Brad Pitt's unbreakable charm: How he maintains Hollywood Royalty status amidst controversy

Brad Pitt, once crowned "Sexiest Man Alive" twice, has been a Hollywood icon for decades.

However, recent years have seen cracks in his golden image due to allegations of abuse during his tumultuous divorce from Angelina Jolie. Despite these claims, Pitt's career has remained largely unaffected. How does he do it?

Scaachi Koul from Slate speculates and posits these threories:

Pitt's reputation management is a masterclass in public relations. From crafting a narrative of a devoted father and recovering addict to using his production company to champion women-centric films, he has carefully curated his image.

His divorce from Jolie brought to light serious allegations, including an incident of alleged physical and verbal abuse on a private jet. However, these claims have been largely brushed aside by Hollywood and the media.   

Despite the alleged estrangement from most of his children, Pitt continues to be portrayed as a doting father in the press. His recent ventures, including his upcoming film "Wolves" with George Clooney, receive extensive positive coverage, further cementing his status as a Hollywood A-lister.

While Pitt's production company has championed diverse voices and women-centric stories, his involvement in projects like "She Said" raises eyebrows, given his past association with Harvey Weinstein and the allegations against him.

The article questions whether Pitt's carefully crafted image can withstand the scrutiny of his alleged actions. Ultimately, it highlights the stark contrast between his public persona and the troubling allegations that continue to surface.
