I haven’t stopped thinking about it all week really - and I think it comes down to two things.

1) we saw the Jonás brothers grow up - and have seen their BS - the purity rings, the hypocrisy- from close and for many years. They don’t have the social capital or mystery that Pitt and the others have cultivated.

2) the roll out has been rushed and intense - the PR for this is absolutely terrible. I think Pitt and Depp took years to fully convert people to their side - and it wasn’t non stop leaks in 1 week to tmz - it was a much more subtle...

I am very amused by the staged paparazzi pictures though - and how even TMZ is saying he didn’t support her during her last post-partum...

I agree with all this, and also think the age of most people who know who Joe Jonas is plays a factor. They’re younger and less inclined to be pulled in by the f*ckery Depp and Pitt’s [older] fans are.
