Angelina Jolie has claimed that Brad Pitt physically abused her on multiple occasions, not just during the infamous 2016 plane incident. In new legal documents obtained by Page Six, Jolie’s team alleged that Pitt’s abusive behavior began before their family trip on the plane, where he also allegedly turned his abuse towards their children. Their divorce, which was finalized in 2019, followed allegations of Pitt’s alcohol problem and violent behavior.
The latest allegations arose in a legal battle over the Chateau Miraval French winery, where Pitt reportedly refused to allow Jolie to sell her stake unless she signed a non-disclosure agreement covering his alleged misconduct. The NDA was intended to prevent Jolie from speaking out about Pitt’s purported abuse, which Jolie’s team alleges is a key reason behind Pitt’s reluctance to finalize their divorce settlement.
Jolie’s attorney claims that Pitt’s actions show a desire to conceal his abuse and prevent any evidence from becoming public. Jolie had reportedly submitted sealed documents in their child custody dispute, which Pitt feared would expose his behavior. The legal filings also state that Jolie never pressed charges against Pitt in the hope that he would take responsibility for his actions and help the family recover from the trauma he caused.
Pitt’s representatives have dismissed the new allegations as an attempt to distract from the facts presented in the custody trial, which granted Pitt equal custody. The ongoing legal battle sheds further light on the turbulent history of Pitt and Jolie’s relationship and the aftermath of their highly publicized divorce.
