Angelina Jolie claims that her ex-husband Brad Pitt had a “history of physical abuse”In a recent court filing
Angelina Jolie has stated that Brad Pitt’s abuse towards her started before 2016. However, it was during a flight in 2016 that he allegedly became physically violent towards their children for the first time. Jolie’s lawyers mentioned this in a recent court filing.
In the ongoing legal battle between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt over Château Miraval, the French winery they once owned and where they got married, Jolie’s legal team has filed a motion. This motion requests communications from Pitt and his company, Mondo Bongo, regarding a nondisclosure agreement. Allegedly, Pitt wanted Jolie to sign this agreement before purchasing her shares in the winery.
According to Angelina Jolie’s attorney, Brad Pitt is accused of persistently trying to control and financially drain her. Additionally, he is alleged to be attempting to conceal his history of abuse and manipulation.
Angelina Jolie’s lawyer claims that Brad Pitt didn’t buy her share of the winery because she refused to agree to his NDA (nondisclosure agreement). This raises questions about why the NDA was so important to him. The lawyer suggests it’s because Pitt wanted to conceal his mistreatment of Jolie and their family.
Angelina Jolie’s legal team alleges that Brad Pitt was apprehensive about the possibility of evidence from their custody battle becoming public.
Angelina Jolie’s legal team claims that Brad Pitt feared evidence from their custody battle would become public. The disagreement over the winery stemmed from Pitt’s lawsuit, alleging Jolie’s stake sale was unlawful. Jolie’s lawyers assert she sold her share after Pitt withdrew from buying, coinciding with her filing sealed evidence of Pitt’s alleged domestic violence. This caused Pitt to worry about potential public exposure, leading him to demand a broader NDA covering his personal misconduct.
Angelina Jolie claims that during the family’s flight from France in 2016, Brad Pitt physically attacked her and their children.
In 2022, tensions between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie escalated over the winery issue. Jolie revealed alleged abuse during a flight. Her lawyers claimed Pitt shook her and pushed her against a wall, insulting her. They said he also got physical when one of their kids intervened. Jolie’s lawyers stated that Pitt harmed her and their children, leading her to sell her share of the winery to him.
In response, Pitt’s lawyer stated that he would address Jolie’s claims in court. Pitt admitted to his actions but denied parts of Jolie’s account he deemed untrue. Pitt’s lawyer emphasized his client’s acknowledgment of responsibility while facing personal attacks.
Brad Pitt wasn’t charged after an incident on a private jet in 2016. Investigations by the FBI and the LA County’s Department of Children and Family Services didn’t find evidence to charge him. Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who share six children, were officially divorced in 2019 but continue to dispute custody.
The continuing legal battles between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are causing emotional and financial strain on Jolie and their family. Jolie hopes for healing and wants to spare their children from further pain. The legal dispute involves a French estate and winery that they bought in 2008.
