Brad Pitt finally opens up about his bitter divorce with Angelina Jolie

About an hour before touching down at Minnesota's Falls International Airport to refuel, Jolie had asked Pitt to "sober up."

It was reported before that workers at Minnesota Falls airport could hear arguing from the plane before the doors opened.

Pitt also drove around the tarmac in a fuel truck and at one point, and backed up and crashed into another airport vehicle.

Once they got back in the jet, things got worse and that's when the couple's son Maddox intervened his parents' argument.

As the plane came in for a landing, Jolie texted a travel coordinator to hire extra cars to ferry her and their six children to a hotel in an attempt to diffuse the situation with Pitt. She said they could talk about everything in the morning," US Magazine quoted a source as saying.

But once they touched down in Los Angeles., the children "piled into the cars Angie pointed them to and locked the doors", while Pitt took a separate vehicle and travelled to an undisclosed location without his family, the source claimed.

Pitt, recently talked about his divorce for the first time to GQ Style. He said he has quit drinking, replacing alcohol with cranberry juice and fizzy water.

He has also been evaluating his life.

“For me, this period has really been about looking at my weaknesses and failures and owning my side of the street. I’m an assh**e when it comes to this need for justice. I don’t know where it comes from, this hollow quest for justice for some perceived slight. I can drill on that for days and years. It’s done me no good whatsoever," said the Troy star.
