I'd say Angelina Jolie did get a fair amount of negative press for being with Brad Pitt, especially right at the beginning of their relationship. I'd venture to guess the public in general still thinks of her as a homewrecker (though I disagree), but I think she helped her image in the press by distracting them with talk of adoption, pregnancy and charity work.

Julia Roberts did get an easier time of it, but I think it's because she hasn't been very visable in the last few years. She hasn't been churning out movies or making a spectacle of herself.
