Angelina Jolie Unveils 'Painful Events' Behind Brad Pitt Divorce: Inside the Emotional Turmoil

Angelina Jolie has detailed her split from Brad Pitt in a new legal update on the 'painful events' that led to their 8-year divorce

ANGELINA JOLIE SPEWS THE TEA: EXPOSING PAINFUL DETAILS OF HER 8-YEAR BATTLE WITH BRAD PITT

The drama-filled divorce of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is still making headlines, and this time, it's Angelina who's spilling the tea. The actress, 50, has finally detailed the "painful events" that led to their messy split in a new court declaration.

It all started back in 2016 when Angelina filed for divorce from her then-husband Brad, just days after an infamous incident aboard a private jet. Sources close to the couple claim Brad was physically and verbally abusive towards Angelina and their children while intoxicated. However, Brad has denied these allegations.

The actress, 50, filed for divorce from the actor, 61, in 2016, just days after an infamous incident aboard a private jet in which she accused Brad of being physically and verbally abusive toward her and her children while intoxicated, claims he's denied

The former couple shares six beautiful kids together: Maddox, 24; Pax, 21; Zahara, 20; Shiloh, 19; and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. But it seems like the kids are slowly distancing themselves from their father. In recent months, several of them have dropped Brad's last name from their monikers, with Zahara being the first to make the change.

But what's really got tongues wagging is Angelina's latest court declaration, in which she opens up about the difficulties of their divorce. "The events leading to my need to separate from my ex-husband were emotionally difficult for me and our children," she writes. "Upon filing for divorce, I left him control (and full residency) of our family homes in Los Angeles and at Miraval, without compensation, which I hoped would make him calmer in his dealings with me after a difficult and traumatic period."

It's clear that Angelina is still reeling from the aftermath of their split. She reveals that she and her kids have never set foot on the property since the divorce, due to its connection to the painful events leading up to it. But what's even more shocking is that Brad has been trying to get his hands on Angelina's private messages as part of their ongoing court battle over their French winery.

BRAD PITT WANTS ANGELINA'S PRIVATE MESSAGES

In a bizarre twist, Brad Pitt is now requesting access to Angelina's private messages in a bid to gather evidence for their ongoing clash over the vineyard and home. Sources close to the couple claim that Brad is convinced Angelina made the sale of her stake in the winery without his consent, which could potentially cost him millions.

Angelina's former investment company, Nouvel, owed Brad's company, Mondo Bongo, the right of first refusal when it came to selling their stakes. But it seems like Brad thinks Angelina's actions were a deliberate attempt to undermine his business dealings.

JENNIFER ANISTON SPEAKS OUT

Meanwhile, Jennifer Aniston, Brad's ex-wife, has broken her silence on their highly publicized divorce. In a rare interview with Harper's Bazaar UK, she revealed that she had been trying to have a baby for 20 years, but was ultimately unable to conceive.

Jennifer, 56, claims that the false narrative that she didn't want children because she's selfish and workaholic has taken a toll on her. "They didn’t know my story, or what I’d been going through over the past 20 years to try to pursue a family," she said. "That’s not anybody’s business. But there comes a point when you can’t not hear it – the narrative about how I won't have a baby, won't have a family, because I’m selfish, a workaholic."

Jennifer was married to Brad Pitt from 2000-2005 but they split when she was aged 35 (pictured in 2004) - Jennifer admits: 'My late 30s, 40s, I'd gone through really hard sh[*]t... I was trying to get pregnant'

It's clear that Jennifer is still hurting from their divorce, which ended her marriage to Brad in 2005. And it seems like she's not alone in her struggles with infertility. In 2022, Jennifer revealed that she had tried IVF, but unfortunately, it didn't work out.

THE BATTLE FOR MIRAVAL

As the drama between Angelina and Brad continues to unfold, one thing is clear: they're both willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want. But with their children caught in the middle, it's hard not to feel for them. Will Angelina finally reveal all the secrets of her messy divorce? Only time will tell.
