Breaking News:Brad Pitt disputes Angelina Jolie’s claims of attempting to ‘silence’ her with $8.5 million NDA…See More:
The ongoing legal battle between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt continues to heat up. Jolie accuses Pitt of forcing her to sign an $8.5 million non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to “silence” her allegations of abuse.
In court documents filed July 25 and obtained by Fox News Digital, Jolie’s attorneys argued the “Maleficent” star and their children were “victims of Pitt’s purportedly ‘private’ abuse and cover-up.”
Jolie recently demanded Pitt hand over third-party communications relating to a 2016 plane incident. Jolie and Pitt allegedly had a physical altercation on the plane, and the actress filed for divorce shortly after.
In 2022, Pitt sued Jolie after the “Tomb Raider” star sold her stake in Château Miraval, the former couple’s French winery, and requested a judge declare the sale “null and void.”
In the court documents, Jolie’s legal team argued she “was not acting with malice and the intent to hurt Pitt in response to any custody ruling” when she sold her share of Miraval in 2021.
“Instead, it was Pitt who 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,” the court documents stated.
“Brad Pitt’s insistence on an NDA to cover up his criminal conduct is unconscionable, and no abuse survivor should be coerced and forced into silence,” the statement said.
“She never pressed charges, she left him all their properties and she is the one who tried to sell him the business in the first place. Yet he was not satisfied and still he sued her and continues to attack her in the press today. All she wants is peace and the ability to heal their family.”
