Angelina Jolie is, allegedly, dragging her ongoing custody battle against Brad Pitt.
According to National Enquirer, Jolie wants to get her way that’s why she’s trying to prolong the proceedings. The Maleficent star, allegedly, wants Pitt to give up so she could get her way.
The tabloid claimed that Pitt and Jolie’s case has already cost them not less than $20 million. And this figure could increase because Jolie is, allegedly, willing to spend so much more if this means she’ll get the custody of her kids.
“Angie wants what she wants, and she doesn’t care how much it will cost,” the source said.
According to Star, Pitt is also livid at Jolie for what she’s been trying to do. The actress requested Judge John W. Ouderkirk to be removed from their case due to reported conflict of interests.
However, a source close to Jolie claimed that the actress isn’t trying to come after her ex-husband.
“Angie swears it’s about fairness, disclosure, and ethics,” the source said.
As for Pitt, he’s, allegedly, not sure if Jolie’s being sincere or if she has an ulterior motive for what’s she’s been trying to do.
“Right now, she’s calling all the shots,” the source said.
Rumors about Jolie and Pitt’s relationship have been rife for years. Author Ian Halperin previously claimed that the Jolie and Pitt’s marriage was filled with constant bickering and tears.
In 2017, Halperin said that Jolie and Pitt’s relationship was filled with stress and conflict.
“They used to believe they could trust each other with their innermost secrets. But with the breakdown of their marriage came resulting suspicions, on both their parts, that the other was hiding a secret life. I’ve been told that they both regularly accused each other of being unfaithful,” he said.
A source also told Star that Pitt and Jolie had fears that they would rekindle their romance with their exes. Jolie was worried about Pitt and Aniston getting back together. And Pitt was convinced that Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton shared a special connection.
However, one should take the claims made by the tabloid with a grain of salt. Pitt and Aniston didn’t get back together so Jolie didn’t have to worry about anything. And the same goes for Jolie and Thornton.
