Brad Pitt accuses Angelina Jolie of risking children's privacy

The actor says his estranged wife is trying to make him look bad, with little regard for the welfare of their six children.

BRAD PITT HAS accused Angelina Jolie of compromising their children’s privacy and is asking a judge to seal details about them emerging from the couple’s divorce, court papers show.

The 52-year-old star’s lawyers claim his estranged wife is showing little regard for the welfare of their three boys and three girls, as her attorneys try to make him look bad, according to a motion filed in a Los Angeles court.

Pitt’s legal team argues that Jolie has already violated an agreement to protect the privacy of the children — who range from age eight to 15 — by making public the names of family therapists.

The lawyers accuse Jolie, 41, of “attempting to clear the way to put in the public eye any allegations she can” without regard to the impact on the children.

Jolie filed for divorce in September, citing irreconcilable differences, and is seeking sole custody of the children.

Pitt was cleared by the FBI and social workers over allegations that he struck one of his children during a flight that month from France to Los Angeles.

Custody 

Pitt is seeking joint legal and physical custody.

He has been granted visits supervised by a therapist as part of a temporary custody agreement.

Under the deal Jolie has physical custody of the children — three of whom are adopted — at a rented LA house.

The A-listers — given the celebrity moniker Brangelina — wed in France in August two years ago, but had been a couple since 2004.

A hearing on Pitt’s motion is scheduled for 17 January.

    I guess that it will be the usual stitch up for the top EU jobs . Competence is not a requirement . If Von Der Leyen is the best that the EU can do then I am afraid that we are royally f****d .

    @Pat Hazzard: The shame.

    So you are saying that the racist colonists is the “democracy”.
    That those committing the crimes that brought all the suffering to the region are the “democracy”.

    While those defending from these atrocities are not.

    The shame.

    The share this “democracy” brings to democracy.

    Investigators from the European Public Prosecution’s Office ( EPPO) in recent months have been investigating her over interference in public functions, destruction of SMS, corruption & conflict of interest. In other word’s a crook!

    The Journal’s usual masceration of the language. The singular of the verb “to be” is “is”. Hence, the sentence should be “Fine Gael is …” Where do these people learn to write?

    Will be replaced by another EPP clown with open borders, taxes, green agenda and war business. Probably in favour of getting corrupted countries in Europe and also Ukraine. What can go wrong.
