• Angelina secretly recorded Brad during their marriage to use as evidence of abuse in their legal battle.
• Threat of audio tapes being exposed raises concerns for both Angelina and Brad's public image.
• Brad dropped custody battle after kids reportedly asked him to, despite tensions with Angelina and children.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s legal battle recently concluded, or so it seems, even though they broke up in 2016 following an alleged incident on a private jet. But Angelina may have been planning to leave her husband for some time, as she apparently recorded some of their arguments to later use in court as evidence before making her divorce filing.

The Maleficent actress recently submitted paperwork to the court accusing Brad of being physically and verbally abusive towards their family long before the 2016 incident that was widely regarded as the catalyst for the couple’s break-up.

Angelina Reportedly Worries The Tapes Could Harm Her Reputation, Too

“Pitt’s history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well,” her new filing reads.

The actress is apparently willing to provide further evidence other than just her testimony corroborating her claims, specifically in the form of audio tapes. Speaking to In Touch, a source claims Angie is thinking of submitting the tapes to the court to further her argument, and Brad is fully aware.

“Angelina secretly recorded Brad many times throughout their marriage and has made it clear to him that she’s willing to use them to get back at him,” the source explained.

Angelina Jolie has captivated audiences with her talent and beauty since the 1980s, it's no wonder she stars in a huge list of profitable films.

However, what’s allegedly kept Angelina from releasing them already is how the tapes will paint her, as the source explains both she and Brad will look bad if they’re exposed publicly.

“It will do as much damage — if not more — to Angie if they’re made public,” they explained. “If people saw how they behaved behind closed doors. They were as bad as each other.”

Why Brad Reportedly Gave Up Fighting Angelina For Custody

Up until recently, Brad and Angelina were still fighting over custody of their minor children. However, it’s been reported Brad gave up the fight by accepting a custody arrangement that wasn’t completely what he hoped for. His decision comes after their kids allegedly begged Angelina and Brad to quit the case, amid reports Angie was determined to keep fighting for as long as it took.

“Brad dropped his custody case because he realized it was futile,” another source told In Touch. “He hoped it would win him brownie points from Angelina, but he was wrong. He made her life hell, and she’s hell-bent on destroying him.”

Brad has been on tenuous terms with his kids, as evidenced by an Instagram post written on a past Father’s Day by his son Pax, which slams Brad for being a poor father. His daughter Zahara further fueled theories when she seemingly dropped Brad’s last name in favor of using just her mom’s surname when she started attending college.

Nevertheless, it was recently revealed that Brad’s daughter Shiloh has requested to live with him, even though not all of her siblings have been supportive, and she hopes to get career guidance from him.

There have also been reports that Brad is hoping to start a family with his girlfriend Ines De Ramon, even though not everyone in his life (including George Clooney’s wife Amal Clooney) are fans of Ines, especially given her complicated divorce from Paul Wesley, which was only recently finalized. However, Brad’s been keeping his personal life on the down low in recent years, leaving fans with little information about his real-life dynamic with Ines.
