The legal battle between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is getting nasty day by day. The Eternals star and the Bullet Train actor who ended their marriage in 2016 have engaged in a legal battle with their once-shared winery Château Miraval. The duo reportedly purchased it in 2008. However, the feud started after Pitt sued Jolie for selling her stake in the winery without consoling him. Along With the winery battle the duo also had a separate custody battle for their kids Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 16.
On August 1, the Maleficent alum submitted new court documents regarding the case of Château Miraval. As of their latest filing on August 2, the actress supported her previous allegations on Pitt noting how he choked one of their six children in a 2016 plane incident. Later on, Pitt’s attorney called this revelation a “sensationalist fishing expedition.” Let’s check out some key moments about the legal battle.
Angelina Jolie’s team shared a detailed statement about the incident
On July 17, Pitt’s attorney called Jolie’s divulgence a “sensationalist fishing expedition.” Her team finally came to defend her with another shocking allegation.
The team explained the mother-of-six is just guiding herself from her former husband’s “baseless allegations.”
The court documents continued, “Pitt’s narrative is that this case is just about a ‘business dispute’. But that is Pitt’s theory. Jolie’s theory is that this case is about Pitt’s attempt to use Miraval as leverage to control and enforce her silence. The jury will decide what the evidence shows, but for now, Jolie is entitled to gather the evidence she needs to support her theory.”
The file alleged Jolie is not acting with “malice” as “It was Pitt that refused to buy her interest unless he received his newly expanded NDA. enforceable by an $8.5 million holdback specifically designed to force her silence about his abuse and cover-up.”
As per the judgment of the court, the Fight Club star has been granted the order to order Jolie to produce within 60 days. The court documents disclosed, “all non-privileged documents in her possession, custody, or control” along with a “privilege log including sufficient factual information regarding any and all responsive documents that Jolie asserts are privileged to allow Plaintiffs to evaluate the merits of Jolie’s assertions of privilege.”
