  • Brad Pitt exits medical centre in wheelchair post-dentist visit

    By ANI
    WASHINGTON: American actor Brad Pitt was photographed exiting a Beverly Hills medical centre in a wheelchair Wednesday (local time), following a reported dental appointment.

    According to Page Six, the 57-year-old star was spotted riding a wheelchair along by a bodyguard, clad in a black hoodie and grey jeans.

    The ‘Once Upon A Time in Hollywood’ star sported an oversized pair of sunglasses over his mask, with a set of white sneakers to complete the look. Pitt was likely confined to the wheelchair per the longstanding policy by hospitals to avoid liability should a patient injure themselves exiting a facility quote-unquote under their own power.

    However, there is no information about – what procedure Pitt would have been undergoing.

    As per Page Six, Pitt was recently revealed — along with Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Halle Berry and Reese Witherspoon, among others — as a member of the ensemble roster, the Academy Awards tapped to present at the April 25 ceremony. It seems that the actor was just having an extra-serious tooth cleaning to prepare.

    One person who’s definitely no longer on a shortlist of hospital pickup contacts is his ex-wife Angelina Jolie. The couple’s protracted split has progressed into one of Hollywood’s ugliest courtroom battles.

    Most recently, a source told Page Six that Pitt was ‘heartbroken’ over an alleged leak by someone in Jolie’s camp that she and the couple’s children are willing to testify to alleged spousal abuse on his part, as part of the custody battle over their six children.

    For the unversed, Pitt was never been arrested or charged for any offense during his marriage to Jolie, nor were there any police reports made.

    The source said, “Brad and his camp has never attacked Angelina. But his camp feels this leak was calculated to sway opinion ahead of the conclusion of their trial.”

    Angelina Jolie filed papers as evidence in the court in support of domestic abuse allegations against her former husband, Brad Pitt.  The Salt actor has filed documents indicating she and her children are willing to offer “proof and authority in support” of their claims against Pitt. Jolie has agreed to provide testimony, along with the “testimony of minor children”, according to a report in US Weekly.

    “If Angelina has more documentation to prove domestic violence towards her or the children, she can submit it as a supplemental offer to prove in trial,” an American family law expert told the publication.“She can say these are the documentation in addition to what she already presented.

    This could mean it’s a more recent instance (of domestic violence), or further documentation related to what was presented before,” the expert added. Furthermore, the report stated that all six of the former couple’s kids could freely speak in court in their divorce hearings. Meanwhile, a source close to Pitt told US Weekly that the filing is merely an attempt to hurt the 57-year-old actor.

    “Over the past four and a half years there have been a number of claims made by Angelina that have been reviewed and not substantiated. The children have been used by Angelina to hurt Brad before and this is more of that behavior. This leaking of documents by her fourth or fifth set of lawyers has been done to hurt Brad,” the source said.
