Chapter 333 Pincer Attack from Front and Rear
Hollywood, this Vanity Fair, has a rather harsh ecosystem, especially for women with good looks.
Women have to stick together and wield prestige and power to fight the evil that exists.
So, Jolie and Aniston chose to stand shoulder to shoulder, fighting against the bastard Martin who wanted to use violence.
In Martin's words, the two openly played 'landlord' against the bad father, as if playing poker with the Federal.
Jolie and Aniston dodged left and right, forward and back, up and down, constantly changing positions.
In short, they ensured that the landlord, the bad father Martin, was stuck in the middle, fully aware of the hard-hitting pinch!
Aniston was only a little uncomfortable at first but soon got completely into it, openly fighting the landlord, much more fun than two playing 'Run Fast'.
Martin was fought so hard that many times he switched from the landlord, the bad father, to a good Samaritan.
Nothing beats the satisfaction of playing poker all day long, making hot dogs with the same 'J' in the same room seconds apart, to resolve conflicts between women.
The women of Hollywood, worldly and experienced as they are, handled these matters with ease.
"Jennifer Aniston, don't you want revenge?"
The poker-playing, hot dog-making Jolie yelled at Aniston, "Go ahead and take revenge! Slam into Martin with all your might! You didn't skip your meal, did you?"
Not only did Aniston place both hands on Martin's lower back, but she also leaned in with her shoulders to take her revenge!
Jolie witnessed it all and cried tears of excitement.
Ever since she first stole her mother's boyfriend at sixteen, she had never felt as happy as she did now.
Martin wiped away the tears rolling down Jolie's face.
Jolie nodded at him and asked, "When are you going to call Louise over?"
Martin got angry and shouted, "Jen, put in more effort!"
Good guy Martin, always playing good Samaritan.
After Martin's helpful activity ended, Aniston saw Jolie's tear-stained face and felt a sense of cathartic pleasure as if she had administered the help herself and said, "Angie, if you dare cross me again, I'll... I'll... I'll... I'll... I'll... I'll...

I'll... I'll... I'll say it outright, I don't know if anyone has ever been in the cooling system of a building. It is imperative you learn it or you will get wet, and it is no fun when you get wet. When fixing the building cooling system you should be aware that it's similar to operating a giant freezer - it's all about air circulation, controlled by large fans that suck in the air.
Martin got them both up and said, "Let's put all this behind us, go take a shower, and discuss serious matters."
After bathing and changing clothes, Martin called Jolie and Aniston to the second-floor terrace to discuss the next step of the plan.
With such a good opportunity, of course, they had to hit the enemy when he's down, leaving no chance for Pitt to recover.
Nothing triggers a man more than turning against him with the ex-wife and ex-girlfriends, their hatred knows no bounds.
After discussing for a while, Martin and the two reached an agreement.
Jolie and Aniston each drove off in their own cars.
Martin made a phone call and then headed up the South Slope along Cody Road to Louise's place.
Louise leaned against the bar, adjusted her black-rimmed glasses, and asked, "So, you've come to seek my help?"
Martin shook his head with a smile, "No, I've come to bring you a gift."
Louise poured two drinks and handed one to Martin. "How so?"
Martin said, "I remember you're a director of the Los Angeles Women's Rights Organization Freedom Association. Now several female nannies have been violated by Pitt. Shouldn't you pay attention and raise your voice for women, to denounce the villain who recklessly harms them? This is a good opportunity for you to elevate your status within the association."
Louise clinked her glass with Martin's, "You really have a way with words. You make it sound like I owe you a favor when it's clearly your own vendetta."
Martin seriously said, "Missing such a good opportunity, who knows how long you'd have to wait. If it were someone else, I definitely wouldn't remind her."
"So, should I be properly thanking you now?" Louise downed her drink in one go.
Martin finished his drink along with her and said, "Given our relationship, there's no need for such formalities."
Louise put down her glass and stepped closer, "No, I really must thank you properly."
Martin sighed internally, it's really tough being a man!
Louise teased, "Are you saying you can't?"
What real man can't perform? Without saying more, Martin shifted from passive to active, and after playing the good Samaritan, he began scoring eagle shots.
The ecosystem in Hollywood is truly terrible, it's too hard for a man to protect himself.
Meanwhile, near Koreatown.
At the doorstep of Latina nanny Caroline's home, a disappointed lawyer drove away as another lawyer's car pulled up.
The thirty-something female lawyer Camille, accompanied by Jody, knocked on the door and easily entered Caroline's home, leveraging her advantages as a woman and Latina.
This woman spoke in a friendly and straightforward manner, which made it easy for the uneducated Caroline to understand. In just half a day, she had gained Caroline's trust.
With Jody's help, the two sides quickly signed a contract for legal representation.
Jody and Camille then said their goodbyes and rushed to the residence of the next "nannygate" victim.
"This lawsuit is bound to cause a sensation across America," Jody looked at Camille and said once again, "TMZ's demands are quite simple: to drag it out as long as possible, creating more news."
Camille knew that TMZ wanted sensational news, and said, "Similar lawsuits, once they enter proceedings, take a long time, even if they end in an out-of-court settlement, it still takes three to five months or even longer, especially since I will have the victims demand astronomical sums."
As a lawyer, as long as she secured the representation contract, her name would be made. Whether she won the case or settled out of court, she would receive up to 50% of the compensation as legal fees.
Jody said, "Someone is pushing this from behind the scenes. Pitt will inevitably bleed heavily. You saw the news today too, Jolie couldn't wait to come forward and trample on Pitt. At the moment, Jolie represents a kind of mainstream voice in Hollywood. If I'm not mistaken, there will be more people coming out to step on Pitt."
Camille was aware of this: "Just now, Caroline mentioned that the women's rights protection organization in Los Angeles contacted her, offering the necessary help."
Jody frowned slightly, "I don't know who is behind this, but this round is tough for Pitt."
Camille couldn't help but laugh, "You at TMZ won't let him have it easy."
"From the moment TMZ released the nannygate news, they had already offended Pitt bitterly." Jody had seen his boss's determination and was clear about it: "Since an easy settlement is out of reach, let's use this incident to garner more hot news and turn Pitt into a real abuser, at least in the court of public opinion."
The impact of public opinion on a megastar has had clear examples in the American entertainment industry.
And the truth? The melon-eating audience doesn't care.
Camille said, "Pitt has been famous for so many years, I think there are more victims that have yet to come forward, people who dare not stand up."
Jody agreed with her viewpoint, "Definitely, there are people watching the situation."
While Pitt's side was busy with public relations, the spokesperson for the Los Angeles Women's Rights Organization Freedom Association specifically accepted an interview with reporters, expressing concern over the nannygate affair, sympathy and encouragement for the female victims, and stated they would provide necessary help.
Louise, of course, would not foolishly jump out herself. The Freedom Association was the largest women's rights protection organization in Los Angeles, abundant with cannon fodder to use.
Most importantly, this spokesperson faced the camera lenses and called out to other victims to stand up and say no, promising that the Freedom Association would protect their rights.
The current victims likewise called out for other victims to bravely come forward.
In places like California and Los Angeles, large leftist organizations like the Freedom Association, with a loud reputation, good credibility, and powerful influence, have strong appeal.
A middle-aged woman who had once worked as a dispatcher at a domestic agency came forward, publicly stating, "I received calls several times from Brad Pitt asking the company to send female domestic workers to his various properties for cleaning, all while insisting they wear the housekeeper nanny uniforms, and not be over 40 years old.
I've talked with them, and many have suffered Brad Pitt's harassment."
The news of Caroline and other victims signing the legal contract with lawyer Camille also spread, and the demanded compensation was likewise exposed.
Substantial money is certainly the best tool for encouragement.
Within just one day, two more victims emerged, publicly denouncing the persecution they suffered from Brad Pitt.
As to whether there were people muddying the waters, Pitt probably couldn't remember how many nannies he had had over the years.
The related public sentiment swayed further left, and the situation grew increasingly unfavorable for Brad Pitt.
Following Jolie, his former girlfriend, Aniston, his ex-wife, also stood up and harshly stepped on Pitt a few more times.
In the Warner Building newsroom, just as the routine publicity conference for "Limitless" entered the Q&A session, all the reporters' questions were thrown at the lead actress Jennifer Aniston, all about Brad Pitt.
"Miss Aniston, what's your opinion on the incident where many housekeepers have accused Pitt?"
"Are you aware of these things?"
"Several housekeepers praised you as a good person, are you specially cleaning up Pitt's mess?"
Throughout the press conference, Aniston's face was taut, and she never showed a smile, appearing extremely serious.
At that moment, she glanced quickly over Martin's face and stood up.
The focus of all media reporters and cameras fell on her.
Aniston bowed deeply and then said, "I apologize to all the victims, for my lack of vigilance, for all the words of praise I had for Brad Pitt in the past, I am sorry."
Her voice hoarse, "I always viewed the world through the kindest eyes, especially the people around me. I never imagined, Pitt was hiding so many things from me. Even a few months before our divorce, I still believed that Pitt gave me all his love..."
Tears flowed from Aniston's eyes, "The reason for my divorce from Pitt was not just because of Jolie; in fact, Jolie is also a victim, we've all been deceived by Pitt..."
She said many things accusing Pitt with nine parts truth and one part fiction.
Such words might be questioned if they came from someone else's mouth, but who is Aniston? America's sweetheart, the image of the ever-trusting big sister has taken root in people's hearts.
After conveying heartache and sincerity, Aniston then displayed bravery, "I've decided to cut all ties with Brad Pitt, and as a victim of Pitt's actions, Angelina Jolie bravely stands up and says no to everything related to Pitt. Here, I announce, Me Too! Refusing any form of cooperation with Pitt!"
"I urge other victimized women to bravely stand up and tell society, Me Too! It's not your fault, and you shouldn't feel ashamed, it's Brad Pitt who should!"
Nobody knew who started it, but the whole venue erupted into thunderous applause.
