all Angelina Jolie What I want is Brad Pitt She has demanded that he “end the fight” and drop the multimillion-dollar lawsuit against her, but if he doesn’t, she is prepared to come to light with evidence that he “fears” into publishing, her lawyer said in a new statement.
Jolie and Pitt are engaged An all-out legal battle In February 2022, he sued her for selling her half of a French winery the previous year, allegedly in breach of an oral agreement that would have allowed him to buy out her share.
Jolie’s team, meanwhile, claims talks to sell to Pitt fell apart because Jolie demanded that she sign a non-disclosure agreement that “contractually barred her from discussing outside of court allegations about Pitt’s physical and emotional abuse of her and her children,” a claim Pitt’s lawyers deny.
Their battle took a turn in early April when Jolie’s lawyers filed a motion seeking access to all of Pitt’s third-party communications regarding the infamous incident on the family’s private jet in 2016, arguing that such material is “highly relevant” to their case. Earlier this week, Pitt’s lawyers fired back, calling the request “extensive and intrusive” and “sensational fishing.” people They asked that Jolly’s motion be denied.
On Wednesday, Jolie’s lawyer, Paul Murphy, said: told the magazine She claims that Pitt’s demand for an extensive non-disclosure agreement was an attempt to “punish and control” her and cover up his own “personal misconduct and abuse.”
Murphy continued, “These actions are central to this litigation, and we are not at all surprised that Mr. Pitt is afraid to produce documents establishing these facts.”
“Angelina again calls on Mr. Pitt to end this dispute and put her family on the path to healing, but unless Mr. Pitt drops his lawsuit, Angelina will have no choice but to obtain the evidence necessary to prove his claims are false,” the lawyers concluded.
A spokesman for Pitt declined to comment to the magazine on Wednesday.
In a response earlier this week, Pitt’s lawyers said: Inglourious Basterds Star “voluntarily offered to provide sufficient documentation.” all Jolie alleges that the incident that happened on the flight that sparked the former couple’s divorce – Pitt’s request for an NDA – became extremely uncomfortable here.”
But according to Pitt’s lawyers, Jolie rejected his requests and instead “attempted to compel her to communicate with third parties, including her most trusted advisors, about sensitive issues, including the therapy she voluntarily undertook to improve herself after the flight, the ‘drug and alcohol testing’ she allegedly underwent, her ‘excessive consumption or abuse of alcohol’ after the flight, and other actions she allegedly took.”
Many of the details surrounding what happened on that 2016 flight remained unclear until October 2022, when Jolie filed a countersuit alleging that Pitt was verbally and physically abusive while the family was flying from France to California.
About 90 minutes after takeoff, Pitt demanded that Jolie come with him to the back of the plane, dragged her into the bathroom and began yelling at her, according to the countersuit. “Pitt grabbed Jolie’s head and shook her, then grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her again, before pushing her against the wall of the bathroom,” the suit reads.
The lawsuit also alleges that Pitt lunged at one of the children when he tried to protect their mother, injuring Jolie in the back and elbow when she tried to stop him, “choked one of the children and punched the other in the face,” and poured alcohol on Jolie and the children before the plane landed in Los Angeles.
According to the countersuit, Jolie filed for divorce five days later.
