Allegations of Abuse Surface
Preceding Events
Angelina Jolie’s legal team has made startling accusations in a recent court filing, asserting that Brad Pitt’s alleged physical abuse began before a highly publicized altercation involving Pitt, Jolie, and their children on a plane in September 2016.
Legal Disputes Escalate
Château Miraval’s Turbulent Ownership
The former Hollywood power couple finds themselves embroiled in a protracted legal battle over their French winery, Château Miraval. Pitt filed a lawsuit against Jolie in 2022, alleging that she violated contractual rights by selling her half of the winery without his knowledge.
Counterclaims and Controversies
Claims and Counterclaims
In response, Jolie’s lawyers asserted that negotiations with Pitt’s team regarding the sale of her share of Château Miraval collapsed due to Pitt’s alleged demand for a restrictive nondisclosure agreement. This agreement would have prevented Jolie from speaking publicly about Pitt’s purported physical and emotional abuse of her and their children outside of court.
New Developments Unveiled
Motion for Disclosure
A recent motion filed by Jolie’s legal team aims to unveil communications that they argue demonstrate Pitt’s refusal to permit Jolie to sell her stake in the winery unless she agreed to sign a nondisclosure agreement characterized as “more onerous” and “expansive.”
The Alleged Turning Point
Critical Flight Incident
According to the filing, Pitt’s history of physical abuse toward Jolie allegedly predates the 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles. However, the flight marked a significant turning point as it allegedly witnessed the first instance of Pitt’s physical abuse towards the children, prompting Jolie to promptly exit the relationship.
The ongoing legal saga between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie continues to unfold, shedding light on complex legal disputes and personal allegations that have captured public attention
