Angelina Jolie criticizes ‘liars’ in a new interview as her divorce from Brad Pitt reaches its end after a lengthy eight-year legal battle.
The former couple first met on the film set of Mr and Mrs Smith in 2003 before becoming official in 2005.
Jolie and Pitt have six children together and, in 2014, the couple got married after being in a relationship for almost a decade.
However, in 2016, the Wanted actor filed for divorce from the Fight Club star, 61, citing irreconcilable differences.

After an eight years in court, the exes officially signed off on their divorce on Monday (December 30) and reached a settlement.
Jolie's divorce attorney, James Simon, said in a statement (via Sky News) that Jolie was 'exhausted' by the situation, adding: "More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr Pitt.
"She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family. This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago.
"Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over."
No court documents have been filed and a judge will have to sign off on the agreement, Sky News also reported.
In 2024, Jolie made her return to acting with her film, Maria, where she portrays opera singer, Maria Callas, which made it's debut at the Venice International Film Festival before being released in cinemas later that year to critical acclaim.
Following it's release, the 49-year-old opened up in her cover story for W Magazine, where she described 'liars' as being one of her biggest 'pet peeves'.
Without going into specifics, the Oscar winner said: "My pet peeve is somebody who is a liar. Somebody who feels a need to not say the truth or what they want, what they feel.
"There's a big version of that - and I'm not trying to be heavy about it - but people who say one thing and mean another, who aren't completely who they are.
"I think a lot of people don't say what they mean.”
While the two have settled their divorce proceedings, they are still embroiled in a row over their shared $25 million winery business in the south of France.
In 2022, Pitt claimed Jolie had broken ‘contractural rights’ by selling her half of Château Miraval without his knowledge to a Russian oligarch, the BBC reported at the time.
Countering the claim, Jolie claimed that she had attempted to discuss the sale with Pitt, but that he allegedly wanted her to 'sign a nondisclosure agreement'.
Her countersue also accused Pitt of 'waging a vindictive war' against Jolie, PEOPLE reported.
