While he is accused of abusing his children by his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt defends himself. One of his lawyers explained that the actor takes "responsibility for the things he did in his past, but he will not take responsibility for the things he did not do". This was revealed by Page Six after the same newspaper revealed details of the actor's alleged abuse of his former wife and children. His representative claims "the accusations against him are 'completely false’".
As evidenced by a new court document, the contents of which were revealed on October 5, Brad Pitt allegedly laid hands on one of his children, whose identity has not been revealed, during the tumultuous September 2016 private jet flight in which the couple had a violent altercation. According to the complaint filed by Jolie, her drunken husband "choked one of the children and punched another in the face." He also allegedly grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her, threw beer on her and poured beer and red wine on the children. Jolie, Pitt and their six children were en route from France to California.
Following this violent family dispute, Angelina Jolie filed for divorce and filed a first complaint to denounce the behavior of her spouse. Brad Pitt had been indicted for child abuse without any charge being finally retained against him.
Brad took responsibility for what he did from day one, unlike the other party. But he won't take responsibility for things he didn't do," his lawyer responded in a statement. "He is the target of a personal attack and things are being distorted."
"Fortunately, the various agencies that the other side has been trying to mount against him for the past six years have made their own independent decisions," his representative explained. "Brad will continue to answer in court, as he always has. »
These accusations are echoed in the press while the couple is already at the heart of a legal battle concerning the castle of Miraval, their property in the south of France, where Brad Pitt has just launched a line of cosmetics. While Angelina Jolie wants to give him his shares, Brad Pitt requires certain conditions, including the signing of a clause so that the actress keeps silent the facts that led to their divorce. Clause that she did not sign. She also asks him to 250 million dollars in damages.
