Hollywood star Angelina Jolie said she feared for the safety of her family during her marriage to Brad Pitt, reports said on Friday.

In an interview with The Guardian, Jolie was asked whether she feared for her children during the relationship, to which she replied: “Yes, for my family. My whole family.”

However, Jolie admitted she could not talk in depth about her experiences with Pitt due to an ongoing legal situation but confirmed that she was referencing the domestic abuse allegations she made against her ex-husband.

Jolie also called her custody battle with Pitt “horrific” and alleged that he had been “verbally abuse and physical” with their adopted son, Maddox, during a flight on their private plane.

She added: “It doesn’t start with the violation [the plane incident]. It’s so much more complicated than that.” The Maleficent actress stated that Maddox had been “denied a voice in court” due to the US not being signed up to United Nations convention on the rights of the child (UNCRC).

She revealed that she did not make the decision to porce Pitt lightly: “It took a lot for me to be in a position where I felt I had to separate from the father of my children.”

The actress admitted she had been “broken” by her recent porce and experiences but wanted her family to move forward: “All of us, including their dad. I want us to heal and be peaceful. We’ll always be a family.”

On the other hand, the actress shared a rare look at her life with her children after posting sweet photos of Zahara and Shiloh reading books.
