‘Video footage shows Brad Pitt yelling at Angelina Jolie’ – as it’s revealed he’s been crying over split
A VIDEO apparently showing a “drunk Brad Pitt raging” at estranged wife Angelina Joile has emerged, it is being claimed today.
But in the footage the actor DOESN’T show any physical violence towards Angelina or any of their children, according to reports today.
Insiders have told that Brad, 52, can be seen in the recording “looking drunk” and “yelling” during the confrontation with the 41-year-old actress on board a flight from Europe to LA.
The source told the publication: “Brad is seen yelling a lot during it, but nothing physical.”
We told how Brad got into a fight with adopted 15-year-old son Maddox on a private jet last Wednesday – the same time the video is alleged to have been recorded.
Insiders have since claimed the teenager, originally from Cambodia, was defending his mum when Brad lunged at him.

The news comes as Angelina is said to be blocking the actor from visiting their six children - kids Maddox, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, ten, Knox, eight, and Vivienne, eight - while the FBI continue an investigation into alleged child abuse.
But last night a source close to the family played down the row, telling us: “There was a tense moment on the plane but nothing that came close to anything constituting child abuse.
“Brad is a caring parent but, like many fathers, his relationship with his son can be strained at times. They had started arguing before they were even on the plane and it was tense afterwards.”
Brad is known for being the disciplinarian in the family to balance Angelina’s more liberal parenting methods.
But the pal added: “Brad can be strict, but that’s what kids need sometimes, especially teenagers. He doesn’t want them to grow up as spoilt brats.
“But he spends a lot of time with Maddox, one on one, just hanging out, so none of these claims make practical sense.”
Brad’s ex Elizabeth Daily also said: “He loves those kids so I don’t believe any of that stuff. He always wanted children.”
Meanwhile the World War Z star has reportedly been left devastated by Angelina’s decision to file for divorce.
A source also told US weekly that he has been in tears over the breakdown of their relationship, they said: “He is beside himself and has been crying. He was completely caught off guard."
Sources close to Brad are also worried about his state of mind. An insider added: “Brad is in a mess right now. He isn’t able to see the kids and he is desperately trying to make sure they are OK by calling valued members of his and Angelina’s staff."
“He isn’t worried about his own reputation right now. His complete and utter devastation has come from what his children are going through.”
Members of Angelina’s team have been accused of exaggerating the claims to smear Brad.
A friend of the couple said: “Fame aside, they are a normal family, with two caring parents.
"And it’s sad that some people are continuing a public smear campaign against Brad that only makes things more difficult for the kids and everyone.”
The Sun revealed this week that the pair had called time on their marriage after 14 years together.
Angelina filed for divorce on Monday, ending the couple’s two-year marriage citing irreconcilable differences.
The couple fell in love while filming Mr and Mrs Smith in 2004, and soon become one of Hollywood’s most glamorous couples.
It was originally speculated that she had filed for divorce as Brad had grown close to his Allied co-star Marion Cotillard, 40.
This has been vehemently denied by the Parisian actress, who is currently pregnant with her second child.
We told last week how Brad offered to go into therapy to save his marriage, but a “well placed source” told the paper’s section that there is no turning back for the couple.
There's been much speculation about just why Angelina and Brad have ended their marriage since Angelina's shock move on Monday.
claimed it was not over an affair at all, instead making the incredible accusation that Angelina had become '"fed up" with Brad's consumption of weed and possibly alcohol, and mixed with what she believes is "an anger problem" felt was affecting the children.
She also reportedly became upset over his parenting methods, with the couple differing in their approach to bringing up their six kids.
But a source told TMZ the claims around Pitt's parenting were a "malicious lie", saying "he's a loving and devoted father who has never and would never put his children in any dangerous situation".
The source also said that the father of six wanted to remain a "present father" for the brood.
One person who seems quite pleased to see the famous pair go their separate ways is Brad's ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston.
She reportedly told pals it was "karma" catching up with Angelina, who famously started dating Brad while he was married to her.
The Friends star was married to Brad for five years but their marriage fell apart after he met Angelina on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith.
However, now Jen – who is happily married to Justin Theroux – has had the last laugh and a source close to the star told US Weekly that she “feels sort of satisfied about Brad and Angelina’s split”.
The insider added that Jen, 47, also said: “Yeah, that’s karma for you!”
