Angelina Jolie Calls Liars Her ‘Pet Peeve’ After Brad Pitt Divorce

Angelina Jolie is officially divorced and she's holding nothing back.

Days after her split from ex-husband Brad Pitt was finalized, Jolie, 49, sounded off about her pet peeves in a cover story for W Magazine.

"My pet peeve is somebody who is a liar," she said in a story that ran on Friday, January 3.

"Somebody who feels a need to not say the truth or what they want, what they feel," she continued. "There’s a big version of that - and I’m not trying to be heavy about it - but people who say one thing and mean another, who aren’t completely who they are. I think a lot of people don’t say what they mean."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's Ups and Downs Through the Years

Though she didn't say who she was talking about specifically, Jolie and Pitt, 61, have been embroiled in an eight-year-long divorce battle since the actress filed for divorce in 2016, two years after they married.

While Jolie's comments left room for interpretation, the Maleficent actress has been careful not to "speak ill" of Pitt directly, publicly or privately.

"She's been trying hard to be light after a dark time," a source explained to Us in December.

Among their issues was ownership over their $164 million French estate and winery, Miraval, and custody over the couple's six kids, Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Shiloh, 18, Zahara, 19, and 15-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

How Brad Pitt Feels About Angelina Jolie's Abuse Allegations

"More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family," Jolie's lawyer James Simon told Us in a statement. "This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over."

A rep for Pitt declined to confirm or comment on the settlement.

Meanwhile a rep for Jolie said at the time that her decision to file for divorce was "for the health of the family." Pitt was also investigated in 2016 for child abuse after an incident on a plane involving Maddox. He was eventually cleared.

Pitt, meanwhile, has been in a relationship since 2022 with Ines de Ramon, who encouraged him to find peace with his ex wife. Jolie has kept her dating life private in recent years, with another insider telling Us in October that she "remains focused on her family and is not dating at this time."
