Did Brad Pitt Attempt to Silence Angelina Jolie with a Non-Disclosure Agreement?
In the ongoing legal battle between Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, new revelations have emerged regarding Pitt’s alleged attempts to silence Jolie with a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
Jolie’s Allegations
Jolie’s legal team has filed court documents, alleging that Pitt has a “history of physical abuse” that began prior to the 2016 plane incident in which he allegedly assaulted both Angelina and their son, Maddox.
“Pitt’s history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles,” Jolie’s petition states. “This flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well.”
The Winery Dispute
The allegations have surfaced in connection with a lawsuit over the French winery, Château Miraval, which the couple co-owned before Jolie sold her shares in October 2021.
Pitt’s lawyers claim Jolie sold her shares without Pitt’s consent, violating an agreement between them. Jolie’s team argues that Pitt has consistently refused to buy her out without her signing a “more expansive” NDA.
The NDA in Question
Jolie’s attorneys argue that the NDA Pitt wanted her to sign would have prohibited her from speaking out about “potential misconduct and abuse” on his part.
“The document was clearly designed to shut down any possibility that Jolie might speak out about her and the children’s experiences during her marriage with Pitt,” the petition states.
Pitt’s Response
Pitt’s legal team has denied the allegations of physical abuse, calling them “completely false and baseless.”
“This case is about whether they had an agreement not to sell their interests in the winery and family home without the other’s consent,” Pitt’s lawyer, Theodore Boutrous Jr., said in a statement.
Potential Future Implications
The outcome of the legal battle could have significant implications for the couple and their ongoing relationship.
If Jolie’s allegations are proven true, it could further damage Pitt’s reputation and potentially lead to criminal charges.
On the other hand, if Pitt is successful in proving that Jolie violated their agreement by selling her shares, he may be entitled to financial compensation.
The ongoing legal proceedings will shed light on the complexities of their relationship and the allegations that have plagued it.
