Divorce Scandal: How Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Fooled Everybody

While the actor was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing—and the court of public opinion didn’t judge him particularly harshly, either—his successful bid to get their divorce proceedings sealed was accompanied by Jolie’s claim that Pitt was actually “terrified that the public will learn the truth.”

So dramatic! So mysterious!

Moreover, the recently tense relationship between the Fury star and son Maddox seemed to be thawing since the 15-year-old initially didn’t join his siblings on a visit with their dad in the first month after their mom filed for divorce on Sept. 19.

And then there was Jolie’s return to the spotlight, when she took the whole brood to Cambodia last month for the premiere of her latest directorial effort, the documentary First They Killed My Father (on which Maddox worked with his mom studying the history of his birth country)—an indicator that in the end she didn’t want this divorce drama to fly out of her control any more than Pitt did.

“Of course, of course,” she replied, shaking her head slightly. “We will always be a family, always.”

“They were with Angelina for probably 75 percent of the time when Brad was in the country and they’d go back and forth between her and Brad,” a source said.

Last week E! News learned that tensions had eased between Jolie and Pitt and they were, in fact, talking again rather than communicating solely via lawyers and intermediaries.

“Brad hopes that they can be successful at co-parenting and get to a place where they can be friendly,” a source close to Pitt told us. “They both have agreed to put the kids first.”
