Nicole Poturalski has been pushed into the spotlight after it was reported earlier this year that she was officially dating famous actor Brad Pitt.

The German model, who was relatively unknown until her relationship with Pitt became public, has been getting a lot of hate from the legion of fans of Angelina Jolie, Pitt’s ex-wife.

In a heartfelt Instagram story, the model and mother of one asked her fans why there was such a lot of hate towards her, explaining that she does not understand why this is so.

The model looked sultry in the Instagram story while expressing her feelings towards the ‘hateful comments’ she gets. She also said that people doing so are ‘sad.’

Poturalski was first photographed with Brad Pitt after they attended Kanye West’s opera in Hollywood bowl.

The two at that time were said to be just casually seeing each other. But in the recent photos of the two taken when they landed in the South of France says otherwise.

The budding romance between 56-year-old actor Brad Pitt and the model comes in the midst of a bloody battle between Pitt and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie for their five children's custody.

Poturalski has continued to post on her Instagram of photos of her with cryptic captions. Hateful comments from fans of Angelina Jolie has flooded her photos.

Her France vacation with Brad Pitt was heavily scrutinized even by Pitt’s fans after revealing that the actor brought the model to Chateau Miraval.

Chateau Miraval is a special place for Angelina Jolie as it was where she and Pitt got married. The intimate wedding was only attended by a handful of their close family and, of course, their six children.

Angelina Jolie also rocked a very special wedding dress. Her veil was embroidered with doodle made by her kids, making sure that their six kids were a big part of their wedding.

Right now, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s custody battle has begun once again, and it is said to be the most extensive custody battle in Hollywood.

Pitt especially has called on a myriad of witnesses, trying to win the custody of their kids. He has expressed before that he wants a 50/50 split between him and Angelina, but Angelina will only settle for that agreement if Brad allows her to move countries together with their five children.

Angelina Jolie and Brad have cut off contact with each other unless it is for their kids.
