"While living with Brad Pitt, my whole family was terrified."
Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has spoken out about her divorce from actress Brad Pitt.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had an interview with the British Guardian on the 4th local time in an interview related to her book 'Know Your Rights'.
"I was terrified while living with Brad Pitt," Jolie said.
It was particularly shocking when he claimed that during his marriage Brad Pitt tried to work with Harvey Weinstein, a sex offender who sparked the 'Me Too' movement, Hollywood film director and film producer.
In October 2017, when the #MeToo movement took place, Jolie confessed that she was also a victim, saying, "During the promotion of the 1988 movie 'Flying by Heart,' Harvey Weinstein tried to make unwanted physical contact in a hotel room."
"My experience with Harvey Weinstein was terrible," Jolie said at the time.
But Brad Pitt knew who Harvey Weinstein was and wanted to work with him, Jolie said.
Jolie claims that Brad Pitt approached him to join as producer of 'Killing Me Softly' distributed by Harvey Weinstein's company, which caused the couple to split.
"It was very heartbreaking," Jolie said. "Brad Pitt knew who Harvey Weinstein was, but was delighted to be working with him."
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, known as the 'Brangelina' couple, started dating in 2005 and got married in 2014.
However, in 2016, after two years of marriage, Jolie filed for divorce, and as the lawsuit was completed in 2019, they became legally husband and wife, but they are still arguing over custody of their children.
This is a 'news pick'.
