Angelina Jolie goes solo at the Torino Film Festival after 'using red carpet outings with her and ex-husband Brad Pitt's kids to "get under his skin"'

Angelina Jolie went solo at the Torino Film Festival on Sunday, after being accused of using red carpet outings with her and ex Brad Pitt's kids to 'get under his skin'. The Oscar winner, 49, looked chic in a black sweater and figure-hugging skirt while promoting her directional feature Without Blood at the Italian event. She completed the look with a pair of matching ballet flats and wore her long blonde hair loose over one shoulder. Angelina wrote and directed the anti-war drama which is based on the novel by Italian author Alessandro Baricco. Salma Hayek, 58, leads the cast as Nina who witnesses as a young girl the carnage inflicted by her father’s enemies on her father and brother. Angelina and her son Knox Jolie-Pitt walking arm in arm at the Governors Awards was 'odd' to Brad Pitt, according to insiders who accused the actress of using outings with her children to 'get under her ex-husband's skin'. Last week saw the pair enjoy a rare public mother-and-son date with the toast of Hollywood at the star-studded bash at the Ray Dolby Ballroom. Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, a source revealed that her ex-husband Brad found the timing of the outing 'suspicious' amid their ongoing divorce battle. 'Brad only gets to see his children when they walk on the carpet with their mom and the timing of this could not be any more suspicious considering it was just decided that he and Angie are headed to trial,' the insider noted. DailyMail.com revealed that the former couple are set to face-off in court next year as their long-running legal battle or so-called 'War of the Rosé' heads to trial. The decision came after a judge recently threw out the Wanted actress's motion to dismiss her ex-husband's lawsuit over their French vineyard. The Chateau Miraval estate, which produces an award-winning sparkling rosé, is at the center of a long-running court battle between the pair. eanwhile, Angelina has also been accused of trying to drive a wedge between her estranged husband and their six kids in the aftermath of their split.The source continued: 'She is trying to get under his skin after his recent win and using Knox to do so is odd. 'Knox wants nothing to do with Hollywood and has no communication with Brad.'
The insider added: 'Of course, it bothers him that Angelina has turned them against him. She did this while they were all young and they didn’t even get a chance to make up their minds about him. 'He believes that, in time, his children will come back into his life.' Elsewhere, a source close to Angelina insisted that it was Knox's choice to support his mother at the event. 'Knox chose to attend the awards with his mom, and they had a nice mother-son evening,' the insider noted. 'Their decision to attend together did not have anything to do with Brad,' the insider added. Notably absent from the outing on Sunday were Knox's siblings — Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and Knox's twin, Vivienne. Back in May, court filings lodged at LA Superior Court revealed that a former bodyguard for the couple was informed by his own contractors that Angelina was pushing for her children to avoid Pitt when she had custody of them. Former British SAS solider Tony Webb worked for the family for more than 20 years, starting in 2000, and claimed that his colleague told him he overheard Angelina 'encouraging the children to avoid spending time with Pitt during custody visits.' Documents detailing the explosive claims were made public as part of the ongoing 'War of the Roses', with the A-List couple stuck in an acrimonious battle over her rights to sell their French vineyard and home.The Tomb Raider star sold her $62million stake to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler in 2021, which Brad argues went against their agreement to offer the other the right of first refusal. Angelina had recently filed motions to dismiss claims that Brad made against her concerning a verbal agreement over their 50-50 ownership of the vineyard. She argued that the agreement had been nullified after her ex requested she sign an NDA regarding their marriage – with both sides seemingly determined to throw everything at the case.'It's already been ugly but it's going to get even uglier as Angie is bent on retaliating against Brad and will try to continue to settle more old personal scores,' an insider close to the case told DailyMail.com. And it's only going to get more expensive for the pair – with their legal wrangling already costing both sides millions.The newest twist in the acrimonious lawsuit saw seen LA Superior Court Judge Lia Martin throw out the motions - putting Brad firmly back in the driving seat of the dispute. Court filings submitted last week suggest that the judge has found a basis in Brad's claims that their original verbal agreement was binding, and Jolie may have violated them when she sold her shares. With the dismissal of the three filings, the former power couple - who wed at the Provence, Southern France estate in 2014 and split in 2016 – are set to face off in court at the trial next year. A source close to the actor told DailyMail.com: 'This is a straightforward business dispute, but unfortunately, the other side has consistently introduced personal elements which have exposed the weaknesses in their case and complicated and lengthened the proceedings.' The Maleficent star will have 30 days to appeal the judge's decision.

Speaking to WSJ. magazine, she said: 'Pablo (Larraín, director) expected me to learn, to really sing… to understand and study opera, to immerse completely and do the work. 'But it was much more than that, it was to understand Maria Callas and be able to play the character. 'I had no idea how much I was holding in and not letting out. So, the challenge wasn't the technical, it was an emotional experience to find my voice, to be in my body, to express. 'You have to give every single part of yourself... everything that you've got.' Angelina spent 'months' working on her vocals. She previously said at the Telluride Film Festival: 'I had seven months of opera classes, great teachers and Italian classes, and a supportive team that were going to help me.'
