A pal of Brad Pitt just came forward with a pretty shocking claim against Angelina Jolie, and it might expose what the ‘worst part’ of his 10-year ordeal has been, since his divorce and the subsequent alienation he experienced at the hands of his kids.

The pal, who wishes to remain anonymous, brought this to light in a chat with Closer.

According t their findings the present is better than the past because Pitt “worked really hard on himself”. To the point where “he’s now, finally, in a really good place.”

They also admit, “Brad lost his way for a period in his life and he struggled but he did the work and came through. The divorce from Angelina was bad but the alienation from his children was the worst thing that ever happened to him.”

It was shortly after that Jolie became the main topic of conversation because in the eyes of this pal, the current issue isn’t the ongoing rift, but the fact that, Angelina’s side allegedly “keeps making the point that nobody knows the full truth about what the kids went through.”

Moreover, while “Ange gets very defensive when people suggest that she or the kids might be gearing up to tell their side of the story.” Brad “is convinced she’s baiting him and essentially making veiled threats that he was this monster back in the day.”

Near the end the pal also admitted, “he doesn’t deny that but feels the way he’s still being punished is totally disproportionate and unfair. He thinks that everyone – the kids included – need to move past the negativity and find a way to get along.”

Before actually concluding they said, “now he’s gone from hurt and pain to acceptance. Pitt never had a drinking problem, he had an Angelina problem.”
