The ongoing custody battle between Hollywood ex-power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has taken a tumultuous turn, as Pitt accuses Jolie of manipulating their children against him. The “Fight Club” alum contends that Jolie is intentionally driving a wedge between him and their kids, with a specific focus on their 15-year-old daughter, Vivienne.
Reports from Life & Style reveal that tensions have risen between Pitt and Jolie due to their daughter’s involvement in a joint project. Jolie and Vivienne have teamed up for an upcoming musical adaptation of “The Outsiders,” scheduled for Broadway. Jolie praised her daughter’s role, noting that Vivienne is “not focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives.”
However, Pitt reportedly views this collaboration differently. He suspects that Jolie’s partnership with Vivienne is a calculated attempt to manipulate and influence their daughter against him. An undisclosed source shared, “He thinks this is just another attempt by Angie to drive a wedge between him and his daughter.”
The former couple’s contentious split, which followed a 12-year romance, has intensified due to this situation. Their custody battle over their six children, including Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne, has reached new heights of complexity.
According to insiders, Jolie’s alleged manipulation tactics are no secret. The source explained, “It’s no secret that Angie’s always trying to make sure the kids are Team Mom. She’s a master manipulator when it comes to the children taking sides.” This perceived influence has further exacerbated the already strained relationship between Pitt and Jolie.
The custody struggle adds significant strain to the situation. Despite Pitt recognizing his daughter’s passion for the project, he remains concerned about the potential impact on his relationship with Vivienne amid the ongoing turmoil.
As the battle for custody continues, the conflict between the two high-profile figures has escalated into what insiders describe as a “whole new war.” The complex dynamics at play highlight the intricate challenges faced by celebrity couples navigating separation and co-parenting in the public eye.
