Angelina Jolie accuses Brad Pitt of physical abuse in latest winery dispute filing

Los Angeles but does not provide further details. "At trial, Jolie will prove through testimony, emails, photographs, and other evidence why Pitt was so concerned about his own misconduct that he blew up his own deal to purchase Jolie's interest in Miraval because she refused to agree to his new, expansive NDA," the filing reads.

Jolie claims she initially agreed to sign an NDA that was “limited to not disparaging Miraval's wine business" as part of the deal to sell her stake in the winery. However, Pitt later insisted on a broader NDA that would have prevented Jolie from making “any derogatory remark about the other party" in a public forum other than in court.

“Mr Pitt refused to purchase Ms Jolie's interest when she would not be silenced by his NDA. By refusing to buy her interest but then suing her, Mr Pitt put directly at issue why that NDA was so important to him and what he hoped it would bury: his abuse of Ms Jolie and their family," Paul Murphy, Jolie's attorney, told CNN in a statement.
