proven but has been disproven for females. When you hear something enough you start to believe it.

    I guess you cannot pick who your mom is. I do not imagine she and Angelina are the best of friends either. I cannot believe what a bigot Pitts mother is. I do not see her getting an invite to George Clooney's home either. I would think that Pitt is truly embarassed by his mother's letter. I was really shocked, knowing the causes that Brangelina's work for and are involved with, let alone the multi-racial family they are raising. No Thanksgiving or Christmas with momma Pitt ever again! I hope. Brad should step away from his dispicable mum.

    Everything about this family is messed up. She is a cute girl but that is where it should have ended. No one in this family has any talent for anything except being in the public eye. They can't sing or dance or tell jokes. They have nothing but for some reason have the publics attention. I don't get it. I don't get it at all.

    I could not agree with you more. The only talent this family has is for making money to support their ostentatious life style. I do not see their show as a necessary contribution to the enlightenment of society. I do however get the impression of a very materialistic and shallow mother, who has raised her daughters to aspire to the same lifestyle. I do not watch the show, nor do I have any desire to. I try to limit my exposure to these airheads. I did love it when Anna Wintaur of Vogue forbid Kim Kardashian from attending one of her biggest functions of the year, referring to Kim as tastless and classless. The Kardashians have a great manager...he has helped them perpetuate a show about nothing.

    Let's imagine for one minute that your perception of what I said is wrong and all I think is that Jane saying something hateful just in itself is wrong, and that I don't believe in force feeding her what she should say. Oh, wait. You don't have to imagine that because it's what I actually believe.

    You are right, you could feel the hatred in Jane Pitts words. You know exactly where she is coming from when she emphasizes our presidents middle name and brings up reverend Wright. I would not be surprised to find out that she is a birther as well.
