Angelina Jolie’s legal team filed a motion to acquire Brad Pitt’s communications related to a nondisclosure agreement he wanted that allegedly hindered the sale of Jolie’s share of their Chateau Miraval winery. The prolonged legal dispute between the former couple includes accusations of abuse and financial control by Pitt towards Jolie. Pitt has claimed that Jolie secretly sold her share of the winery and family home, while Jolie argues that Pitt reneged on agreed-upon buyout negotiations.
Jolie’s team is seeking documents they believe are pertinent to the case, including communications between Pitt and various law enforcement agencies regarding allegations of abuse. They accuse Pitt of trying to conceal his alleged misconduct with an expansive nondisclosure agreement that would prevent Jolie from speaking about any negative aspects of their winery business. Pitt’s legal team, in response, claims that Jolie vindictively sold her stake in the winery to harm him and that she refused to complete a sale unless she agreed to remain silent about the abuse.
The legal battle also focuses on a plane incident in 2016 that reportedly prompted Jolie to file for divorce from Pitt. While Pitt was not charged in connection with the incident, Jolie’s team argues that the abuse began before the plane trip and that Pitt tried to force Jolie into signing a more restrictive nondisclosure agreement to cover up his actions. Pitt’s refusal to purchase Jolie’s winery share without the NDA led to the collapse of the deal, according to her attorneys.
Jolie’s team alleges that Pitt gaslighted her and tried to control her through the restrictive terms of the NDA he wanted her to sign. The motion to compel Pitt to produce the requested documents is seen as a crucial step in revealing the reasons behind his insistence on the NDA and his alleged abuse towards Jolie and their family. The legal battle continues to unfold, with both parties presenting evidence and making accusations against each other in court. Jolie, while not wanting to disclose certain evidence, is prepared to defend herself in court if necessary.
The case highlights the complex and contentious nature of high-profile celebrity divorces, especially when allegations of abuse and control are involved. Jolie’s team is focused on uncovering the truth behind Pitt’s actions, including his refusal to complete the sale of her winery share without the restrictive NDA. The legal dispute has dragged on for several years, reflecting the difficulty of resolving issues related to finances and custody arrangements in a public and acrimonious manner. The court proceedings are likely to shed light on the dynamics of Jolie and Pitt’s relationship and the factors that led to their contentious split.
