Following domestic abuse allegations made by Angelina Jolie against Brad
Pitt, the actor is reportedly devastated. However, it appears that his ex-wife,
Jennifer Aniston, has come forward in support.
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's history dates back to well before he began
dating Angelina Jolie. Their paths first crossed in 1994, and they officially
started dating in 1998. Brad proposed to Jennifer in 1999, and they tied the
knot in 2000. Unfortunately, their marriage didn't withstand the test of time,
leading to a divorce in 2005. It was during their marriage that Brad met
Angelina Jolie, and their romance ignited on the set of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith."
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were involved in a high-profile relationship for
ten years before marrying in August 2014. However, just over two years into
their marriage, they decided to part ways in September 2016. The divorce
proceedings between Angelina and Brad have been ongoing since then. In a
bitter turn of events, Angelina accused Brad of domestic abuse, and it was
reported that the actor was deeply affected by these allegations.
According to Mirror reports, Jennifer Aniston reached out to Brad Pitt as soon
as she learned about the allegations against him and his emotional state.
Jennifer reportedly assured Brad of her support and expressed her willingness
to appear in court if necessary. Brad, understandably saddened by the divorce
case and its contentious nature, found comfort in Jennifer's support. It's
also said that Jennifer's support has rekindled their friendship as exes.
Angelina Jolie, aged 45, and Brad Pitt, aged 57, are currently engaged in a
custody battle for their minor children, including Pax (17), Zahara (16),
Shiloh (14), and twins Knox and Vivienne (12). During their divorce and
custody trial, Angelina accused Brad of domestic abuse, claiming she had
"proof and authority" to support her allegations.
A source close to Brad Pitt revealed to Page Six that the actor was
"heartbroken" by these accusations. The source mentioned that Brad had
acknowledged his past actions and taken responsibility for them. The source
stated, "The marriage was very passionate and toxic at times and they had
fights, but also shared many good times together."
Furthermore, the source expressed Brad's feelings of devastation at being
distanced from his children and believed it was a strategic move to influence
public opinion before the trial's conclusion. The source added, "Brad feels
like he’s being more and more isolated from his children, and he’s devastated
about it."
It's important to note that according to reports from HollywoodLife, Angelina
Jolie had accused Brad Pitt of domestic violence. She filed documents in court
on March 12, 2021, claiming to have "proof and authority" to substantiate her
allegations. A source also suggested that this leak of information was part of
a broader effort to tarnish Brad's reputation, continuing the contentious
nature of their divorce proceedings.
