Rumors are circulating that Brad Pitt reportedly has audio recordings which could turn the tides in his custody battle with estranged wife Angelina Jolie.
A source close to the former couple told The Sun the tapes “would be absolutely dynamite” and embarrass the Oscar-winning actress, throwing a wrench into her bid to win primary custody of their six kids.
“Nobody wants to play dirty like that it’s not good for the children but Angelina and her team seem absolutely hell-bent on trying to discredit Brad in order to stop him getting joint custody,” the insider told The Sun.
Whispers of the alleged tapes the content is unknown at this time come on the heels of Brad Pitt’s first public appearance since his split from the “Changeling” star he walked the red carpet Wednesday evening for his upcoming World War II drama “Allied,” alongside co-star Marion Cotillard, who was subject to rumors of an on-set affair with Pitt.
Hours before his public appearance, it was revealed the “Moneyball” actor had been cleared by the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services of all abuse allegations rooted in rumors that Pitt got physical with his 15-year-old son, Maddox aboard the family’s private plane.
“Yes there was an argument on the plane between him and Maddox, but that’s it,” the insider told The Sun. “It’s not abuse. Brad has made it obvious that he wants to come to a mature arrangement and stop throwing dirt at each other.”
Earlier this week, Jolie’s rep shared a statement confirming the former couple reached an agreement regarding the custody of their six children: Madox, Pax, 12, Zahara,11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, both 8 but other sources maintain Pitt still intends to push for joint custody, People reported.
Following her Sept. 19 divorce filing, the 41-year-old mother requested sole physical custody of the kids. Pitt filed his response on Nov. 4, requesting joint custody.
