Once the golden duo of Hollywood, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s fairy-tale romance has soured into a bitter legal saga dominating headlines. Recent court filings have brought to light allegations of Pitt’s alleged physical abuse against Jolie, dating back before their highly publicized 2016 plane incident.
Their once-unbreakable bond shattered publicly, notably during a legal battle over the sale of a French winery they co-owned. Pitt sued Jolie over the sale, claiming it jeopardized the business’s reputation. In retaliation, Jolie accused Pitt of abuse during the fateful plane journey, prompting her to file for divorce days later, finalized in 2019.
Fresh documents from Jolie’s legal team suggest the abuse began earlier than previously believed, implicating Pitt’s alleged misconduct not only towards Jolie but also their children. The filings hint at Jolie’s intent to unveil Pitt’s behavior through various evidence, shedding light on his alleged abusive patterns.
Jolie’s legal team also implies Pitt’s attempt to silence her through a non-disclosure agreement tied to the winery sale. Pitt’s team is yet to respond to these latest claims, but sources close to him dismiss them as a distraction tactic. Despite the legal battles, a custody trial granted Pitt 50/50 custody, reflecting the complexity of their tumultuous relationship.
