Angelina Jolie Allegedly Recorded Brad Pitt Secretly To 'Get Back At Him' Amid Abuse Allegations: Report
Angelina Jolie is allegedly willing to do everything to bring her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, down, according to a report.
Jolie, 48, and Pitt, 60, separated in 2016 after an altercation on a plane during a trip from France to Los Angeles. Nearly eight years later, the exes are still embroiled in a nasty legal battle, and the "Maleficent" star is allegedly willing to release her secret tapes of Pitt and expose his bad behavior.
"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," an unnamed source told In Touch.
However, the source made it clear that the tapes could be damaging to both Pitt and his ex-wife.
"It will do as much damage -- if not more -- to Angie if they're made public," the source said, noting that both would be destroyed "if people saw how they behaved behind closed doors. They were as bad as each other."

The source also claimed that Jolie would occasionally leak stories to the press when she felt that things were not going well on her way against Pitt. Enstarz could not independently verify these claims.
A second insider claimed that the battle between the exes was far from over because she's allegedly determined to bring him down even after he dropped his pursuit of shared custody of their kids. Pitt had initially sought a 50/50 arrangement with their children.
However, in March, he eventually decided to give Jolie the primary physical custody and settled for visitation rights, the Daily Mail reported. Pitt and Jolie share six children -- Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and 15-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
"Brad dropped his custody case because he realized it was futile," the second insider claimed. "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."
Earlier this month, Jolie claimed in her new filing that there were more instances of abuse aside from the incident on the plane. She also alleged that Pitt would not allow her to sell her share in their winery business unless she agreed to sign a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) that favored Pitt.
The "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" actor fired back and filed a motion asking Jolie to disclose her other NDAs as he wanted to know if she had silenced her staff.
Meanwhile, as Jolie and Pitt's legal battle continued to heat up, another unnamed source claimed their eldest biological child, Shiloh, wanted them to be civil. The teenager "just waants her family to be whole and happy again," according to the insider.
