Why No Denial

[Blind Gossip] After that rumor was floated that this established actor is dating this beautiful actress, his team was flooded with requests from various media outlets looking for confirmation or denial.

Did you notice that they didn’t get anything? Not a yes. Not a no. Not a maybe.

Here’s why!

The rumor doesn’t hurt him at all. In fact, it makes him look like a normal divorced guy who was focused on his kids for the past year and is now seeing a beautiful woman. She is cool with it, too.

Since Beauty is fine with it, everyone is just going to play coy and not say anything.

His team actually had a similar strategy when it came to rumors last year about him dating that smart, professional woman. No confirmation. No denial. The rumor didn’t hurt him and Smarty was fine with it, so they let it ride.

This time, though, with Beauty, his team is getting smarter about proactive messaging.

They basically said, “Thanks for calling. We’re not going to confirm or deny anything… but if you do run with this story, could you please also mention he was only drinking water and he’s clean and sober and being a great father to his kids? Thanks!”

That’s the real messaging they want. If they can get that out there while you talk about them dating, that’s a good thing.

And if they need that message reinforced, they should send Actor and Beauty out to dinner on a “date”, make sure that there’s a pitcher of water and two full water glasses on the table, and make sure that someone covertly photographs them. Or send them on a play date with his kids and her kids. Clean and sober. Good parents.

By the way…we have something to tell you about the Actor’s relationship with Smarty last year.

Never. Happened.

The rumor was a complete fabrication by media sources eager to link him to any woman who looked like a possible love interest.

Perhaps they are doing it again. This time, though, his team is smarter about how they respond to it.

  1. Brad Pitt (my future husband once he’s done trolling lol)
    That horrid Ivy League woman/professor he was supposedly dating
    Charlize Theron

    Yes, I think he is probably doing much better than he was. Do I think he is completely dry? Not a chance. I do however think he is in a better place and trying to do right by his (our kids) tee hee 🙂

  4. Brad Pitt, that one prof. From MIT. And Im not sure about the actress but I hope he goes younger. Im team Brad because Angie is a * lunatic

  5. I’m puzzled as to why the public or fans of these celebrities, are not sick and tired of being scammed by them and the constant lies and games they play with them??? I mean, it’s not like the public does NOT know that all these celebrities do is scheme and lie to them constantly, playing games with them and putting falsehoods out there for them to fall for……THEY KNOW!!!! I’m just dumbfounded as to why they accept it and go along with the games these people play??? WHY???

    • I totally agree with you that the public should be outraged, if not at the very least annoyed, but people genuinely believe in this crap and the glitz, glam, smoke, and mirrors of Hollywoods PR stunts. I genuinely don’t think a good majority of people realize how deceptive Hollywood really is. And don’t even get me started on how severely overpaid these people are…it’s all ridiculous.

    • why do you think the public knows? If this wasn’t selling more magazines and creating bankable press etc then why would celebs keep doing it? They ARE pulling the wool of the eyes of much of the public. We who read BG and similar just have a different point of view in knowing better but if you just read PEOPLE or ET WEEKLY etc and watched TMZ with power couples exiting dinners wouldn’t you just think well “celebs date other celebs” ?

    Clean, sober AROUND the kids.

  20. Brad Pitt and Charlize Theron. Except, we all know Brad IS a devoted dad who’s innocent of all accusations and totally above the PR game! He’d never stage photo ops or stories, unlike his conniving, vicious, man-stealing, evil witch ex Devilina .

    • The man is not perfect, after all, lets not forget what business he’s a part of. He has his demons just like many of them do in the land of show business, just probably better at hiding them! Remember, he was married when he started up with Angelina, and karma came back and bit him in the ass, just like many knew it would. Angelina couldn’t make him fall in love with her, and procreate, he definitely had a hand in it equally.

    I hope so for his children’s sakes

  26. Brad Pitt
    Charlize Theron
    Neri Oxman

    I think he probably has sobered up and very much wants his kids. I’m sure he’s a good dad.

  27. Brad Pitt
    Charlize Theron
    …some professor, I think?

    I don’t really believe he’s sober, but I’d like to believe he’s at least an adequate parent.

  31. Brad Pitt
    Charlize Theron
    I remember the rumour about the other woman but the name escapes me.
    I’d imagine he isn’t allowed to be a good father to his kids….He’s probably not allowed near them.

  33. Charlize and Brad. The professor.

    Actually, I do. Kids need to be with him away from their crazy mother!

  34. Brad Pitt
    Charlize Theron
    MIT professor

    I think he’s clean and sober. In fact I don’t think he had a problem. I think his ex put that out to make him look bad.

  38. Brad Pitt
    Charlize Theron
    Smart Harvard teacher 😩😂😂

    I genuinely do believe brad loves every single one of his children and wants them so he’ll do whatever’s possible to look good in the public eye and the courts

    His people initially totally denied the Charlize dating story then a day later decided to have a no comment on it and let it float around.

    Too bad. Neri is gorgeous and smart.

    I dunno. Hopefully. They all deserve it. Him as well.

    I think he’s better than he was before.

  49. Brad Pitt/Charlize Theron/MIT Professor Neri Oxman

    I still think Angelina has WAY more issues than Brad but maybe I underestimated Brad’s issues a little; plus, that’s probably why he fell for her in the first place (because of his own ‘demons’).
