American actor Brad Pitt denied Angelina Jolie’s accusations that he wanted to use a confidentiality agreement to control his ex-wife.

According to Daily Mail on April 5, at the Los Angeles Superior Court, USA, Brad Pitt’s lawyers argued that Angelina Jolie’s accusations about the confidentiality contract were just an excuse for her to “rationalize” her betrayal. me with my ex-husband.

Based on documents accessed by the news agency, Angelina Jolie is currently giving up negotiations worth $54 million related to the vineyard because the terms of the contract do not defame each other. She believes this is an “unconscionable” attempt by her ex-husband to “control her” after the breakup. However, Pitt’s team claims that Jolie asked him to sign this agreement as part of the divorce terms just six months after Jolie sold her shares of the estate.

Pitt’s side said Angelina Jolie also used non-disclosure agreements to “silence” her employees. They argued that if Jolie used a similar type of contract to force employees to keep quiet about the actress’s private life, including how she treated her children and husband, this would prove whether Jolie really thinks what she thinks. Pitt’s proposed security clause is “unconscionable” or not.

In its petition to the court, Pitt’s team asked Jolie to disclose confidentiality agreements with third parties, including terms with individuals working for Jolie. They said this could “weaken her defenses”, discrediting accusations that caused Jolie to abandon estate negotiations.

In addition, Brad Pitt’s lawyer also responded to his ex-wife’s accusations of violence . They say the current lawsuit is not related to the 2016 plane fight. Brad Pitt and his legal team just want to focus on whether the two can resolve the issue of selling shares of the winery and estate when without the consent of the other person or not. “Jolie’s side continues to play the same strategy after many years,” said a friend of Pitt.

Paul Murphy, Angelina Jolie’s lawyer, said: “For Pitt, it is pathetic that he equated confidentiality agreements between employees and the workplace, and tried to cover up his history of domestic abuse. What my client wants is divorce and health. She deserves peace after all these years.” Many news agencies said the hearing will take place on May 16.

On April 4, Angelina Jolie’s legal team submitted a petition related to the estate lawsuit, accusing Brad Pitt of having a past of abusing her. In addition, they also released new records to prove that Brad Pitt once asked his wife to sign a privacy agreement if he wanted the actor to buy back her shares in the winery. Jolie’s representative said that the actor was worried that the sealed documents she provided for the custody battle could be leaked if there were no binding documents.

The dispute started in mid-2016, when Angelina wanted to sell the Château Miraval vineyard to move to England but faced opposition from Brad Pitt. He said he loves this place very much and has spent a lot of time renovating and renovating it so he doesn’t want to sell it. In 2022, the actor sued his ex-wife for the first time for secretly selling ownership rights to Yuri Shefler, but was lost by the Los Angeles court because there was not enough evidence for the crime.

In February, the Luxembourg court (Belgium) announced that Brad Pitt won the final round of trial in the case accusing Angelina Jolie of voluntarily selling shares of the estate to Yuri Shefler – the owner of a giant wine company in Russia. According to Daily Mail on March 13, Angelina Jolie moved to overturn the preliminary verdict after losing the case.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt first met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005), when the actor was married to Jennifer Aniston. After the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Angie and Pitt publicly loved each other, got married in 2014, and together took care of six children, including three adopted and three biological. In 2016, Angelina Jolie filed for divorce due to unresolved conflicts. They both won custody of their children, but Brad Pitt lost.
