Brad Pitt Blasts 'Bad Neighbors' Tag  5/6/08

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have hit back at claims their Hollywood neighbors are sick of the tabloid attention they have brought to their exclusive gated community.

Other residents of Los Angeles' exclusive Franklin Village are reported to be "outraged" by the photographers who now swarm around the area, desperate for a glimpse of the couple and their four children.

Website Animalnewyork.com claims a number of homeowners are rallying to try and force the Pitt-Jolie family out of the neighborhood. But Pitt doesn't believe the reports - insisting he gets on well with his neighbors.

He tells the New York Post, "This is the first I've heard of this, which tells me it's mostly not true. I have lived and worked in the same location off and on since 1995 and have never had any problems with my neighbors, only paparazzi and those who peddle in sensationalism."
