A source closed to Brad claimed at the time that theMaleficentactress was adding “untrue information” to the legal battles.
“It’s incredibly sad that she continues to rehash, revise and reimagine her description of an event that happened 6 years ago, adding in completely untrue information to try to get additional attention for herself at the expense of their family,” the source toldPeople.
“She has resorted to trying to keep rehashing the same thing,” the source added. “Going back to the same thing month after month with new and still false information for purposes that only she can understand.”
