Brad’s history of physical abuse against me, by Angelina: In dramatic court papers, actress claims Pitt regularly clashed with her and turned on their children in fight on private jet, writes ALISON BOSHOFF

The last words of their marriage – entered into just 25 months earlier – are said to have been spoken by Brad Pitt on the steps of the private jet that took him, Angelina Jolie and their six children from their home in France to Los Angeles in September 2016.

“F*** you,” he apparently said. “F*** you all.” According to Ms. Jolie, for good measure, he called her a “bitch” and “shook her” by the head and shoulders.

The alleged argument on the plane, which ended their marriage, has been rehearsed by Mrs Jolie in a lawsuit.

What started as an altercation between him and one of the children turned – she says – into a physical fight in which he poured beer and wine on his family and injured his wife by throwing herself backwards onto a row of chairs as she clung on. to his back.

However, in a new legal move, the actress has claimed that Pitt – twice named People magazine’s ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ – physically and emotionally abused her before then.

“Pitt’s history of physical abuse of Jolie began well before the family’s plane trip from France to Los Angeles…this flight marked the first time he also directed his physical abuse at the children,” her lawyers allege in newly released court documents.

The court papers allege that Mrs. Jolie has evidence of “Pitt’s history of physical abuse of the family and abuse of control of Jolie” and claims that the children continue to experience “significant and persistent post-traumatic stress.”

Lawyers for Ms. Jolie cite a “history of abuse, control and cover-up” and claim that Ms. Jolie has “testimonials, emails, photographs and other evidence” that they say will show how Pitt tried to conceal his behavior as they come to court.

The actor’s denials of physical abuse are described in court documents as “gaslighting.”

Additionally, the company claims he exerted “coercive” financial control over her through their Miraval winery dispute as their divorce dragged on over the past seven years.

Pitt has denied all allegations of physical abuse and was not charged following an FBI investigation into the in-flight incident.

A source close to the actor described the filing this week as “pretty much more of the same” from Ms. Jolie, adding that it fit a “pattern.”

“Every time a decision is made that goes against the other side, they consistently choose to introduce misleading, inaccurate and/or irrelevant information as a distraction,” the source said.

The pair met on the set of Mr And Mrs Smith in 2004 and the following year Pitt and his then wife Jennifer Aniston announced their divorce.

In 2008, Pitt and Mrs. Jolie purchased Chateau Miraval, a 35-room house in Provence with 926 acres and a vineyard.

He and Ms. Jolie have six children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15, and married in 2014 at Chateau Miraval.

Ms Jolie filed for divorce five days after the incident in 2016 and a legal battle has been raging ever since.

Her latest documents claim they were close to agreeing a deal that would see her sell her share of the castle and wine business to him in February 2021.

But they claim the deal fell through due to a filing filed as part of their concurrent custody dispute.

Lawyers say Ms. Jolie submitted two “offers of evidence” in front of the custody judge on March 12 detailing “evidence of Pitt’s domestic violence against Jolie and their children.”

Jolie’s latest court findings also claim that the couple had all but agreed on a deal that would see her sell her share of the chateau they owned and its associated wine business to him in February 2021, but it collapsed as a result of an application being made as part of their ongoing custody dispute

They say her sealed file “made Pitt fear that the information would eventually become public.”

Documents claim: ‘Pitt changed course and suddenly made his purchase of Jolie’s share of Miraval conditional on her agreeing to a vastly expanded non-disclosure agreement that now covers Pitt’s personal misconduct, whether related to Miraval or not.’

Pitt is accused in the documents of taking advantage of her absence from Miraval to gain control of the winery and refusing to distribute profits to her.

Ms Jolie rejected the non-disclosure agreement and told Pitt she planned to sell her stake.

Pitt’s version of events suggests her sale was a “vindictive” act and was fueled by anger over a 50-50 custody decision.

This was later overturned after it emerged that the judge had declared no business relationship with a lawyer on Pitt’s team.

Jolie’s attorney Paul Murphy said, “By refusing to buy her stake but then suing her, Pitt directly challenged why that NDA was so important to him and what he hoped it would bury: his abuse of Jolie and their family.’

An insider described the situation as “incredibly sad,” adding that Ms. Jolie “just wished Pitt could move on and leave her alone.”
