At one point in time they were the IT couple of Hollywood, a pairing with enough collective star quality to outshine even the brightest of lights.
Sadly, the union between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was ultimately destined for disaster, and these days any headlines happening to mention them both in the same breath are most always focused on the negative aspects of their divorce and ensuing court battles.
According to reports, a new court filing has alleged that Brad Pitt’s “physical abuse” against his ex-wife began before the now infamous 2016 plane incident
The two A-listers have locked horns in recent years over the sale of a French winery they bought while still together, their once strong bond shattered into sharpened fragments in plain view of the public eye.
In 2022 Pitt sued Jolie and her former company Nouvel for selling her half of the winery – it’s been claimed by Pitt that the two of them had agreed not to sell their shares without gaining the other’s approval first. The actor said that his ex-wife had consequently “jeopardize[d] the reputation of the business that Pitt so carefully built”.
Jolie then struck back, alleging in court documents that Pitt had become abusive during a plane ride from France to California in 2016. The Tomb Raider star accused Pitt of “grabbing” her “by the head” before also becoming physically abusive towards two of their children.
