Brad Pitt has reportedly neglected his 89-year-old grandmother, who is currently residing in a "sub-standard" nursing home in Shawnee, Oklahoma. The Oscar-nominated star has been accused by his Great-Aunt Mary Ann Lanier, 77, of failing to take care of his grandmother Betty Russell.
In an interview with the UK's Sun newspaper, Lanier claims that Betty is currently living in the nursing home near where Pitt grew up as a child. She reportedly has pictures up of Brad, Angelina Jolie and their children, but it has been a long-time since the actor last visited. Mary Ann claims, "Betty misses him. He doesn't write, he doesn't seem to stay in contact with her.I don't know why he doesn't stay in contact with his grandmother. He used to send her flowers every month and call her once in a while". The actor, who is currently working on the blockbuster movie 'World War Z', last visited his grandmother in 2008, while Angelina was still pregnant with their twins Knox and Vivienne. Despite not seeing her grandson, Lanier claims Betty is doing "very well", adding, "She chose to be there. She's staying very alert. She loves bingo and gets out once in a while to get her hair done".
