There seem to be newer developments emerging in the much-discussed, sensationalized, and ongoing dispute between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Initially deemed Hollywood’s ultimate power couple, the separation that ensued between the two talents sent shockwaves across the industry. What has since followed is a never-ending buildup of allegations, legal disputes, and an arduous custody battle — most of which has yet to reach a fitting conclusion.
As per some latest information, derived from insider sources, it is being alluded that the Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood alum was left shell-shocked after an incident that occurred during Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s 17th birthday, the first biological child of the former couple. Will this particular development lead to an elevated level of bitterness between the two?
The On-going Dispute Between Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie
Before diving deeper into the matter at hand, we must quickly recap the reason behind such drastic developments. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who were once a much-celebrated couple in showbiz, separated in 2016 when the Maleficent star filed for a divorce, two years after their marriage. This decision, as was later affirmed by Jolie’s attorney Robert Offer in a statement to the press, was for the greater good and wellbeing of the family.
Following their divorce, the two have spent years battling over the custody of their children. Much recently, what took the world by storm yet again, was when Brad Pitt filed a lawsuit against Angelina Jolie in February 2022 over her choice to sell her shares in Château Miraval, a French vineyard owned by the couple. This decision was taken without the consent of the actor.
On October 4, 2022, what aggravated the situation further was when Jolie, in a cross-complaint directed at Pitt, alleged that the 59-year-old actor was “physically and emotionally abusive” towards their children and Jolie herself; detailing a flight incident that took place a few days before the filing of the divorce in 2016.
These accusations have been actively denied by the Fight Club alum, as per sources close to him.
A Newer Development In The Never-ending Saga
The 17-year-old Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, daughter to the former couple, was apparently taken by Angelina Jolie to Jamaica for her birthday celebrations. According to a recent source, this action may have evoked some resentment in Brad Pitt. The reason behind this may point to Pitt being deprived of the option of spending time with his daughter on her birthday, as claimed by the insider.
Following was the source’s statement:
“Brad would have loved to celebrate Shiloh’s birthday with her, but that wasn’t even an option. Of course, he can’t prove it, but he’s convinced Angelina purposely took the girls out of town to spite him.”
Emphasized by the insider, furthermore, was that while Jolie, who was accompanied by daughters Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and Zahara Jolie-Pitt, enjoyed their time together at the Calabash International Literary Festival, Pitt was reportedly disregarded. This insider source alleges that the Babylon star is convinced that this was an intentional move on Jolie’s part.
This report from OK! Magazine also details that Brad Pitt, despite the current circumstances, seems to be optimistic about the future, patiently awaiting the day Shiloh Jolie-Pitt turns 18. The actor hopes for things to change once his daughter is of legal age. This seemed to be a slight nod at the custody battle that the former couple have been engaged in for years; within the limits of which they have to operate.
The future is yet to decide what other disheartening developments will occur in this endless chain of baffling events.
