What does Angelina Jolie ask Brad Pitt?
In order to “end the fighting and finally put their family on a clear path toward healing,” Angelina Jolie’s legal team is requesting that Brad Pitt rescind his lawsuit about the French winery they co-owned.
Pitt, 60, filed a lawsuit against Jolie, 49, in February 2022, alleging that she had broken their agreement by selling her share of Chateau Miraval to a third party in October 2021 without his permission. She did it, he said, to try to “undermine [his] investment.”
Six years after purchasing the vineyard in 2008, the ex-couples got married on the estate in southern France. Pitt and Jolie divorced in late 2016, and in 2019 they were officially pronounced single.
Since then, they have been embroiled in complex court battles for years regarding Chateau Miraval and their underage children’s custody.
(The couple has six children together: the twins, Knox and Vivienne, 16, Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, and Shiloh, 18.)
Regarding the dramatic vineyard situation, Jolie’s attorneys filed a motion in April. They asserted that Jolie had to sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before Pitt would purchase her shares in the wine company.
They further claimed that Pitt’s request was made in order to hide his alleged “physical abuse” of the actress prior to the now-famous 2016 plane incident involving their children, which resulted in their divorce.
Pitt’s attorneys refuted the claims, claiming that Jolie’s regular use of NDAs weakens her case.
They said that Jolie fabricated the assertions regarding the controlling nature of his proposed NDA “in an effort to rationalize” her “wrongful sale” of her Miraval interest.
Pitt filed a move to compel Jolie to produce all of the NDAs she signed with third parties between 2014 and 2022, and the judge in Los Angeles Superior Court granted the motion in May.
Jolie was given a deadline of sixty days to provide the necessary paperwork. At the time, a source told Us that the decision dealt her a devastating legal blow.
In a fresh statement to Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday, July 17, Pitt’s attorney Paul Murphy said that Pitt had “tried to punish and control Angelina by demanding a newly expanded NDA to cover his personal misconduct and abuse.”
These proceedings revolve around their actions. Murphy went on, “We are not at all shocked Mr. Pitt is reluctant to provide the records proving these facts.
“Angelina is forced to gather the proof required to refute Mr. Pitt’s accusations unless he withdraws his lawsuit, even though she begs him to stop the arguments and finally put their family on a clear path toward healing.”
Earlier this year, a friend of Pitt’s who is aware of the ongoing legal drama told Us that the lawsuits reflect “a pattern of behavior” between the two.
The source revealed, “They consistently choose to introduce misleading, inaccurate, and/or irrelevant information as a distraction whenever there is a decision that goes against the other side.” “After hearing all the evidence in a protracted custody trial covering their whole relationship history, the judge gave him 50/50 custody.”
