Regarding the connection between the custody dispute and common property, Jolie’s lawyer accused the Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood actor of asking the beauty born in 1975 to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) about the case. violence. If his ex-wife agrees, Brad will buy back her shares in the winery. According to Angelina, Brad not only tried to control and destroy her finances, but also did everything he could to hide his history of physical abuse against his wife and children.
“Mr. Pitt refused to buy Ms. Jolie’s shares in the winery when she did not compromise to sign the NDA. By refusing to buy shares but then suing Jolie, Mr. Pitt directly raises the issue of why that NDA is so important to him and what he hopes it will bury. That is his mistreatment of Ms. Jolie and their family,” Paul Murphy – a member of Angelina Jolie’s legal team – told the press.

Insiders said that Angelina did not want to be dragged into the lawsuit and did not intend to make a fuss about everything. However, she was forced to defend herself by telling the truth, responding to her ex-husband’s aggressive actions.
The source added that by prolonging the legal battle over the winery, Brad exposes himself to even more allegations that could spread through the court system and then into the public. Angelina is said to be “extremely sad”. She just hopes her ex-husband can move forward and leave her in peace.
In response, a friend of Brad Pitt criticized Angelina Jolie and her own legal team for “playing tricks” with the actor. According to this person, whenever she faces a disadvantage in the winery lawsuit, Angelina always chooses to release false, inaccurate or irrelevant information to distract public opinion.
While the joint property lawsuit shows no signs of ending, the custody battle is almost over with Angelina Jolie winning. Brad Pitt is said to have given up the dispute because most of his children have entered adulthood and the father-son relationship has grown apart over the years.
