The custody battle between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is taking an ugly turn.

An insider close to Brad Pitt said Page six that the actor was “heartbroken” to learn that Jolie is preparing to testify about her alleged spousal abuse during a child custody trial.

“Brad is heartbroken that Angelina took that path. There is a lot of emotion left after their marriage, ”said the source, before explaining that Pitt has recognized his actions and is in a different space now that he stopped drinking. However, Jolie is unwilling to follow suit and take responsibility for her shortcomings.

“He has taken responsibility for his actions and has acknowledged his past problems, he has stopped drinking and smoking, but she has never admitted any flaws,” the source continued.

“The marriage was very passionate and toxic at times and, like all couples, they had fights, but they also shared a lot of good times together.”

Pitt and Jolie separated and divorced in 2019, however there is still a fierce fight for custody of their six children. Earlier this month, reports leaked claiming that Jolie and her children are willing to testify and offer “evidence and authority in support” of their allegations of spousal abuse.

Although his legal team claims to have evidence, the source explains that Pitt was never arrested or charged with domestic violence during their nearly 15-year relationship. Pitt had a physical confrontation with his 19-year-old son, Maddox, but he reportedly believes the leak is a personal attack against him.

“Brad has never been arrested or charged with anything and there has never been a police report on allegations of spousal abuse. There was the incident with the plane, which was widely publicized, but was never charged, ”the source explained.

“Brad and his camp have never attacked Angelina. But his group feels this leak was calculated to sway opinion before the conclusion of his trial. Brad feels like he’s increasingly isolated from his kids and he’s devastated by it. “

The trial moves slowly toward a conclusion. Many believe that the private judge, whom Jolie has tried to remove from the case, will make his decision this month. Pitt is currently fighting for custody of 50% of his children.
