Hollywood’s former golden couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, continue to make headlines with their tumultuous post-divorce saga. In the latest twist, Brad has accused Angelina of making invasive demands for personal communications, including details about their notorious 2016 private jet flight. Here’s everything we know about the escalating legal drama.
The Infamous 2016 Private Jet Incident
Background of the Flight
The drama dates back to a September 2016 private jet flight that led to Angelina filing for divorce. She accused Brad of getting physical with her and some of their children during the flight, allegations that Brad has consistently denied. Both the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services and the FBI investigated the incident, ultimately bringing no criminal charges against Brad.
Brad’s Stand
Brad has been firm in his stance, with his lawyer stating, “Brad has owned everything he’s responsible for from day one — unlike the other side, but he’s not going to own anything he didn’t do. He has been on the receiving end of every type of personal attack and misrepresentation.”
The Chateau Miraval Dispute
The Sale Controversy
The former couple’s legal battles have extended to their co-owned French winery, Chateau Miraval. Brad claims they had an agreement not to sell their stakes without mutual consent. Despite this, Angelina sold her stake to Stoli, a company owned by a Russian oligarch, leading Brad to allege a hostile takeover attempt. He sued to undo the sale, while Angelina denied any wrongdoing and insisted she didn’t need his approval.
Brad’s Offer
Brad and his business partners had offered Angelina over $50 million to buy her stake, but negotiations fell apart amid their bitter divorce battle. Angelina’s sale to Stoli has resulted in ongoing legal disputes, with both parties accusing each other of various misconducts.
Angelina’s Discovery Demands
In a new motion, Brad has accused Angelina of making “wide-ranging and intrusive” discovery requests. He claims she demanded 54 different documents
