BRAD DIVORCE THE UNTOLD STORY!

INSIDER SPILLS WHAT PITT’S FAMILY REALLY THINKS – AND WHY HE SHOULD NEVER HAVE LEFT JEN

-

BEATEN-DOWN Brad Pitt has been completely destroyed by Hollywood and his poisonous relationsh­ip with Angelina Jolie — and now, his family wishes he’d never left first wife Jennifer Aniston!

That’s the conclusion of an insider close to the Pitts who was stunned and shocked at how much the troubled 54-year-old has changed from the “good Christian young man” who left Springfiel­d,

Mo., in his early 20s.

In an exclusive interview with The National ENQUIRER, Lori Duggan-Heisler, Brad’s former confidant and STILL a close family friend, slammed: “I think Hollywood got its claws into him — he CAN’T be happy now.”

Lori dished on how Brad’s family was “disappoint­ed” with him going to Los

Angeles — not to mention the revelation that he had a drinking problem following his 2016 divorce from Angie.

“He seems to have been taken over by bad habits,” said Lori. “I was shocked.” The trouble began when

Brad met Angie, now 43, on the set of their 2005 movie, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” while

Brad was still married to Jen, now 49 and recently single. After blindsidin­g the “Friends” beauty, the toxic twosome raised six children together: Maddox, 17; Pax,

14; Zahara, 13; Shiloh, 12; and 10-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. And Lori felt Brad was pressured into marrying their mother!

“I think he only married

Angelina because it’s what their children wanted. He probably knew in his heart that he married her for the wrong reasons,” Lori dished. “As a parent you do things for your children that you think are going to make them happy, and it has nothing to do with honesty.”

It was after Brad took up with Angie — who, according to Lori, had a “bizarre” relationsh­ip with ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton — that

Lori noticed he turned his back on religion, much to the upset of his God-fearing parents!

However, she noted, “It’s my understand­ing that over the years his family became more open-minded about [their relationsh­ip] because of their grandchild­ren, [thinking]: ‘This is our son, and we love him.’ ” Still, Lori is angry at how Angie has seemingly used their kids to her advantage in their ongoing divorce and custody war, adding:

“It breaks my heart. Those kids are all over the world, their schooling is tutored — there’s nothing normal about their childhoods.”

But, unlike monster mom Angie, “Jennifer was normal,” Lori recalled. “And around here anything but normal ISN’T good.

“Wouldn’t it be great if he was with Jen today? They seemed to be more likeminded. She’s just so cute, and they seemed to be going down the same path.”
