Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has accused her former husband and actor Brad Pitt of domestic violence and has filed documents in the court stating that she shall provide 'proof and authority' to back her claims.

The documents also mention that Jolie and Pitt's children have agreed to provide testimony on the latter's alleged violence. However, Us Weekly quoted a source as saying, "Over the past four and a half years there have been a number of claims made by Angelina that have been reviewed and not substantiated. The children have been used by Angelina to hurt Brad before and this is more of that behavior. This leaking of documents by her fourth or fifth set of lawyers has been done to hurt Brad." Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt started dating after meeting on the sets of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004. They separated in 2016 after 2 years of marriage, although their divorce has not been finalized yet. Angelina had cited irreconcilable differences as the cause for their split.

Meanwhile, ET quoted a source as saying, "This is just another case of Angelina changing the narrative when it suits her. Aside from the one accusation that she made in 2016 that was investigated and dismissed, there have never been any other records, police reports or even accusations until it suited her case." Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt share six children - Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, and Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 12 - together.
