Angelina Jolie allegedly wants her lawyers to reach out to Brad Pitt after a judge granted them joint custody of their children.
In its June 21 issue, National Enquirer claimed that the last thing that Jolie wants is to reach out to Pitt. However, she has decided to go all out in an attempt to convince her ex-husband to give her full custody of their children.
Now, a source is saying that Jolie is aware that she has lost her leverage so she hit the panic button.
“Her plan all along was to get full custody and paint him as a bad dad – but no one is buying her story,” the source said.
Judge John Ouderkirk ruled in favor of Pitt after realizing that Jolie was also willing to risk the safety of her children to make sure that she won’t share custody of her kids.
The Maleficent star previously encouraged Maddox to speak against Pitt in her attempt to convince the judge that the actor shouldn’t be granted joint custody.
Jolie also expressed her desire for Ouderkirk to hear what her younger children had to say about their dad. However, this didn’t reportedly sit well with the judge.
But despite the recent ruling, Jolie has not given up hope that she will be granted full custody of her kids.
“Angie is angling to have her legal eagles cut the best deal possible. But Brad’s team feels like they have all the momentum. He’s happy with the joint custody ruling. But after all she’s put him through, he doesn’t want to make things easy for Angie,” the source said.
As of late, there are reports claiming that Jolie is trying to appeal her case. But there is no proof that she’s trying to cut a deal with Pitt.
And even if she is, the tabloid failed to provide the details of what Jolie is allegedly trying to do.
As for Pitt, the actor is reportedly thrilled that the court sided with him after his years-long custody battle with Jolie.
Meanwhile, Jolie also made headlines this week after she was photographed arriving and then leaving her ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller’s apartment building in Brooklyn.
Photos of the actress show her entering the building, but it is unclear if she recently went up to visit Miller.
And if Jolie did, it’s also unclear what her purpose for meeting with her ex-husband really is.
