Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt Divorce 2018: Rumors Due to Drama over Kids

Brangelina's breakup over what Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie call "irreconcilable differences" may have been heartbreaking to a lot of the ex-couple's fans. But even with such shocking news, the couple has always been congenial about each other regarding the state of their previous relationship, with Jolie even talking about Pitt as a wonderful father on multiple occasions after their divorce.

Lately, a rumor has been circling that Angelina Jolie has been using a "Dirt Diary" on Brad Pitt as revenge for all sorts of reasons the internet can come up with.

This recent unearthing of “Bad Brad” stories may be related to the recent news that Angelina Jolie had received a court order increasing the scope of Brad Pitt's custody of his and Jolie's children.

CNN reports that Jolie has been required to tell their children that "(the) court has determined that not having a relationship with their father is harmful to them," that they are "safe with their father," and that having a healthy relationship with both parents is "critical."

The order also includes unrestricted phone access to the kids for Pitt, and a shared custody schedule for the kids, which will allow them to experience London and Los Angeles with either parent during the summer.

CNN also reports that the court documents include a modification in the custody arrangement wherein if Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's children start to become estranged from him, the court can modify the custody arrangements further by shifting more primary physical custody to Pitt.

As heartbreaking as the news regarding the need to arbitrate the custody of Brangelina's children is, the dirty diary rumor does not help but paint Brad Pitt as a bad parent, and Angelina Jolie indirectly as a vindictive ex-wife should she be connected to the rumor's proliferation.
