Angelina Jolie ‘Secretly Recorded’ Ex Brad Pitt Before Their Split — and Is ‘Willing to Use Them’

The war rages on. In yet another legal filing related toAngelina JolieandBrad Pitt‘s yearslong legal battle over their French winery,Château Miraval, theEternalsactress has filed new claims that Pitt wasphysically abusiveto her “well before” the former couple’s much-publicized 2016private plane incident.

In reports from the flight, the actress accused her then-husband of grabbing her by the head and shaking her and pouring beer on her during a violent argument that involved at leastone of their six kids.

It seems like Angelina Jolie has been playing a game of “Tapes on the Edge” with Brad Pitt, secretly recording their heated moments throughout their marriage, and now she’s willing to use them as ammunition in their ongoing legal battles. This revelation comes amid their years-long legal dispute over their French winery, Château Miraval. In Touch Weekly broke the news, and it has since been picked up by various media outlets, including @Right2Equality, @thenews_intl, and @carollemieux.

Angelina’s decision to potentially release these tapes could be seen as a strategic move to support her abuse claims, as she’s reportedly accused Brad of being physically abusive well before their infamous 2016 private plane incident. It appears that the fight for truth and justice in this Hollywood saga has taken a dramatic turn, with both parties seemingly willing to go to great lengths to come out on top.

As the world watches this real-life drama unfold, one can’t help but wonder if the tapes will ever see the light of day, or if this is just another high-stakes game of celebrity poker. In any case, it’s clear that the Jolie-Pitt saga continues to captivate the public’s attention, proving once again that even the most glamorous of Hollywood relationships can be fraught with turmoil.

“While Pitt’s history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well,” reads the new filing.

Sources exclusively tell In Touch Jolie, 48, is out to get Pitt, 60, and is willing to do whatever it takes to bring him down — including, In Touchcan reveal, releasing secret tapes of Pitt allegedly abusing her.

“Angelina secretly recorded Brad many times throughout their marriage and has made it clear to him that she’s willing to use them to get back at him,” says one source, noting that Jolie will occasionally leak stories to the press when she feels things aren’t going her way in their ongoing court battle — or when Pitt appears to be connecting with their kids. (They share Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15.)

Per the source, the Fight Club actor might be willing to call her bluff because of the nature of the fights she allegedly documented. “It will do as much damage — if not more — to Angie if they’re made public,” explains the source, noting that both stars would be destroyed “if people saw how they behaved behind closed doors. They were as bad as each other.”

So the tug-of-war goes on. “Brad dropped his custody case because he realized it was futile,” says a second source. “He hoped it would win him brownie points from Angelina, but he was wrong. He made her life hell, and she’s hell-bent on destroying him.”
