Host Michele Locke—a seasoned divorce attorney and former court judge—explores the contentious divorce and custody battle between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Michele dives deep into their highly publicized and bitter split, tracing their whirlwind romance sparked by rumors of an affair during the filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and examining the serious allegations of abuse, fierce legal battles over child custody and support, and complex disputes involving their joint winery. Michele unravels this eight-year saga filled with legal tactics, court rulings, and claims of parental alienation. Alongside executive producer and victim advocate Jake Deptula, she investigates how tabloid coverage shaped public perception and the emotional toll this high-profile conflict took on everyone involved.
