And, to be honest, I don’t think they really care about what you lot say. I think it’s ridiculous, with what’s going on in the world, that’s front-page news? I mean, who’d have thought? It’s sick.” Watch Adele address this in the video below. > [](https://twitter.com/BenjaminBell/status/779128049522601984) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4507950/adele-on-brad-pitt-angelna-jolie-divorce/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4507950/adele-on-brad-pitt-angelna-jolie-divorce/"},"headline":"Adele on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: 'I Wish Them Both the Best, But I Don’t Care'","datePublished":"2016-09-26T17:52:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:00.187Z","description":"\"I wish them both the best, but I don’t care\"","url":"https://time.com/4507950/adele-on-brad-pitt-angelna-jolie-divorce/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","celebrities","Culture","Adele"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt09f7af7afcc2aa9c/6988a788f887dc1753e978e4/adele-brangelina.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt09f7af7afcc2aa9c/6988a788f887dc1753e978e4/adele-brangelina.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Adele In Concert - Auburn Hills, Michigan","caption":"Adele In Concert - Auburn Hills, Michigan","creditText":"Scott Legato—Getty Images for BT PR","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4507950/adele-on-brad-pitt-angelna-jolie-divorce/","name":"Adele on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: 'I Wish Them Both the Best, But I Don’t Care'"}}]}] ```
