Marriage is something very important to many people, and it can be a struggle to keep going strong or keep healthy after some time. When that falls apart many couples face divorce or separation which is heavily difficult to handle. However, when that is additionally stressed by other struggles, drama, or heavy public attention; a divorce can become even more ugly and hard for those involved. To get a better idea of that, here are some of Hollywood’s ugliest divorces that can give you an inside look into this topic.
Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie
This couple lasts through two years of marriage before Angelina filed for divorce in September 2016. The filing followed accusations of child abuse against Pitt over an incident on a jet with their son Maddox. This divorce was particularly ugly due to the long custody battle that followed it and took two whole years to find an agreement on. The two were battling for custody over their six children and didn’t come to any agreement until November of 2018.
