Amidst the ongoing legal tussle over their French winery, Angelina Jolie’s legal team has leveled serious accusations against Brad Pitt. In the latest court filings, Jolie’s attorneys have presented claims suggesting Pitt’s involvement in physical confrontations with Jolie, stretching back before the widely reported dispute on their flight from France to Los Angeles on September 14, 2016.
The legal documents, submitted to the LA County Superior Court, paint a picture of a pattern of alleged physical aggression from Pitt that precedes the infamous airplane incident. Jolie’s legal representatives are steadfast in their allegations, despite Pitt’s vehement denial of any physical abuse and the fact that no formal charges were brought against him following an FBI inquiry into the flight altercation.
A source close to the matter revealed to Dailymail, “While Pitt’s history of physical abuse started well before the family’s plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well.”
The crux of the issue, according to Jolie’s legal counsel, lies in Pitt’s refusal to undergo domestic violence counseling and his apparent neglect of pressing family matters. This is highlighted by his pursuit of partial custody of the couple’s six children, which Jolie’s team finds contradictory given the alleged unstable relationships he has with some of the children.
Insiders aligned with Jolie’s perspective have shed light on the situation, pointing out the dichotomy in Pitt’s actions. Despite the allegations of abusive behavior, Pitt reportedly pushed for joint custody, a move that has raised eyebrows given the strained dynamics within the family unit, Via US Weekly.
This legal battle, which now includes allegations of past physical abuse, adds another layer of complexity to the already intricate divorce proceedings between Jolie and Pitt. The claims made by Jolie’s attorneys underscore the deep-seated issues that have surfaced since the couple’s separation, bringing to the forefront the challenges in resolving custody and familial disputes, especially under the scrutiny of the public eye.
As the legal skirmish over the winery intertwines with these serious allegations, the narrative extends beyond a mere property dispute, delving into the personal turmoil and alleged domestic issues within one of Hollywood’s most high-profile former couples. The unfolding of these allegations in the legal arena underscores the protracted nature of their divorce and custody battle, spotlighting the multifaceted legal and personal challenges that continue to emerge.
