Brad Pitt Ex-Security Claims ... Angie Told Kids to Avoid Him

update

5:49 PM PT -- Angelina's attorney, Paul Murphy, tells TMZ … "Mr. Pitt’s continued attempt to equate common NDAs for security personnel and housekeepers covering confidential information employees learn at work, with him demanding an expanded NDA to ensure the continued coverup of his deplorable actions remains shameful."

He adds, "This case is not about NDAs in general, but about power and control. All Angelina has ever wanted was separation and health, with positive relationships between all members of their family, including Mr. Pitt. She looks forward to the day when he is finally able to let her go."

Sources familiar with the situation claim Webb is on Brad's payroll and worked for the same security team whose other members stood on the Tarmac in L.A. and turned a blind eye to Brad's actions that day. The sources further claim Webb’s declaration also conveniently leaves out the fact that the second security guard mentioned in the declaration, though called to testify by Pitt, testified in favor of Angelina, not against her.

Angelina Jolie told her and Brad Pitt's children to avoid him like the plague during custody visits post-split -- so claims a guy who used to run security for them for years.

Brad's attorneys filed new legal docs Thursday in their ongoing winery case -- and they offer up a sworn declaration written by a man named Tony Webb ... who says he used to head up a security company that offered services to Brangelina while they were married.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Webb claims that in the aftermath of their divorce in 2016 -- and all the custody disputes that followed over their 6 shared children together -- he'd been hit up by Angie's personal assistant, who he says told him he heard 2 of Webb's security officers still working AJ's detail at that point, were going to testify in family court.

The comedian did a sold out show this week at the Hollywood Bowl, where he was hop-scotching through material and touching on some polarizing topics ... like trans jokes, etc. While he was going, he reportedly said he wasn't afraid of backlash anymore, noting it washes away.

MR is said to have been going back and forth on things that were okay and weren't okay to talk about in public and is quoted as saying, "What am I gonna do? Get canceled? Cool, I’ll do another Bowl show, awesome."
