Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's divorce has not been a smooth one despite the former couple's commitment to ensuring the smooth transition of their separation by considering what is best for their children. But fans will know that such delicate procedures and processes are only made worse by the gossip industry's tendency to capitalize on the craziest stories.

Recently, a rumor that George Clooney is taking it upon himself to mediate the current conflict between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has been swimming like sharks in the rumor pool. Allegedly, Clooney is trying to convince Jolie's camp to tone down the supposed mudslinging between the former couple.

Gossip Cop has recently debunked these rumors by pointing out the rumor mills' tendency to overinflate the actual relationship between Brad Pitt and George Clooney on multiple occasions. The publication points out that George Clooney and Brad Pitt may not be as close as Hollywood thinks after Brad Pitt's separation from his first wife, Jennifer Aniston, citing his ignorance of Brad Pitt's high-profile divorce from Angelina Jolie in 2016.

Clooney has mostly been linked to Brad Pitt in recent rumors about the latter reuniting with Jennifer Aniston. Rumors about George Clooney rooting for team Braniston after Brad Pitt's divorce with Angelina Jolie and Aniston's recent divorce with Justin Theroux have been spreading like wildfire.

The rumors about Clooney involving himself in his former co-stars' love life get as absurd with claims that Clooney sets up Italian romantic dinners and yacht dates for the “Fight Club” actor and “Friends” actress. Clooney's sudden inclusion as a busybody in rumors about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's divorce is equally hilarious and unsurprising considering how often the gossip industry loves using him as an enabling scapegoat for their own speculations.

While fans of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are hoping that the former couple will be able to smoothen out their differences and finalize their custody and divorce proceedings smoothly, stories about George Clooney bothering to involve himself in what already seems like a complicated matter should be taken with a grain of salt.
