In a court document filed on Tuesday, Angelina Jolie claims that during a trip in 2016, Brad Pitt grabbed her by the head, shook her, choked one of their kids, and hit another when they defended her. Lawyers for Ms. Jolie claimed that Mr. Pitt's demand that she sign a nondisclosure agreement that would have prevented her from discussing Pitt's physical and emotional abuse of her and their children outside of court caused negotiations to sell her share of the company to fail. The dispute arose from a winery the well-known Hollywood actors once co-owned.
She goes on to detail a protracted verbal and physical outburst that occurred in September 2016 during a flight from France to California that Mr. Pitt, Ms. Jolie, and their six children were taking. The filing claims that Pitt "grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her, choked one of the children and struck another in the face, and poured beer on Jolie; at another, he poured beer and red wine on the children. Federal authorities, who have authority over air travel, looked into the incident but decided against filing any charges. A few days following her flight, Ms. Jolie filed for divorce.
The couple'`s argument over a French home and winery they co-owned, which is unrelated to their existing divorce, caused Jolie to submit a cross-complaint, which included details of the violence experienced on the private aircraft. Jolie also promptly requested a divorce from the pair. Jolie'`s accusations were vehemently refuted by a Pitt spokesman who was not authorised to speak in public and labelled it ``"another rehash that only damages the family.``
Shortly after the flight, the allegations of abuse on the plane were first made public, but the specifics were kept secret in divorce papers and investigations by the FBI and Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, both of which concluded that no action against Pitt was required.
Following a trial behind closed doors where the accusations were made, the court granted Pitt joint custody of the kids. However, following a motion from Jolie, an appeals court overturned the judgement by disqualifying the private judge for failing to disclose any conflicts of interest.
Anne Kiley, a divorce attorney for Mr. Pitt, claimed that although Mr. Pitt had admitted some guilt in the past, he would not accept responsibility for wrong doing.
Brad Pitt, who has previously been married to celebrities Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston, is said to be seeing model Emily Ratajkowski. Despite the fact that they have been seen together numerous times, friends are still doubtful that their relationship is real. Following his split from Angelina Jolie, Brad has been spotted multiple times with different ladies. Brad isn't particularly romantically oriented, according to Brad's friends. Before diving in, he's probably testing the waters.
