Brad Pitt never visits his grandmother, who lives in a sub-standard nursing home

This story doesn’t really make sense to me, but let’s play along. The British tabs – The Mail and The Sun – are reporting that Brad Pitt is a really awful grandson. His grandmother, Betty Russell, is living in a “sub-standard nursing home” in Oklahoma, and Brad hasn’t been to visit her since 2008. Grandma Betty really wishes Brad would come visit her, but she kind of understands why he hasn’t – because of The Villainess Jolie!!! No, not really. I’m honestly surprised that this report doesn’t explicitly blame Angelina:

Brad Pitt’s family have sent a public plea for the actor to visit his grandmother ahead of her 90th birthday. The Moneyball star, 48, has not seen Betty Russell, who resides in a sub-standard nursing home in Oklahoma, for over four years, according to his great-aunt.
Speaking to The Sun, Mary Ann Lanier said: ‘Betty misses him. He doesn’t write, he doesn’t seem to stay in contact with her.’
The last time Brad visited was in 2008, when he and Angelina Jolie, at the time pregnant with twins Knox and Vivienne, attended a family gathering with their children Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh.
‘The last time he came to Shawnee, Angelina was very pregnant. She was just great, just like a member of the family,’ Mary Ann told the paper. ‘There was no put-on airs or anything like that. She is a beautiful person. I’m pleased she is with Brad and pleased she’s so concerned with children, that both of them are.’
Mrs Lanier revealed that her superstar nephew used to send his grandmother flowers every month and frequently called her to check in.
Mrs Russell’s nursing home room is covered in pictures of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, with the Jolie-Pitts featuring heavily, she says.
The Rose Manor Nursing Center in Shawnee, Oklahoma, where Mrs Russell resides, rated far below average on a state inspection in December, the Sun reports.
Brad is close to his parents Jane and William, who accompanied him and Angelina to the Oscars over the weekend. The Pitts are regularly pictured visiting the couple on film sets and helping to care for their brood.

Er…?? Brad should make time to visit his granny, sure. But they make it sound like Brad shoved his grandmother into a sub-standard nursing home and he’s the ONLY one in his family who can do anything about it. What about Brad’s parents? What about Brad’s siblings? Doesn’t he have a large, extended family that all reside in Oklahoma andMissouri? But yes, he should visit his grandma. Poor Betty. And he should help find Betty a new nursing home too.
