Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may no longer be together, but their legal battles continue to haunt them even after their divorce. If you’re a fan of these Hollywood A-listers, you’re likely aware of their ongoing court dispute over the sale of a French winery they purchased together.
In a surprising turn of events, court documents filed by Angelina Jolie in the Los Angeles Superior Court revealed some shocking allegations against Brad Pitt. Jolie claims that Pitt had been physically abusive towards her even before the infamous airplane incident that led to their divorce.
The legal drama began in 2022 when Pitt filed a lawsuit against Jolie and her former company for selling her share of the winery without his approval. Pitt argued that this jeopardized the reputation of the business. In response, Jolie accused Pitt of becoming physically abusive during a plane ride from France to California in 2016. She alleged that he had grabbed her by the head and also physically harmed their children.
New court documents submitted by Jolie’s legal team on April 4 shed further light on the abuse allegations. The documents suggest that Pitt’s physical abuse started earlier than previously believed, and that the 2016 plane trip marked the first time he turned his abuse towards their children. Jolie promptly left him after this incident.
Pitt has adamantly maintained his innocence, but the battle continues. Jolie has accused him of trying to financially exploit her. She claims that Pitt’s lawsuit is just another attempt to control and drain her financially. Jolie argues that Pitt’s false allegations regarding the failure of the Miraval deal can only be proven by exposing his history of physical and emotional abuse through a trial.
Despite Jolie’s claims, sources close to Pitt suggest that he has been supportive and continues to provide financial assistance. It seems that Jolie’s accusations may have more to do with revenge than legitimate concerns.
It’s important to note that the custody trial involving the couple resulted in a 50/50 custody arrangement, despite the allegations made by Jolie. Pitt’s camp views Jolie’s recent filings as an attempt to distract from the facts presented during the trial.
As the legal battle between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt rages on, we can only hope for a peaceful resolution for the sake of their family.
