Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Divorce 2016: Actor Asking Friends Not To 'Bad Mouth' Soon To Be Ex-Wife? [VIDEO]
They may only be getting started when it comes to what has so far looked to be a nasty divorce, but even if things appear to get really bad during the proceedings, Brad Pitt doesn't want to hear any negative comments about his soon-to-be ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
According to Entertainment Tonight, despite what has appeared to be a lot of negative press regarding him as the split story continues to unfold, Pitt has nothing bad to say about Jolie, and is refusing to say anything negative about her because he thinks she's a great mom to their six children-Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and Knox and Vivienne, 8.
"He will only say positive things about [the] mother [of his children,]" a source said. "He has also made it clear to friends to not say anything negative about her. He continues to hope that there is an amicable resolution in the interest of the kids."
Since news broke of Jolie's filing on Tuesday, several stories have emerged regarding the reason for the divorce, with false reports of Pitt having an affair with Marion Cottilard on the set of their film Allied quickly being refuted. There were also reports that Jolie disagreed with how Pitt handled raising their children, and that she was concerned about anger issues, his usage of pot, and allegedly alcohol as well.
Since then, the split has evolved into one that was somewhat prompted by an alleged incident that happened on a family flight home from Europe last week, which saw an altercation between Pitt, Jolie, and Maddox, with initial reports claiming that Pitt had put his hands on his son, and prompted a child abuse investigation. However, since then, it has been revealed that video may reveal that there was no physical altercation and Pitt isn't expected to face any charges.
"There was no inappropriate physical contact. Nothing inappropriate happened," a source said.
In her filing, Jolie askes for full custody of the couple's children with Pitt being allowed visitation, though he is expected to challenge that in court for shared custody rights.
