ππ₯ Angelina Jolie Pours the Tea π΅ on Alleged Brad Pitt Abuse, Shakes Up the Legal Vineyard π
TL;DR; π² Our favorite Tomb Raider, Angelina Jolie, tosses a grenade π£ in Brad Pittβs direction with a cross complaint, dropping deets about some not-so-Brad behavior back in 2016 that allegedly played a part in the coupleβs split. But itβs not just about past drama β this is a wine battle π·, folks! Ang wants to sell her share in the winery they co-own, but Pitt ainβt playing nice, with a nondisclosure agreement that looks suspiciously like a muzzle. π€« The tea is scorching hot, ladies and gents! π΅π₯
In a court filing straight outta Hollywood, Angelina Jolie β the woman who taught us how to raid tombs and look stunning while doing it β has painted a picture of Brad Pitt thatβs less βInglorious Basterdsβ and more βHorrifying Hubbieβ. π Jolie alleges Pittβs behavior went nuclear on a private plane in 2016, leading to the death π of Brangelina.
A major bone of contention in the legal battle? A vineyard π the two used to lovingly cultivate together. Now, the winery is at the heart of their war. Jolieβs lawyers have stated that efforts to sell her share of the wine empire have crashed and burned because of Pittβs demand for her to sign a nondisclosure agreement. An agreement that would essentially sew her lips shut about alleged physical and emotional abuse suffered by her and their children at his hands. Makes you wonder, doesnβt it? Whatβs really fermenting in those wine barrels? π·π€
According to the filing, during a family trip from France π«π· to California π΄, Pitt allegedly went into meltdown mode. The court document claims he βchoked one of the children and struck another in the faceβ, βgrabbed Jolie by the head and shook her,β and β in a shocking turn of events β βpoured beer on Jolie; at another, he poured beer and red wine on the children.β Federal authorities were alerted but declined to file criminal charges. Still, the whole ordeal led Jolie to file for divorce just days after the incident. π©ββοΈ
Mr. Pitt, on the other hand, maintains a different stance. His lawyer, Anne Kiley, says that while heβs owned up to some past mistakes, heβs not about to play the fall guy for things he claims he didnβt do.
π€·ββοΈ Are we looking at an ugly, messy tale of two Hollywood superstars caught up in a toxic whirlwind, or a clever ruse spun to gain an upper hand in the bitter wine battle? Whatβs the real story behind the allegations? More importantly, is it right to use such serious allegations as bargaining chips in a business dispute? Over to you, folks. Letβs hear your thoughts. π
