ANGELINA Jolie has furiously slammed court documents revealing she could lose custody of her kids if she does not allow Brad Pitt better access as a “misleading leak”.

Her spokesman hit out at the “inaccurate and unfair picture” of the truth as she battles over access to their six children, The Sun reports.

It comes after reports Jolie, 43, was told by a judge to help Pitt, 54, repair his relationship with the kids.

In a statement, her spokesman said: “This misleading leak is not in the best interests of the children.

“From the start, Angelina has been focused only on their health and needs, which is why it was so important that this last court hearing be conducted privately.

“It’s deplorable that someone, for their own selfish reasons, leaked selective portions of the confidential and sealed court record to create an inaccurate and unfair picture of what is really happening.”

Reports claimed Jolie had limited Pitt’s access to Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and nine-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne since she filed for divorce in 2016.

But in the court documents, a judge said not having a relationship with him was “harmful” to the children.

The court said Jolie had to give Pitt mobile phone numbers for each child, while it has also arranged a schedule allowing Pitt to see his kids for increasing amounts of time throughout the summer.
