When Jolie filed for divorce, she expressed concerns about her husband’s parenting approach, alleging that Pitt had engaged in a physical fight with Maddox during an argument. This incident prompted an investigation involving the Los Angeles County Department of Children, although no charges were ultimately filed. Years after their separation, recent court filings have alleged that Brad Pitt’s ex-wife has accused him of «physical abuse» that predates the well-known 2016 plane incident.
The tension between the former couple escalated further due to the dispute surrounding the sale of a French winery they had purchased during their relationship.
In a surprising turn of events, an email sent by Jolie to her ex-husband on January 21, 2021, has now been made public. In her post, she expresses her emotions and informs Pitt about her decision to sell Miraval, a business that revolves around alcohol. Some people think this refers to the plane incident where Pitt supposedly choked Maddox and poured alcohol on her and the children. The Maleficent star also expressed, «Even now, it’s difficult to write this without tears.»
“Above all, it is the place we brought the twins home to, and where we were married over a plaque in my mother’s memory. A place where I imagined spending my golden years… However, it is also the location that signifies the start of the decline of our family.
According to reports, Pitt made an offer to purchase her share, but due to their ongoing divorce proceedings, the business deal fell through. In response, Jolie retaliated by submitting confidential documents related to the plane incident. Following this, Pitt requested Jolie to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that prevented her from discussing Pitt’s personal behavior towards her or their family outside of the courtroom. This was done in relation to the sale of the property. She strongly criticized the request, calling it a «unconscionable gag order. «According to recent news reports, new documents from Jolie’s legal team were filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday, April 4. These documents indicate that the alleged physical ab*se by Pitt began prior to the plane incident. During the family’s plane trip from France to Los Angeles in September 2016, Pitt’s history of physical abuse towards Jolie escalated to include the children for the first time. Jolie abruptly ended their relationship, The papers don’t provide further details but intent to “prove through through testimony, emails, photographs, and other evidence why Pitt was so concerned about his own misconduct that he blew up his own deal to purchase Jolie’s interest in Miraval because she refused to agree to his new, expansive NDA. ”Pitt has not addressed Jolie’s actions publicly, but according to a source close to him, there seems to be a recurring pattern of behavior. Whenever a decision doesn’t go in their favor, the other side tends to resort to introducing misleading, inaccurate, or irrelevant information as a means of diversion. It’s incredible how the judge, after carefully considering all the evidence presented during the lengthy custody trial, ultimately decided to grant him 50/50 custody. The trial must have delved into the entire history of their relationship, making it a complex and thorough process.
