Angelina Jolie (51) sparked discussion after confessing in an exclusive interview with Yahoo Celebrity that she has not dated at all for 10 years since her divorce from Brad Pitt. However, the comments on the article were overwhelmingly cold, with "she got what she deserved" far outnumbering expressions of sympathy.

Jolie recently opened up about her true feelings in an interview with Yahoo to promote her new film "Couture." She stated, "To be honest, I haven't dated even once since the divorce. Focusing on my children and family made that part of my life less central."

She also remarked, "Life has broken me a little bit," while adding, "I am thinking that I must live again and become free again." Regarding her daughters, she said, "They are bringing me back to who I was before. My daughters are creating a space where they become more than just my children to me."

The new film "Couture" tells the story of an American female director who receives a breast cancer diagnosis during Paris Fashion Week and redefines her life, with Jolie in the lead role. Jolie revealed she deeply resonated with the script after discovering a BRCA1 gene mutation in 2013 and undergoing a preventive mastectomy. The film is set to be released in the United States on June 26.

However, the reaction from netizens to the article was cold. Among the 1,500 comments, the top-ranked comment with 581 likes read: "She broke up his marriage to marry Brad Pitt, and after the divorce, she continued lawsuits for 10 years, filed false allegations, and made the children hate their father. Does she now have the right to sympathy?"

Another comment, with 120 likes, bluntly stated, "Life broke her? No. She broke life." Another comment, which also gained sympathy, said: "Pitt acknowledged his problems and underwent rehabilitation therapy, and has not said a single bad word since the divorce. Jolie is still playing the victim."

There is background to the cold reaction from netizens. Brad Pitt married actress Jennifer Aniston in 2000 but met Jolie while filming "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" in 2004 and divorced in 2005. At the time, global media extensively reported that "Jolie broke up Pitt's marriage," and Aniston also stated in an interview that she was hurt. The perception that Jolie broke the marriage of Aniston, who was loved in the U.S. with an image like "the friend next door," continues to influence public opinion about Jolie even 20 years later.

Meanwhile, in this interview, Jolie showed a calm attitude regarding her age of 51, saying, "Rather than thinking of getting older, I feel the need to live again." Regarding her statement that "life has broken me," despite having assets worth $120 million (approximately 160 billion won), one netizen mocked, "Starting over with $120 million in assets."
