Brad Pitt furious with Angelina Jolie for 'unleashing hell'

It has been reported that Brad Pitt is furious with his estranged wife Angelina Jolie after she applied for a divorce on Monday.

The 52-year-old actor is apparently raging that the Tomb Raider star filed to end their two year marriage under grounds he is a bad parent to their six children Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, eight, and he’s worried she’s turned their world upside down, after a hoard of paparazzi gathered outside their Hollywood Hills home when news broke yesterday.

According to TMZ, the World War Z actor said: “She’s just unleashed hell.”

Los Angeles police are believed to be patrolling the area around their home at regular intervals.

Angelina’s decision to dissolve their marriage, 12 years after they controversially fell in love on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith, was sparked by an incident that reportedly took place last week involving Brad and the children.

An insider said: “The final divorce decision was only made one week ago. An incident took place and prompted Angelina to act and file.”

Brad is “saddened” by her actions and releasd a statement soon after the news broke and begged for privacy for the sake of their kids, saying: “I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the wellbeing of our kids.

“I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time.”

Though it’s likely the couple have been building up to a split for some time, it’s understood that the actor found out his wife had applied to dissolve their marriage on Monday.

Meanwhile, Angelina has hired famous attorney Laura Wasser, who counselled her during her divorce from Billy-Bob Thornton and who recently represented Johnny Depp in his split from Amber Heard.

Laura is dubbed the “Disso Queen” by US media, referring to her skills in the dissolution of marriage.
