Following a disturbance at the stars’ LA home, Brad prepares to walk away. MATTHEW DENBY reports.
With sirens wailing, two police cars pulled up outside Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s home in a Los Angeles gated community last week, amid a string of reports of screaming rows between the pair. Now Woman’s Day can exclusively reveal Brad has become so despondent over Ange’s insistence on adopting another child, he has had his lawyers draw up a multimillion-dollar separation deal.
Despite their public insistence that everything is fine between them, the couple are under new scrutiny after the mysterious police visit which saw two uniformed officers spend over a quarter of an hour inside their house.
When quizzed by waiting reporters if everything was OK with Brad, one departing officer simply replied, “Yes”.
But well placed sources insist that everything has been far from OK at the stars’ home, with the peace shattered earlier that day by a reported argument so vicious that all those within earshot – including neighbours and domestic staff – were unable to ignore it.
“For the past month they have been arguing over everything,” one local told the UK edition of Grazia magazine. “Brad told Angie that he couldn’t live like that any more, and she flew at him, screaming.”
While there has been no official word on the police visit, law enforcement sources say they did not receive a call from inside the house. Published reports have suggested that it was a worried neighbour who rang for help.
