Angelina Jolie claims Brad Pitt tried to ‘silence’ her abuse allegations by pushing NDA

Angelina Jolie is accusing Brad Pitt of trying to silence her.

In court documents filed on July 25, lawyers for the “Maleficent” star, 49, claim Pitt, 60, is trying to have Jolie sign a non-disclosure agreement, reports People.

The non-disclosure agreement would cover allegations of abuse by Pitt.

Jolie’s legal team argued in support of a motion compelling the “Fight Club” star to disclose information, which Pitt’s lawyers have decried as “wide-ranging and intrusive” in a separate filing.

The couple, who were married from 2014 to 2019 and share six children, have been squabbling over their French winery, Château Miraval, which they co-owned.

In 2022, the actor sued his ex for selling her stake, claiming that she had breached an agreement that neither could sell unless the other approved.

In the most recent court documents, Jolie’s attorneys alleges that Jolie “was not acting with malice and the intent to hurt Pitt in response to any custody ruling” when she sold her share of Miraval in 2021.

“Instead, it was Pitt who refused to buy her interest unless he received his newly expanded NDA, enforceable by an $8.5 million holdback specifically designed to force her silence about his abuse and cover-up.”

The couple abruptly split in September 2016 after a family plane trip from France to Los Angeles reportedly turned violent with Pitt allegedly getting physically abusive with Jolie and some of their six children.

Recently, Jolie alleged in court documents that the abuse “started well before” the infamous plane trip but had always only been directed toward the actress. According to Jolie’s camp, the “flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well. Jolie then immediately left him.”

“While Pitt advances what is effectively an outdated privacy-of-domestic-violence argument to shield his abuse,” the current documents allege. “His argument is not the law, at least not in this century, and he cites no authority that would give him such unwarranted protections. In any event, he waived any privacy protections when he sued Jolie.”

However, Pitt’s lawyers have struck back asking for the motion to be denied as the communications requested are “about such sensitive issues as therapy he voluntarily took,” following the 2016 plane ride.

The “Moneyball” star’s legal team further allege that his “private, third-party communications” have nothing to do with a financial dispute over the winery and accuse Jolie of attempting to “turn this business dispute into a re-litigation of the former couple’s divorce case.”

The acrimonious couple have also been battling it out over custody of their children, half of whom have now reached legal age: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

Last month, Shiloh took legal action to drop Pitt from her last name.

Her lawyer claimed the name change was due to “painful events” in her life.
