Hollywood's Messiest Divorce Keeps Brewing in LA Courts

Yo, LA fam, the saga of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt just won't quit, even after their divorce was finalized in December 2024. The Hollywood heavyweights, who called it splits after an eight-year legal grind, are still duking it out in court, and Angie’s latest filing is serving up some raw, emotional realness about their breakup.

According to new docs obtained by Us Weekly, Jolie is spilling on the 'difficult and traumatic period' that led to their separation back in 2016. This isn’t just another red-carpet rumor - it’s a deep dive into the pain behind closed doors in their once-picture-perfect family life, right here in the City of Angels.

Emotional Fallout and Property Pain

Speaking straight from the heart, Angie didn’t hold back in the filings about how the split tore through her and their six kids. She revealed she handed over control - and full residency - of their family homes in Los Angeles and at their French winery, Chateau Miraval, to Brad without asking for a dime, hoping it’d cool things down after a rough patch.

But the wounds are still fresh. 'To this day, the children and I have never again set foot on the property, given its connection to the painful events leading to the divorce,' Jolie wrote, painting a heartbreaking picture of loss tied to their once-happy homes.

'The events that forced me to separate from my ex-husband were beyond tough for me and our kids,' Jolie shared in the docs. 'I just wanted peace, so I let him have the homes, hoping it’d ease the tension after such a traumatic time.'

Legal Drama Over Miraval and Money Moves

The current court clash isn’t just about feelings - it’s about cold, hard cash and property too. Brad previously dragged Angie to court after she sold her share of Chateau Miraval, the dreamy French winery they scooped up during their marriage. Now, he’s pushing for access to emails between Jolie and her legal team, but she’s clapping back, claiming attorney-client privilege and hitting him with a $33,000 bill for her legal fees.

Angie also got real about the struggle to rebuild after the split. With her savings tied up in Miraval and no alimony or support from Brad, she had to borrow money from him - with interest - to buy a new spot near his LA pad, just to keep the kids close to their dad. Talk about a Malibu-style money mess!

Starting Over Amid Heartache

Post-separation, Jolie was all about her kids’ healing, even stepping away from work for two years to focus on their recovery. 'I was very concerned about the health of our children,' she noted in the docs, showing that mama bear energy we know so well from her humanitarian vibes across SoCal and beyond.

She hunted for a stable home, initially renting while figuring out the next chapter for her family. It’s a relatable grind for anyone who’s had to start over in the pricey LA housing market, but with the added glare of Hollywood paparazzi tracking every move.

A Rocky Road from 2014 to Now

Let’s rewind for the uninitiated: Angie and Brad tied the knot in 2014 after a 12-year romance that had Tinseltown buzzing. But by September 19, 2016, it all crashed down when Jolie filed for divorce following a disturbing incident on a private plane involving their kids. Allegations of abuse surfaced, though she didn’t press charges, and their settlement finally landed last December.

Brad, for his part, played it cool in a GQ chat, shrugging off the finalization as 'just something coming to fruition. Legally.' But Angie’s rare comments - including a 2017 BBC interview where she called it 'a very difficult time' for the whole fam - show the emotional scars run deep.

Family First, Forever

Despite the drama, Jolie’s focus stays locked on her kids and keeping some semblance of family unity. Back in that 2017 convo, she emphasized, 'We are and forever will be a family,' highlighting her mission to navigate the pain in a way that strengthens their bond.

This latest chapter in the Jolie-Pitt saga reminds us that even in the glitzy world of Hollywood, heartbreak and legal battles hit just as hard as they do on any SoCal street. Stick with us as we keep tabs on this unfolding story - because in LA, the drama never sleeps!
