Angelina Jolie told kids to ‘avoid’ Brad Pitt, security guard claims
Global News
Lawyers for Brad Pitt filed new court documents alleging Angelina Jolie tried to sabotage the relationship between the ex-couple's 6 children and their father.
The fiery legal battle between A-list actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt still isn’t cooling off, with new court documents claiming Jolie instructed their children to “avoid” Pitt during his custody visits.
Lawyers for Pitt, 60, filed new court documents on Thursday alleging Jolie, 48, tried to sabotage the relationship between the ex-spouses’ six children and their father. According to ET News, who obtained the filing, a longtime security guard to Jolie said he was told a contractor overheard the Maleficent actor instructing her kids not to speak to Pitt during their visits.
Tony Webb, who is no longer employed by Jolie, also said she attempted to silence her employees and contractors through non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
In a statement, Jolie’s lawyer called Pitt’s new legal filing “shameful.” The lawyer accused Pitt of equating Jolie’s “common NDAs” with his own requests to allegedly strengthen existing NDAs to aid in the “coverup of his deplorable actions.”
Pitt’s new allegations were filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court, where Pitt and Jolie are arguing over the Château Miraval winery they used to own together in the south of France. In February 2022, Pitt began the messy legal proceeding when he sued Jolie for selling her share of the winery to a Russian oligarch instead of to him.
Jolie filed a countersuit of her own and claimed she sold her portion of the winery after negotiations to sell to Pitt came to a halt. She told the court Pitt insisted Jolie sign a “nondisclosure agreement that would have contractually prohibited her from speaking outside of court about Pitt’s physical and emotional abuse of her and their children.”
Much of the public attention on the lawsuit has revolved around Jolie’s claims Pitt was verbally and physically abusive to her and their children. The allegations stem from a now-infamous 2016 flight on a private jet that the family took together. Onboard, Jolie claimed Pitt “choked one of the children and struck another in the face” and “grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her.”
Days after the flight, Jolie filed for divorce.
