BRAD PITT HAS accused Angelina Jolie of compromising their children’s privacy and is asking a judge to seal details about them emerging from the couple’s divorce, court papers show.
The 52-year-old star’s lawyers claim his estranged wife is showing little regard for the welfare of their three boys and three girls, as her attorneys try to make him look bad, according to a motion filed in a Los Angeles court.
Pitt’s legal team argues that Jolie has already violated an agreement to protect the privacy of the children — who range from age eight to 15 — by making public the names of family therapists.
The lawyers accuse Jolie, 41, of “attempting to clear the way to put in the public eye any allegations she can” without regard to the impact on the children.
Jolie filed for divorce in September, citing irreconcilable differences, and is seeking sole custody of the children.
Pitt was cleared by the FBI and social workers over allegations that he struck one of his children during a flight that month from France to Los Angeles.
Custody
Pitt is seeking joint legal and physical custody.
He has been granted visits supervised by a therapist as part of a temporary custody agreement.
Under the deal Jolie has physical custody of the children — three of whom are adopted — at a rented LA house.
The A-listers — given the celebrity moniker Brangelina — wed in France in August two years ago, but had been a couple since 2004.
A hearing on Pitt’s motion is scheduled for 17 January.

What bullshit! He has to have supervised visits with a therapist there? Angelina must be an absolute nutjob to request that. All too often men are demeaned in front of their kids when ever there is a divorce. You never here if it happening the other way round .
Nothing really to be gained by doing this…lawyers could work out custody arrangements if they really wanted to sort it. Smacks of publicity grabbing…
Hell has no fury….
This is like Trump – Clinton all over again…
Not really
FBI & Social workers called in because he may have smacked his own child. FFS I give up. No wonder so many kids seem to have no boundaries or respect.
Do you think it’s ok for parents to physically assault their kids?
Does anybody ask or care what the children want ?
I like cake.
have your say
