What happened aboard the Jolie-Pitt family's private plane in September 2016 remains hotly contested. While Angelina Jolie accuses her husband of a disturbing outburst of violence, Brad Pitt now vehemently rejects this as "completely untrue".
Hollywood actor Brad Pitt has responded to allegations by his ex-wife Angelina Jolie. After an initial brief statement, in which a spokesman for Pitt described the allegations as "completely untrue," his attorney responded. She told US broadcaster CNN that Jolie's story is constantly changing. Your client would take responsibility for his actions, but only for things he did.
"He endured every kind of personal attack and misrepresentation," said lawyer Anne Kiley. Jolie accuses her ex-husband of freaking out on a private flight in September 2016. Pitt "pulled her into the bathroom" on the plane, "grabbed her, shook her and pushed her against the bathroom wall".
He is also said to have choked one of their children and hit another in the face. The children begged their father to stop and were scared. Pitt also poured beer and red wine on the children. Everyone tried to protect each other.
Exactly what happened on board the flight has been speculated for years. Shortly after the incidents, Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt, which became official in 2019. She subsequently demanded sole custody of her children. Since then, the two have been fighting a veritable war of roses.
With a lawsuit against Jolie in February 2022, Pitt wanted to reverse the sale of their shares in the joint winery to a Russian oligarch. His accusation: Jolie sold her part behind his back. Although Jolie announced in July 2021 that it had reached an agreement with a buyer, Pitt allegedly did not agree to the sale.
In 2008, the two jointly acquired the Château Miraval in Correns between Marseille and Nice. Pitt claimed in the lawsuit that he's invested a lot of money and time over the years, and he wants a reward for it. His wife at the time would have paid 40 percent of the original purchase price of 25 million euros, he paid the rest.
According to Pitt, there was always an agreement that neither of them could sell their shares without the consent of the other. Jolie now contradicts that. According to the actress, such an agreement never existed. In addition, the current counterclaim against Pitt alleges that he asked Jolie to sign a non-disclosure agreement. She should have committed herself not to speak publicly about her ex-husband's alleged outbreaks of violence.
