Brad Pitt Speaks Out and He's 'Furious' Angelina Has Portayed Him as a Bad Father

Brad Pitt is now 'furious' at Angelina Jolie for filing for divorce, a move he says could put their kids at risk.

Sources close to Pitt told TMZ that the actor is angry at Jolie for allegedly spinning stories about him being a potential risk to their kids because of anger issues and substance abuse, the Daily Mail reports.

Over the last few days, Pitt has had conversations with Jolie pleading for her to handle the divorce "like adults", sources told the site.

He wanted to keep the divorce under wraps for the benefit of their children, but instead, he says, Jolie has painted him as a risky dad and asked for sole physical custody.

In Brad Pitt's official statement to PEOPLE he said: 

"I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids.

"I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time."

"I think when a couple faces a difficult trial in life together, whatever that may be, it either tears you apart or brings you together."

The couple, who have been married for two years, but have been together for 12 years, met on the set of Mr and Mrs. Smith.

They have six children altogether - Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, eight. Pax, Maddox and Zahara have been adopted by Pitt and Jolie over the years.
