Ange told kids to shun dad Brad...

Bodyguard's shock claim in court

- LAURA ARMSTRONG

ANGELINA Jolie encouraged her children to give Brad Pitt the cold shoulder on custody visits, a US court has heard.

A former bodyguard says he heard the A-lister, 48, discouraging the couple's six children from spending time with their father, as part of a legal battle over the future of the winery they owned together.

Ex-SAS soldier Tony Webb, who ran SRS Global Security Ltd, said he heard a colleague, Ross Foster, making the allegation as he prepared to give evidence in a family court case after the couple's 2016 split.
