“Brangelina” divorce after child abuse allegations
On Monday, Sept. 19, actress Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from actor Brad Pit.
This news comes shortly after the couple’s two-year wedding anniversary. The couple formally known as, Brangelina, has been together for a total of 12 years and has six kids together.
A source close to actor Brad Pit stated, “He got a heads-up two days before, and he was appealing to her to do this quietly – not to save the marriage but to consider the well -being of the children – and it was ignored. He is just wrecked by this.”
Pit is reportedly under investigation for child abuse by the L.A. County Department of Children and Family services. According to TMZ, there was an incident in which Pitt reportedly got verbally and physically abusive with the couple’s eldest child, Maddox, 15.
Hollywood Life states that Jolie wants full custody of the couple’s six kids; three biological and three adopted.
TMZ is claiming the reasoning of the divorce was because of Pit’s anger issues, rumors of infidelity, smoking marijuana, and overly drinking alcohol.
