Angelina Jolie fires back at Brad Pitt’s recent motion demanding access to her past NDAs, labelling it as “expensive,” “wasteful,” and “abusive.”
ANGELINA JOLIE VS BRAD PITT
In newly filed court documents obtained by Page Six, Jolie’s legal team vehemently opposes Pitt’s request. They asserted that it is an invasion of privacy and an attempt to silence her regarding alleged abuse.
Jolie, 48, accused Pitt, 60, of seeking an expansive NDA during their Miraval deal fallout to suppress her from speaking about his alleged abusive behaviour towards her and their children.
The team drew attention to a particular incident during a flight from France to California in 2016.
ANGELINA JOLIE’S PAST NDAS
The Maleficent star maintains that Pitt’s demand for her past NDAs with third parties is unjustifiable. It emphasises that it would divulge confidential information and violate the privacy rights of other parties involved, according to Fandom Wire.
Pitt, on the other hand, argues that accessing Jolie’s previous NDAs is crucial to understanding whether her objections to his NDA proposal were genuine or merely a pretext for scuttling the deal.
However, Jolie’s legal team contends that Pitt’s request is irrelevant to the case.
ANGELINA JOLIE AND CLAIMS OF ABUSE
They emphasised that it was an attempt to dig up her past contractual relationships to undermine her claims of abuse.
The ongoing legal battle over the $500 million (R9,318,000,000.00) winery, purchased by the former couple in 2008, has escalated into a complex dispute, as reported by Vulture.
This dispute has spanned courts in California and Luxembourg.
Jolie’s attorneys highlight the harm victims of domestic violence face in court.
They condemned Pitt’s attempt to equate common NDAs with his alleged abuse cover-up.
POWER AND PRIVILEGE
Paul Murphy, Jolie’s attorney, denounces Pitt’s actions.
Paul asserts that the case is about power and privilege, not NDAs in general.
Murphy emphasises Jolie’s desire for separation and peace after years of turmoil.
Meanwhile, a source close to Pitt dismisses Jolie’s claims.
The source characterised the dispute as a basic business disagreement over Miraval, tainted by Jolie’s injection of personal matters unrelated to the case.
MIRAVAL’S VALUE
The source insists that Pitt only sought a standard non-disparagement agreement to protect Miraval’s value. They refuted Jolie’s portrayal of the issue as a continuation of their feud.
The legal saga, set against the backdrop of a high-profile divorce, continues to draw attention as both sides prepare for a hearing scheduled for May.
Jolie, who hasn’t set foot on the chateau since 2016, remains steadfast in her pursuit of justice. Pitt on the other hand maintains his stance on preserving Miraval’s legacy.
As the courtroom drama unfolds, the fate of the winery hangs in the balance, entangled in a web of legal intricacies and personal grievances.
