This always needs reposting because people can't resist clickbait -- making them and clicking on them:
People who know don't talk and people who talk don't know.
When they've deemed it necessary to issue a statement to People, those have been curt, often little more than a phrase.
None of the tabloid articles that have predictably cropped up since her essay was posted have credible sounding "sources." And that includes People which quoted a "source" who merely embellished her statement that she "spent the last two months in and out of surgeries with my eldest daughter" by adding "pajamas" and "pediatric."
Their inner circle is very tight and nothing gets out of that circle. There were no leaks about the children's surgeries or their presence in a hospital, no leaks that Brad spent a year and a half with Alcoholics Anonymous or that Bradley Cooper played a role. No confidant or friend in-the-know would ever reveal anything about them no matter how innocuous. They guard all information zealously.
When friends like Marc Perrin, Frank Pollaro, Jacqueline Bisset, Elle Fanning, Loung Ung, Thomas Houseago, David Fincher have spoken about them, they've always limited it strictly to the topic at hand. They never divulge extraneous information. Even the normally loquacious Jon Voight is very circumspect when asked about them. They all know better.
A dead giveaway that a purported "source" or "friend" is a phony is a meandering, chatty tell-all offering info on their thoughts, feelings and lives. These mostly regurgitate publicly available info with the odd fabrication woven in. It isn't just the bottom feeders guilty of printing lies, distortions and half truths.
Again, people who know don't talk and people who talk don't know -- they are selling smoke. Only the hopelessly naive or delusional would buy what they're selling and believe that a member of their very small and loyal inner circle would ever reveal details about them to anyone outside their circle, least of all for public dissemination.

"The truth is that my children have seen things about themselves even from what's considered serious news people that are inaccurate. So my children have a very odd sense of who's telling the truth and what the truth really is and what they actually believe or trust."From the same interview
