Angelina Jolie is not satisfied with the decision of the court Brad Pitt joint custody of their children, an insider reveals exclusively in the new edition of Us Weekly.

The 45-year-old Eternals star is “bitterly disappointed” after Judge John Ouderkirk ruled in favor of her ex-husband, 57, earlier this month. “Angelina’s testimony was not believable,” adds the source. “The decision is based on extensive testimony from people who have spent time with the children and from highly respected professionals.”

The former couple, who got engaged in 2012 and tied the knot two years later, have been fighting in court since their split in September 2016. They share six children: Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 15, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 12.

On May 13, the judge issued a preliminary ruling granting the duo joint custody of the children, with the exception of Maddox, who is no longer a minor. Pitt is “pleased” with the decision, says the insider, but Jolie is already planning her next step.

“She will never forgive him,” the source says, adding that she will use “whatever she has” to object to the deal. “She claims it is far from over and still believes that justice will prevail.”

The United Nations special envoy had previously attempted to remove Ouderkirk from the case and alleged in August 2020 that the judge had failed to disclose “ongoing business and professional relationships” with Pitt and his legal team. In May, she also alleged that the judge refused to testify her children.

“Judge Ouderkirk denied Ms. Jolie a fair trial and falsely excluded her evidence relevant to the health, safety and wellbeing of the children, evidence that is crucial to the establishment of her case,” the cast claimed in court documents that filed on May 24th.

In March, a source told us that Maddox had testified against his father and said it was “not very flattering” on the Moneyball actor. “He does not use Pitt as his last name in documents that are not legal, but uses Jolie instead,” added the insider. “Maddox wants to legally change his last name to Jolie, which Angelina says she doesn’t support.”

With the current verdict being preliminary, Pitt knows his ex-wife will try to appeal the decision, “but he’s tired of letting her do the talking,” the first source adds. “He doesn’t wish Angie any harm. His door is open if she wants to be polite. “
