Although Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's children have begged them to stop fighting, the couple's court battles have continued. Reportedly, the Inglourious Basterds actor wants to stop fighting with Jolie, so he can begin to reconcile and spend time with all of his children.
However, the Seven actor seems worried their mother, Angelina Jolie, might interfere with the situation so that their children are closer to her. According to sources Pitt is worried since Jolie hired their youngest daughter, Vivienne, to be her assistant, one inside source told Life and Style Magazine, "he thinks this is just another attempt by Angie to drive a wedge between him and his daughter."
The insider added, "It's no secret that Angie's always trying to make sure the kids are Team Mom. She's a master manipulator when it comes to the children taking sides. The situation has started a whole new war between Brad and Angie."
"Of course Brad is happy that Vivienne's found something she's passionate about, but he's worried he'll lose her in the process." One insider claimed Jolie had a hard time letting go. "The war is far from over, Angie can't help herself. She still wants payback for Brad's part in ruining their marriage."
"Meanwhile, he has been sober and much more clearheaded about where they both went wrong, so he's refusing to back down anymore. He's had enough and won't just roll over and give Angelina what she wants."
"Angie goes through periods of wanting to move on from Brad and live her life and then pure resentment toward him. Brad would have settled things a long time ago, and at this point, he's spent millions on legal fees. They both have. The situation is ridiculous."
When Jolie wanted the judge in their custody trial gone, believing he was "biased in Brad's favor", a source commented that "Brad says Angelina has gone way too far this time. He's left with no other option but to dig in and fight back - hard."
