The world was in shock when news broke of the separation between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The Hollywood power couple, who seemed to have the perfect relationship, was splitting up. Fans were left wondering what had led to the downfall of their once-envied union.
The divorce between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie turned into one of the most publicized and bitter battles in celebrity history. When Jolie initially filed for divorce, she alleged that Pitt had attacked their son Maddox during an argument. This led to an investigation by the Los Angeles County Department of Children, although no charges were ultimately pressed.
Now, years after their separation, new court filings have alleged that Brad Pitt’s “physical abuse” towards his ex-wife began even before the infamous 2016 plane incident. This disturbing revelation adds another layer of complexity to their already contentious relationship.
The tensions between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie escalated further when they clashed over the sale of a French winery they had purchased together while still a couple. In 2022, Pitt sued Jolie’s company for selling her share of the winery without his approval. He argued that this jeopardized the reputation of the business he had painstakingly built.
In January 2021, an email from Jolie to Pitt became public. In the email, Jolie expressed her decision to sell Miraval, a business that holds sentimental value for them, as it was where they brought their twins home and where they were married. Many believed Jolie’s reference to the plane incident indicated the emotional toll it had taken on their family.
Amidst their ongoing divorce proceedings, Pitt offered to buy Jolie’s share of the winery. However, the deal fell through, resulting in further animosity between the ex-couple. Jolie retaliated by submitting sealed documents that contained information about the plane incident. Pitt then asked Jolie to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to prevent her from discussing his personal conduct outside of court. Jolie condemned this request as an “unconscionable gag order.”
Fresh court documents submitted by Jolie’s legal team imply that the physical abuse from Pitt started before the plane incident in 2016. The papers reveal that Pitt’s abuse towards Jolie predated the separation flight from France to Los Angeles, marking the first time he turned his physical aggression towards their children. Jolie promptly left him after this incident.
The submitted documents aim to present testimonies, emails, photographs, and other evidence that shed light on Pitt’s alleged misconduct. They also seek to explain why Pitt backed out of purchasing Jolie’s share of Miraval after she refused to agree to the expansive NDA he proposed.
Although Brad Pitt has not responded publicly to these allegations, a source close to him has argued that this is a pattern of behavior on Jolie’s part. According to the source, whenever a decision doesn’t go her way, she resorts to introducing misleading and irrelevant information to distract from the matter at hand. The source also points out that despite the custody battle, which examined the entire history of their relationship, the judge ultimately granted Pitt 50/50 custody.
The story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s separation is a complex and deeply personal one. It serves as a reminder that even the most glamorous relationships can be filled with turmoil and difficulty. As the legal battle continues, the public eagerly awaits the resolution of this high-profile divorce.
