Angelina Jolie's father, 82-year-old John Jott, shared his thoughts about the divorce of his daughter with Brad Pitt. Now the former spouses still lead a legal struggle for custody of children. As far as it is known, Jolie does not share the views of Pitt to raise children and wants to do it on their own, while the actor is trying to achieve equal division of guardianship.
"Brad has had difficulty with alcohol. I hope he decided this problem, I pray for him. Children cope with the situation as they can, "said Father Angelina.
Jolie filed for a divorce with Pitt in 2016. After that, she stated that Brad, being drunk, quarreled with the 19-year-old adoptive Son Maddox. There were rumors that Pitt then applied strength to the young man. Social services paid attention to this, which "looked after the actor" for a couple of years, however, as far as it is known, the manifestation of cruelty to his son on his part was not proved, and the newly disturbing cases of human rights defenders were found. Nevertheless, this year, Angelina stated that he could prove the manifestation of Pitt's aggression to children.
As for alcohol addiction, Brad says this problem is open. In 2019, the actor admitted: "I went too far, as far as possible. Therefore, now deprived himself the right to drink. "
Insiders close to Brad have repeatedly noted that the actor admitted his mistakes committed in relations with Angelina. "Their marriage left a large emotional trace. But Pitt accepted responsibility for his actions and past mistakes, he threw a drink. Their relationship was very passionate and toxic, like many couples. He is killed by grief due to the fact that Jolie chose this path [accusations and trial], and feels cut off from children, "the source told the source last month.
