According to sources close to Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie is taking advantage of her children to attract public attention, especially when her new movie is about to hit theaters.

Over the past few weeks, Angelina Jolie and her children have been “covered” all over the newspapers in a series of promotional events for Marvel’s latest superhero movie “Eternals”.

At movie premieres in the US, Italy and UK, the 46-year-old woman and her children (except Pax Thien) always became the focus on the red carpet. Her two daughters, Shiloh and Zahara, received as much media attention as Angelina by re-wearing the outfits their mother was famous for years ago.

When participating in the interview, the mother of 6 children focused on sharing about motherhood, ignoring questions about her friendship with The Weeknd.

At the beginning of this year, pictures of Angelina Jolie’s happy, picturesque family at the $25 million villa purchased by the 7x star in 2017 appeared in British Vogue magazine.

According to the New York Post , the “Salt” star is truly a master at attracting the attention of the media and the public. However, Angelina’s approach annoys Brad Pitt because, except for Maddox, who is already an adult, the remaining children are all minors and should not be exposed too much.

“Angelina is taking advantage of the children. It’s hard to accept that constantly parading children in public is in their best interests. Brad Pitt never takes his children out publicly. He also rarely mentions them,” a source close to Brad Pitt shared with the New York Post .

Brad Pitt’s side accused Angelina of taking advantage of her children to promote her new movie.

In response to this allegation, a source who knows Angelina countered that the Jolie-Pitt children are all very independent and thoughtful. “They won’t do things they don’t want to do,” the source emphasized.

While Angelina is promoting her new movie in London, back home in California, the legal battle over child custody between her and her ex-husband is still intense.

Last week, the California Supreme Court refused to consider the “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” actor’s appeal of a lower court’s decision to disqualify Judge John Ouderkirk, who once handled marriage and divorce proceedings. kissed the star couple “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”, because of suspicions of a relationship of interest between him and Brad Pitt.

The above ruling brings the child custody dispute that has been persistent for the past 5 years back to the starting line. In particular, Angelina has custody of 5 children (except Maddox, who is an adult), while Brad only gets visitation.

Sources close to Brad Pitt affirmed that the above ruling cannot change the fact that all experts and therapists support the actor having more time with his children.

Referring to previous allegations of domestic violence, the source said that Brad sometimes did not know how to handle situations tactfully, but he went through investigations and was determined to be innocent and had no criminal record. Which version prohibits him from contacting the children?

According to the source, if Brad Pitt really abused the children, there is no reason for Angelina to accept that investigation conclusion or ignore the accusations so easily.

A representative for Brad Pitt told Page Six , the court of appeals ruling and the Supreme Court’s decision not to reconsider Brad Pitt’s appeal are not based on factual evidence, nor are they in the best interest. for the Jolie-Pitt children.

Meanwhile, Jolie’s attorney, Robert Olson, stated: “Ms. Jolie is focused on her family and is satisfied that the well-being of her children has not been affected by unethical behavior.”

A source who knows Angelina Jolie said that during a year and a half of staying home with her children because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 46-year-old star realized that the situation of domestic violence in America is very serious. Based on personal experience, the “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” beauty realized that the court system does not take into account the comprehensive needs of children.

Therefore, Angelina actively uses her influence to support women and children who are the main victims of domestic violence in America.

Specifically, in September, she went to the White House to discuss the Violence Against Women Act. The same month, she met with former athletes who were sexually abused by USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar. In addition, she also worked with human rights lawyer Geraldine Van Bueren to write the book “Know Your Rights and Claim Them A Guide For Youth” to guide children with the knowledge to fight crime. safely address injustices.

Besides acting, Angelina actively participates in activities to protect women and children from domestic violence.
