Angelina Jolie files a lawsuit against Brad Pitt for violence against her and their children

This is the sinister story of a flight that was supposed to be private, from which the marriage of two Hollywood sex symbols crashed before the eyes of a stunned large audience. While Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have done everything they can to keep this complex court case out of prying eyes, the actress has just decided to file a counter complaint (which could be summarized as a counter-complaint: when the accused in a proceeding proposes himself as an actor against the plaintiff. The aggressor becomes the aggressor) against ex-husband, October 4, 2022.

And this, about the alleged abuses the actor committed against her and their children aboard that infamous 2016 private jet flight. Why are these new details emerging now?

The confidentiality agreement prevents Angelina Jolie from speaking publicly

Indeed, Angelina Jolie had to sign a confidentiality agreement (an NDA, as we often hear in the US series: Nondisclosure Agreement) which prohibits him from speaking outside the courts concerning the alleged physical and psychological violence that Brad Pitt allegedly committed against her and their children.

This NDA was likely signed in an attempt to amicably resolve a case involving a wine chateau in southern France. that the former Hollywood star couple was co-owned. In the wake of their separation, the actress had wanted to sell her shares to a Russian oligarch, to whom her ex-husband had opposed, filing a complaint against him because he would not have consulted him before and that this choice of the buyer could be an attempt to sabotage the actor’s business.

Angelina Jolie has just presented a counter-complaint (a counter-complaint) and it is this dossier that is enriched and complex today. While we have just learned of the launch of the brand of skin care by Brad Pitt, based entirely on the reputation of the winery in question, it was only a matter of time before a new twist occurred in this divorce case.

In fact, the New York Times reveals further details about the ongoing case surrounding the infamous 2016 private flight after which Angelina Jolie filed for divorce:

” Pitt strangled one of the children and punched another in the face ” And ” he grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her the document reads, adding that at one point “he spilled beer on Jolie; to another [moment], he poured beer and red wine on the children. “

The denunciation for Château Miraval, economic violence?

let’s remember that the federal authorities (FBI), authorized to investigate this type of private theft, have refused to initiate criminal proceedings for child abuse. It is on this subject that Angelina Jolie filed, anonymously, a complaint against the FBI, in order to obtain documents on the investigation. Because their divorce is not yet over and the question of custody of their offspring still arises. It is in this stormy context that Brad Pitt filed a complaint against the actress for her affairs with Château Miraval.

Much more than a media diversion, this complaint issued by the actor could be an attempt to regain some sort of financial control over his ex-wifedenounce the lawyers in the counterclaim just filed by Angelina Jolie on October 4, 2022:

” She [Angelina Jolie] went to great lengths to save his children from having to relive the pain Pitt inflicted on his family that day. But when Pitt brought this legal action to regain control of Jolie’s financial life and forcing her to join her ex-husband as a frozen business partner, Pitt forced Jolie to publicly defend herself on these issues for the first time. “

In other words, Angelina Jolie wanted to end this divorce as quickly and discreetly as possible and protect her children from an ex-husband who accuses of violence. And she would have taken her as an economic hostage through this history of Château. let’s remember that economic violence can also be part of the domestic violence spectrum.

“Pitt grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her”

As part of this new counterclaim, Angelina Jolie then prepares a file of further details regarding flight 2016. the discussion would have broken out because the actor criticized the actress for being ” too respectful »Towards their children. After yelling at him ” Pitt grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her, then grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her again before pushing her against the wall. from the bathroom of their private jet. The actor would then hit the plane’s ceiling several times, prompting the actress to leave the room. One of their children would later come to intervene. It was there that Brad Pitt would strangle him, then punch another child in the face, before throwing him beer and wine.

What adds further elements to think that Brad Pitt was indeed an abusive husband and father. But it is up to American justice to decide.
