Angelina Jolie was recently seen enjoying an outing with her daughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, just a day before filing explosive court documents against her ex-husband, Brad Pitt. The 15-year-old appeared cheerful and radiant, seemingly unaware of the legal storm brewing between her parents.

In her court filing, Angelina alleges that Brad Pitt engaged in physical abuse before the infamous 2016 plane incident, a claim that marks the first time she has publicly made such accusations. According to Angelina, it wasn’t until after the 2016 incident—when their children were directly affected—that she decided to leave Pitt.

“This is personal, and I won’t say much more,” Angelina stated, highlighting the deeply personal nature of the allegations and the case.

Adding to the complexity of the dispute, Angelina claims that Brad wanted her to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to cover up the alleged abuse. She refused, emphasizing that such an agreement would only serve to silence her and hide the truth.

Brad Pitt’s legal team quickly responded, calling Angelina’s claims “misleading” and “inaccurate.” They noted that Brad had already been cleared of wrongdoing back in 2016. In 2021, Pitt was granted joint custody of their minor children, though Angelina has retained primary custody.

Angelina has expressed her commitment to allowing her children to find their own voices and flourish, despite the ongoing conflict. “I want them to find their own way, find their own voice, and flourish,” she shared, underscoring her desire to shield her children from the tumultuous public battle.

The divorce saga between Jolie and Pitt began in 2016 and was finalized in 2019. However, their legal disputes didn’t end there. In 2022, the ex-couple clashed over their $160 million French winery, dragging their legal battles out over seven years.

The recent allegations introduce new complications, tarnishing Pitt’s public image and casting a shadow over his career. Angelina’s claims of abuse have added significant pressure on Pitt, both legally and in the court of public opinion. Many view this as an attempt by Angelina to reveal what she perceives as the truth behind their troubled marriage.

Brad Pitt’s team maintains that the current legal dispute over the French winery is separate from the abuse allegations. However, Angelina’s court filing suggests otherwise. Her legal team argues that this is not just about property; it’s about accountability for past actions.

“An NDA cannot silence the victim of domestic violence,” Angelina’s legal representatives assert. They believe that the allegations are a direct result of years of conflict and are crucial to understanding the full context of their bitter divorce.

The court battle is a fallout from what has been described as a “nasty marriage,” marked by public disagreements and private pain. The abuse allegations, if substantiated, could significantly impact Pitt’s reputation and influence custody and property decisions.

As the legal dispute continues, the public and media remain fixated on every development, waiting to see how this deeply personal and painful chapter in Angelina and Brad’s lives will unfold.
