Angelina Jolie has recently been navigating personal grief amid her longstanding legal battle with Brad Pitt.

The Wanted star feels devastated after the death of her uncle Chip Taylor as she’s already going through difficult period due to her extended dispute with former husband Brad over their French winery Château Miraval.

A source close to the actress told Radar Online, “Angelina is deeply affected by Chip's passing; it has hit her at a time when she is already under immense emotional strain.”

The insider mentioned that the actress “lost a family member like this would be difficult under any circumstances, but coming in the middle of an ongoing legal battle has made it even harder for her to process”.

However, another source added that the Tomb Raider actress wants to hold everything together, but “there is a sense that the weight of everything happening at once has been overwhelming”.

Meanwhile, Angelina wanted to relocate from America to spend time on her humanitarian work abroad.

“The situation with Brad is still very much active and demanding her attention, with legal teams continuing to argue over financial records and the terms of the original agreement surrounding the winery,” explained the source.

Some other insider noted, “She is dealing with grief, and those close to her say it has left her feeling emotionally drained.”

Meanwhile, a tipster added that Angelina has been “navigating a very complex and emotionally charged situation for some time now, and the loss of Chip has only added to that burden”.

“She is doing her best to stay focused, but it is clear this has been an incredibly difficult period for her,” added the insider.
