Brangelina’s divorce proceedings seem to be getting messier and messier by the day…

A few weeks ago, we brought you the news that Angelina Jolie had benefitted greatly from selling a Winston Churchill painting that the 57-year-old actor gave her when they were married (it went for an eye-watering $11.5 million FYI!).

However, things seem to have taken a more sinister turn, thanks to a brand new court filing from March 12…

The latest bit of information from the likes of Entertainment Tonight and US Weekly involves a very serious allegation from Angelina Jolie, as the most recent court filing reportedly claims that the 45-year-old actress has accused Brad Pitt of domestic violence.

Not only that, but the reports claim that she and the children are willing to give “proof and authority in support” of those domestic violence claims…

Brad Pitt, on the other hand, doesn’t seem too worried about the claims, as sources close to the actor insisted that Angelina’s latest allegations are untrue, and have been made just to hurt him…

“Over the past four and a half years there have been a number of claims made by Angelina that have been reviewed and not substantiated,” an insider told US Weekly.

“The children have been used by Angelina to hurt Brad before and this is more of that behavior. This leaking of documents by her fourth or fifth set of lawyers has been done to hurt Brad.”

The source went on to explain that Angelina Jolie’s allegation could have been a calculated move to weaponize their children “in a last-ditch effort to gain a favorable outcome that will allow her to move the kids out of Los Angeles at her whim, without Brad’s approval or knowledge.”

They also confirmed once again that Brad Pitt has never laid a finger on Angelina Jolie or any of their children – Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 12.

“The kids have had endured so much trauma and this is just piling it on, but it’s out of Brad’s control,” the insider added.

“The time for compromise is over. He is done and won’t be manipulated by her ever again.”

We have no idea what the next step in the ongoing divorce process will be, but we suspect that it’s far from over! Especially as reports from last year claimed that Brad is still seeking “50/50 physical and legal custody of the kids”…

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie split back in 2016 (yes, it has really been that long!) and we can’t actually believe that the divorce has yet to be officially finalized!

We’re not holding our breath, but we can only hope that Hollywood’s former golden couple will reach a settlement soon…
