She has starred in numerous acclaimed films and blockbusters over the years. But Angelina Jolie has revealed her daughter Vivienne Jolie–Pitt, 15, is much more of a theater aficionado than a cinephile — and she ended up being a 'tough assistant' to her on her latest theatre project. The 48-year-old Oscar winner shared on Thursday at the Broadway premiere of the musical adaptation of The Outsiders — which she produced — that Vivienne was the 'biggest theatre head' of the family, according to People.'Viv. Definitely Viv,' she reiterated, while Justin Levine, who wrote the book and score to The Outsiders, chimed in: 'Definitely Viv.' 'Hands down,' the By The Sea filmmaker concurred as she arrived at the premiere with Vivienne and her son Pax Jolie–Pitt, 20.Angelina added that her daughter — a fraternal twin to son Knox — was a taskmaster for her. 'She’ll correct me. She’ll say, "Didn’t you read the memo? We have to do this, we have to go through this,"' she recalled.'She’s been a really tough assistant,' Angelina joked. 'She takes it very, very seriously.' Vivienne, whom she shares with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, took on The Outsiders after it was previously adapted as a critically acclaimed 1983 film by director Francis Ford Coppola, based on the 1967 novel by S.E. Hinton. The film featured a number of actors just at the start of their careers who would be labeled as part of the 'brat pack,' a group of rising stars who often acted together, including Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon, Emilio Estevez, as well as supplemental members Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze and Ralph Macchio. Jolie's youngest daughter was primed to work on The Outsiders after she caught another production in San Diego. Jolie was seen walking up to the theater with Pax by her side while wowing in a shimmering metallic gold gown teamed with a rust-hued cape.he star wore her blonde locks in soft waves and sported smoky eye make-up and red lipstick.Pax looked as if he could have been a Brat Pack member himself as he emanated low-key cool. He was dressed in a simple white T-shirt that he used to significantly dress down a black tuxedo jacket with slim notched lapels.
He paired it with black pants and added to his relaxed style with a pair of classic white sneakers.The celebrity child sported a thin mustache and wore his shaggy hair slicked back. Vivienne wore a stylish blue boiler suit and styled her long hair with a side part for the event as she joined the cast and her mother on the red carpet.Pax appeared to steer clear of the red carpet while leaving his mother and sister to join the other members of the production. After catching the show, the trio headed out to the swanky restaurant Cipriani for dinner. Pax was seen walking next to his mother, while Vivienne hung back to chat with a friend. In a statement last year, Jolie said that her daughter, 'reminds me of my mother in that she isn't focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives.' 'She's very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute,' the actress continued. 'I hope to be able to contribute while continuing to learn from this amazing team, who I have been working with since my daughter brought me to see the show at La Jolla Playhouse.' 'I can't begin to express how excited I am for this musical to make its Broadway debut and look forward to sharing this new adaptation of The Outsiders with the world.' The outing comes after Angelina, who is embroiled in a lawsuit with ex-husband Brad Pitt, 60, over their French vineyard, claimed via her legal team that Pitt was physically abusive to her before their 2016 row on a plane, in newly-filed legal documents linked to the former pair's battle over the winery.On Thursday, attorneys for Jolie filed papers in a motion in Los Angeles County Superior Court, saying that Pitt had a history of being physically aggressive with Jolie before the well-documented September 14, 2016 row during a flight from Nice, France to L.A.Pitt has denied all of the allegations of physical abuse, and was not charged amid an FBI probe into the incident; Dailymail.com has reached out to Pitt's reps for comment on the story.
'While Pitt's history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family's September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well,' Jolie's legal team said in court docs about the ongoing legal proceedings. A source close to the Maleficent actress said that Pitt declined to enter into counseling for domestic violence, and disregarded severe family problems by seeking partial custody of their six children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15. 'Pitt never came to this understanding and not only sought 50-50 custodial time - including with children with whom he had not had a stable relationship in years - but also sought sole custody if the children did not sufficiently bond with him,' Jolie's lawyers told the court in legal docs.Jolie's legal team said in their court filing Thursday that 'despite this distressing request, Jolie still did not seek sole custody' of the children. 'Instead she advocated that the children's wishes and needs be prioritized, based in part on what the children felt they could do, and for a custody plan formulated in the children's best interest to heal.' Jolie's lawyer Paul Murphy told Dailymail.com in a statement that the information released in Thursday's filing is revealing of why the Fight Club actor wanted Jolie to sign a non-disclosure agreement amid the parting. 'Mr. Pitt refused to purchase Ms. Jolie's interest when she would not be silenced by his NDA,' Murphy said. '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. After eight months of delays, this motion asks the Court to force Mr. Pitt to finally produce that evidence.'An insider close to the situation told Dailymail.com that the Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood actor has caused himself problems with his long-running litigation over the French winery.'Pitt is drawing all of this out of Angelina,' the insider said. 'She does not want to be here, she does not want to be raising any of these facts, and she is doing it only because Pitt's lawsuit against her is forcing her to defend herself.' The insider described the situation as 'incredibly sad,' adding that Jolie 'just wishes' Pitt 'could move on and let her be.' By prolonging the legal battle over the winery - which the former couple purchased in 2008 for $28.4 million - Pitt has left himself more exposed to further problematic allegations that could circulate through the court system, and subsequently, to the public, the insider said. Pitt has since accused Jolie of being a 'hypocrite' due to claiming that he wanted her to sign an NDA to 'control' the actress amidst selling their French vineyard. The actor's lawyers informed the LA Superior Court on Friday that Jolie's claims regarding the NDA was simply a cover to 'rationalize' betraying Brad, per TMZ. His legal team also claimed that Angelina had asked Pitt to sign an NDA months later. Late last month in March, a source told DailyMail.com that the former couple's years-long divorce battle had been nearing the end and were in final negotiations.

Angelina Jolie looked incredible as she attended the Broadway opening night of her musical, The Outsiders, on Thursday. The Oscar-winning actress, 48, who is embroiled in a lawsuit with ex-husband Brad Pitt, 60, over their French vineyard, wowed in a shimmering metallic gold gown teamed with a rust-hued cape as she posed. The star wore her blonde locks in soft waves and sported smoky eye make-up and red lipstick.The Bone Collector star was joined by daughter Vivienne, 15 at the premiere.

Inside Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's BITTER divorce: As pair's split takes yet ANOTHER twisted turn, FEMAIL lays bare how their 'fairytale' marriage turned into a nightmare
- Details

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's marriage was one of the most talked about unions in Hollywood while they were riding high as one of the industry's most high-profile couples. But their split has arguably become an even bigger discussion point with their legal battle being drawn out over years after an alleged argument on a plane that ended their relationship. Just last week DailyMail.com reported that the 48-year-old actress and mother-of-six accused her 60-year-old estranged spouse of being physically and emotionally abusive before the private jet incident in 2016.'Pitt's history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family's plane trip from France to Los Angeles… this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well,' her attorneys claim in newly released court papers. The court papers claimed that Jolie had evidence of 'Pitt's history of physical abuse of the family and control abuse of Jolie' and alleged the children continued to experience 'significant and ongoing post-traumatic stress.' Pitt has denied all allegations of physical abuse and was not charged following an FBI probe into the incident on the flight. The once golden couple, who met on the set of 2005's Mr. & Mrs. Smith while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston, adopted one son, Pax, and welcomed daughter Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne during their tumultuous relationship. As their bitter legal battle continues, FEMAIL has delved into how Pitt and Jolie's relationship came together and fell apart - from the controversial beginning of their romance to their eventual split that has led to reports of a family feud and allegations of abuse.Pitt and Jolie's relationship had a controversial start after the pair met on the set of their action-romance movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith, while he was still married to Aniston in 2003. hough the couple denied their romance had blossomed then, the alleged love triangle narrative would hang over their union for years to come. Jolie herself told Vogue in 2006 that they didn't realize until the end of shooting that their friendship might have been something more and neither was looking for a relationship at the time. She said the pair 'remained very, very good friends' when they finished work on the film.'I think we were both the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn't. I was quite content to be a single mom,' Jolie told the fashion bible. 'Because of the film we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened.'
She added: 'And then life developed in a way where we could be together, where it felt like something we would do, we should do.' In an interview with the New York Times in 2008, she described Mr. & Mrs. Smith as 'the movie where their parents fell in love' when asked if her kids had seen it. During shooting, sources on the film said that Jolie would show up at Pitt's trailer and tell him: 'Maddox would like to say "Hi."' Pitt was enchanted – by the boy and his mother. Eventually the actor and his then wife, Aniston, separated in January 2005 before their divorce was finalized later in October. At the time, the former couple shut down accusations that they were going their separate ways due to infidelity through a joint statement that read, 'Our separation is not the result of any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media.' During his relationship with Jolie, he also formally adopted her son, Maddox, in 2006.The first thing to note is that there was nothing conventional about the experiment in family living conducted by Pitt and Jolie. For instance, in an interview with W Magazine, the actress revealed she taken her then seven-year-old son, Maddox, blade shopping. Jolie shared that her own mother had taken her to 'buy her first daggers when she was 11 or 12,' adding that she had 'already bought Maddox some' from a 'special shop,' she told the publication as per Today. But she stressed that the knives did not have any sharp edges, adding: 'We also talk about samurais and about the idea of defending someone as good. We talk about everything.' In another interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jolie revealed that a then six-year-old Maddox drew a picture of a machine gun on her Mother's Day card – and Pitt had the image made into a gold trinket to hang on a chain. 'He's (Maddox) all into war and guns. So for Mother's Day he drew a machine-gun, and Brad had it made into a necklace, which is really sweet. It's really cute,' she gushed. According to sources in France, where the family spent holidays at the Chateau Miraval, the children 'always ruled the roost,' DailyMail.com reported.It seems that an 'anything goes' principle applied for the family of three adopted children - Maddox, from Cambodia, Pax from Vietnam, and Zahara an orphan from Ethiopia - plus twins Knox and Violet, and daughter Shiloh.
At home there were no rules, except that the children weren't encouraged to make any friends outside of the family circle. For a time, Maddox liked to speak French, even though the rest of the family, with the exception of his mother and brother Pax, struggled with the language. Shiloh, for some time, only answered to the name of John and dressed in boy's clothes, including neckties and fedora hats. The habit arose because of her passion for the Peter Pan movie. One former nanny, who quit in despair, reportedly said that the children insisted on breakfasting on items like pizza or chocolate, and enjoyed a diet of junk food, particularly Cheetos. A source told DailyMail.com that the nannies varied in number between six and nine, with each having one child as their key responsibility. They were, the insider claimed, rotated every six months to prevent the attachment becoming too settled. When Shiloh was three and Zahara five, both would carry blankies, even on a trip to the grocery store, with photographers capturing the youngsters with their comforters on several occasions.Jolie started her family in 2002. Having filmed Tomb Raider in Cambodia, she decided that she wanted to adopt an orphaned Cambodian baby – even though her second marriage to actor Billy Bob Thornton had recently ended. She later said: 'Our marriage was falling apart before I adopted and by the time Maddox came home, Billy and I were apart.' As the scandal over Pitt's marriage breakup with Aniston raged, she was spotted playing with Maddox in Central Park, looking the picture of loving motherhood. Meanwhile Jolie's own father Jon Voight was not convinced by her reinvention as the ultimate mother. When she adopted Maddox he begged her to seek help for the 'serious symptoms of real problems' he thought she showed. Voight added, bluntly: 'She has never been normal.' Born on June 4, 1975, she is the daughter of actor Voight and French-Canadian actress Marcheline Bertrand. Her parents separated in 1976, and she and her brother, James, were then raised by their mother.Apparently, she took her parents' breakup hard, and the relationship with her father has since been difficult. She struggled to get over the fact that he was not faithful to her mother, and she spent years watching him from afar, wishing that they had more of a relationship. 'My mom was in a lot of pain. My father had an affair, and then there were a lot of challenges with child support and alimony,' she told the Guardian in 2021. 'I didn't feel that close to my father,' she also shared in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2017. 'I felt more of my mother's daughter when I was a child.'
As a teenager, she was sexually precocious, moving her 16-year-old boyfriend into the family home when she was 14. By her own account, she even tried drugs. Writer Ian Halperin said in his recent book about Brangelina that she was sent to see the school therapist and claimed that a report written about her by the medical professional, and seen by him, said that she was 'inclined towards anti-social psychopathy' – a serious and startling claim.Psychopathy is characterized by a lack of empathy, coupled with a use of charisma, manipulation, sex, violence, and intimidation. She previously self-harmed, once telling an interviewer: 'I collected knives and always had certain things around. 'For some reason, the ritual of having cut myself and feeling the pain, maybe feeling alive, feeling some kind of release, it was somehow therapeutic to me.' By the time she was a mother, her own mother was engaged in a long and devastating battle with breast cancer. She died in 2007, aged 56, after being diagnosed in 1999. Perhaps she felt that the experience would act as a bulwark against the coming grief; however, Jolie was conflicted about having a baby of her own, and opted to adopt. 'Having a child of my own would make me feel that there was a child out there who did not have a home because I had chosen to have a baby,' she told an interviewer in 2005.Both of them worked periodically, and the whole family spent years crisscrossing the globe. They settled at one time in New Orleans, and in France, and called a myriad of hotels a temporary home. Jolie at one time would rent a suite at a Los Angeles hotel, even though she and Pitt had property in Hollywood. Reports published in a number of US magazines at the time claimed that the actress used to ask for the suite that she had booked for her mother when she was ill, and would go up to her room and spend time alone and weep. Pitt struggled with managing the relationship and the spotlight; he would drink heavily and said more than once that he would wake up still drunk from the previous night. His friend, director Quentin Tarantino, alluded to his pot-smoking habit, which Jolie disapproved of. One hotel employee, Anna Kowalski, alleged that Jolie and Pitt habitually slept in separate rooms from as early as 2010, years before their split, and had little to do with each other, with Jolie sitting alone drinking wine in the bedroom of the suite, and Pitt sitting in another room with a beer.
As the kids grew older, she found a passion for charitable missions, and would bring them along. Zahara and Shiloh were taken to Ethiopia to scout locations for a medical center, while Maddox went to Iraq as a birthday treat.As the marriage entered its final year, Jolie's brother James moved in with her and Pitt, having been hired as the chief nanny to their brood. He was her great support - who can forget their unsettling kiss on the Oscars red carpet in 2000 – and according to a DailyMail.com source, having James around stoked the tensions which ended the marriage. That insider claimed that relations were so sour between the two men of the house that Pitt used to make James fly economy when the rest of the family were in first class. And some magazines suggested that the younger children had fallen into the habit of calling James 'Dad' by the summer of 2016. Soon after the split, though, the arrangement was terminated – the reason being that he was simply worn out by the 'shattering' job. Since the breakup, there has been endless court-appointed therapy for the children, who shuttle between their warring parents in their respective LA homes via chauffeur cars, accompanied by security.Last week, DailyMail.com revealed Pitt's alleged last words in their marriage were in new legal court papers. As he stood on the steps of the private jet that brought him, Jolie and their six children from their home in France to Los Angeles in September 2016, it was claimed he uttered: 'F*** you. F*** you all.' For good measure, according to Jolie, he called her a 'bitch' and 'shook her' by the head and shoulders. What started out as an altercation apparently between him and one of the children turned — she says — into a physical fight during which he poured beer and wine over his family and injured his wife by throwing himself backwards into a row of seats while she was clinging to his back. However, in a new legal move, the actress claimed that Pitt was physically and emotionally abusive to her before that point.'Pitt's history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family's plane trip from France to Los Angeles… this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well,' her attorneys claim in newly released court papers. The court papers claim that the actress had evidence of 'Pitt's history of physical abuse of the family and control abuse of Jolie,' and claimed the children continued to experience 'significant and ongoing post-traumatic stress.' Attorneys for Jolie refer to a 'history of abuse, control and cover-ups' and claim she had 'testimony, emails, photographs, and other evidence' which, they said, would show how Pitt tried to conceal his behavior if they came to trial. The actor's denials of physical abuse was described in the court documents as 'gaslighting.' Additionally, it claimed he exerted 'coercive' financial control over her via their dispute over the Miraval wine-making business as their divorce drags on over the past seven years. Separate legal documents seen by DailyMail.com show that the actress claimed she walked out of talks to sell her part of the vineyard to Pitt for $54 million because of standard non-disparagement clause in his proposed contract for the sale.
She claimed that it was an 'unconscionable' attempt by her ex-partner to 'control her' after their split. Pitt's lawyers told LA Superior Court on Friday that Jolie's NDA objection was really just a cover story which she cooked-up to 'rationalize' her betrayal of Pitt, as first reported by TMZ. The Fight Club star's attorneys also claim that she asked for Pitt to sign a broader NDA just six months later as part of their divorce settlement talks. Part of their motion asks for Jolie to disclose any other NDAs that she entered into with third parties - including her own personal staff. Pitt's lawyers argued that disclosure of her NDAs would ultimately discredit Jolie's arguments over why she abandoned the talks with her estranged husband.Court documents state: 'If Jolie conditioned her continued employment of an individual on that individual's agreement to an NDA covering what they witnessed in her home—including her treatment of her children and Pitt—that would be highly probative of whether she truly believed the provision requested by Pitt was an "unconscionable gag order." 'The same is true with respect to any NDA between Jolie and any third party with whom she is in a relationship or who has assisted with the care of the couple's children. 'To the extent that Jolie requested this third party's silence about her family or home life, particularly in a circumstance where there was no business justification, it would speak volumes about whether Jolie actually viewed Pitt's requested NDA, which was linked to the Miraval business, as the deal-ender she subsequently alleged it to be.' Previously in March this year, DailyMail.com reported that the couple were finally approaching the finish line in their epic legal war, with an end expected by the summer after the actor reportedly dropped his pursuit seeking shared custody. While Pitt had originally sought a 50/50 arrangement relating to their six kids, an insider revealed that he was no longer contesting the matter. That means that Jolie would retain primary physical custody of the children and he would have visitation rights. One factor in that decision was that much of their brood had 'aged out' - only Shiloh, 17, Knox, and Vivienne, both 15, are still under 18 - and Shiloh will pass that milestone in May. The older children - Maddox 22, Pax, 20, and Zahara, 19 - are thought to have difficult relationships with Brad, as DailyMail.com has previously reported, and as adults, in the eyes of the law, are now not covered by any custody agreements. Adopted son Pax allegedly hasn't spoken to the Fight Club alum since the now-infamous private plane fight which ended the marriage, and is said to not even regard Brad as a parent anymore. Back in 2020, on his private Instagram account, he called Brad a 'world class a**hole' and 'despicable person' who made his four youngest children 'tremble in fear,' as previously revealed by DailyMail.com. He added in the scathing post, shared on Father's Day: 'You time and time and again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person.'You have no consideration or empathy toward your four youngest children who tremble in fear when in your presence. 'You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you're incapable of doing so.' In addition, Zahara now goes by 'Zahara Jolie' rather than 'Zahara Jolie Pitt,' which is her legal name

Angelina Jolie put on a classy display in an all-black ensemble alongside her mini-me daughter, Vivienne, during an outing in New York City on Saturday. The Maleficent actress, 48 - who recently accused Brad Pitt of being 'physically abusive' towards her before infamous 2016 row on plane - enjoyed a shopping spree wit the teen, 15, in the Big Apple. The star sported a pair of black, loose-fitting trousers as well as a lace top underneath, which was partially concealed by a long, black coat. She slipped into a pair of black, heeled boots to complete her monochromatic look for the daytime excursion. Jolie's long locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly flowed down straight past her shoulders. She accessorized the outfit with a pair of dainty, gold earrings as well as black shades that offered a fashionable flare. A tan-colored purse was placed on her right shoulder to hold a few items she needed while spending quality time with her daughter. Vivienne dressed down in a gray, Nike sweatshirt as well as light blue jeans and comfy sneakers. The mother daughter duo were seen strolling side-by-side and held smiles on their faces while having a light-hearted conversation. They each also carried large paper bags while making their way through the bustling city streets over the weekend. Earlier this week on Wednesday, both Angelina and Vivienne attended the opening night of the musical titled, The Outsiders - which is currently in its preview stages. The two notably have been working together on the project due to the teenager being interested in theater. Vivienne first saw a production of the musical in San Diego. In a statement last year, Jolie said that her daughter, 'reminds me of my mother in that she isn't focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives.' 'She's very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute,' the actress continued. 'I hope to be able to contribute while continuing to learn from this amazing team, who I have been working with since my daughter brought me to see the show at La Jolla Playhouse.' 'I can't begin to express how excited I am for this musical to make its Broadway debut and look forward to sharing this new adaptation of The Outsiders with the world.'
Angelina's latest outing on Saturday comes after her legal team said Brad Pitt was physically abusive to her before their 2016 row on a plane, in newly-filed legal documents linked to the former pair's battle over their French winery. Attorneys on Thursday for Jolie filed papers in a motion in Los Angeles County Superior Court, saying that Pitt had a history of being physically aggressive with Jolie before the well-documented September 14, 2016 row during a flight from Nice, France to L.A. Pitt has denied all of the allegations of physical abuse, and was not charged amid an FBI probe into the incident; Dailymail.com has reached out to Pitt's reps for comment on the story. 'While Pitt's history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family's September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well,' Jolie's legal team said in court docs about the ongoing legal proceedings. A source close to the Maleficent actress said that Pitt declined to enter into counseling for domestic violence, and disregarded severe family problems by seeking partial custody of their six children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15.'Pitt never came to this understanding and not only sought 50-50 custodial time - including with children with whom he had not had a stable relationship in years - but also sought sole custody if the children did not sufficiently bond with him,' Jolie's lawyers told the court in legal docs. Jolie's legal team said in their court filing Thursday that 'despite this distressing request, Jolie still did not seek sole custody' of the children. 'Instead she advocated that the children's wishes and needs be prioritized, based in part on what the children felt they could do, and for a custody plan formulated in the children's best interest to heal.' Jolie's lawyer Paul Murphy told Dailymail.com in a statement that the information released in Thursday's filing is revealing of why the Fight Club actor wanted Jolie to sign a non-disclosure agreement amid the parting.'Mr. Pitt refused to purchase Ms. Jolie's interest when she would not be silenced by his NDA,' Murphy said. '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. After eight months of delays, this motion asks the Court to force Mr. Pitt to finally produce that evidence.'
An insider close to the situation told Dailymail.com that the Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood actor has caused himself problems with his long-running litigation over the French winery.'Pitt is drawing all of this out of Angelina,' the insider said. 'She does not want to be here, she does not want to be raising any of these facts, and she is doing it only because Pitt's lawsuit against her is forcing her to defend herself.'The insider described the situation as 'incredibly sad,' adding that Jolie 'just wishes' Pitt 'could move on and let her be.'By prolonging the legal battle over the winery - which the former couple purchased in 2008 for $28.4 million - Pitt has left himself more exposed to further problematic allegations that could circulate through the court system, and subsequently, to the public, the insider said. Pitt has since accused Jolie of being a 'hypocrite' due to claiming that he wanted her to sign an NDA to 'control' the actress amidst selling their French vineyard. The actor's lawyers informed the LA Superior Court on Friday that Jolie's claims regarding the NDA was simply a cover to 'rationalize' betraying Brad, per TMZ. His legal team also claimed that Angelina had asked Pitt to sign an NDA months later. Late last month in March, a source told DailyMail.com that the former couple's years-long divorce battle had been nearing the end and were in final negotiations.

Brad Pitt has branded ex-wife Angelina Jolie a hypocrite for claiming he wanted to use an NDA in the sale of their French vineyard to 'control' her – despite regularly gagging her own staff with similar contracts.Pitt, 60, and Jolie, 48, have been locked in a bitter battle over their French vineyard and home after the Tomb Raider star sold her $64million stake to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler in 2021.The Chateau Miraval estate, which produces an award-winning sparkling rosé, is at the center of a long-running court battle between the pair.Legal documents seen by DailyMail.com show that the actress claimed she walked out of talks to sell her part of the vineyard to Pitt for $54million because of standard non-disparagement clause in his proposed contract for the sale.She claims that it was an 'unconscionable' attempt by her ex-partner to 'control her' after their split.Pitt's lawyers told LA Superior Court on Friday that Jolie's NDA objection was really just a cover story which she cooked-up to 'rationalize' her betrayal of Pitt, as first reported by TMZ. The Fight Club stars attorneys also claim that she asked for Pitt to sign a broader NDA just six months later as part of their divorce settlement talks.Part of their motion asks for Jolie to disclose any other NDA's that she entered into with third parties - including her own personal staff.They argue that it could 'undermine her defense' and is the latest twist in the so-called 'War of the Rosés' between the former Hollywood couple.Pitt's lawyers argue that disclosure of her NDAs will ultimately discredit Jolie's arguments over why she abandoned the talks with her estranged husband.Court documents state: 'If Jolie conditioned her continued employment of an individual on that individual's agreement to an NDA covering what they witnessed in her home—including her treatment of her children and Pitt—that would be highly probative of whether she truly believed the provision requested by Pitt was an 'unconscionable gag order.''The same is true with respect to any NDA between Jolie and any third party with whom she is in a relationship or who has assisted with the care of the couple's children.'To the extent that Jolie requested this third party's silence about her family or home life, particularly in a circumstance where there was no business justification, it would speak volumes about whether Jolie actually viewed Pitt's requested NDA, which was linked to the Miraval business, as the deal-ender she subsequently alleged it to be.' A letter from Jolie's legal team dated April 2021 included her own draft non-disparagement agreement, along with a second from her US divorce lawyers six months after she pulled out of the sale which suggested an even broader NDA as part of their divorce.
Pitt's filing adds: 'The scope, terms, and subject matter covered by the NDAs that Jolie has signed or asked a third party to sign are probative of whether Jolie truly withdrew from the negotiations with Pitt because of the NDA he requested, as she asserts.'By way of example only, if Jolie has required others to sign NDAs that were at least as broad as the one she claims was so 'unconscionable' here, it would severely undermine her claimed excuse for terminating negotiations with Pitt and covertly negotiating with Stoli. Nor is the existence of these documents speculative.'Jolie is accused of 'adamant refusing' to produce other NDAs that she signed or requested others to sign, and insists that they are not relevant.It comes 24 hours after Jolie's team filed new documents which claimed that Pitt was physically abusive to her before their 2016 row on a plane which led to their split.Sources close to Pitt are accusing Jolie of making the filings to create 'a smokescreen' to distract from the issues central to the Chateau Miraval case.A friend told DailyMail.com: 'This case isn't about what took place on a plane in 2016.It's about whether they had an agreement not sell their interests in the winery and family home without the other's consent.'That's what Brad and his team are focused on, and so far the legal momentum has been on their side.'The NDA Jolie was asked to sign is a standard business contract designed to protect the asset being sold - in this case her stake in Chateau Miraval.'It's unclear why she finds this so unconscionable when her own lawyers suggested a mutually binding gagging clause as part of their divorce just a few months later.'The arguments come after Pitt has landed several legal victories in the battle for the winery including a key judgement in Luxembourg which handed him back control of the award-winning vineyard pending further hearings.Last month LA Superior court rejected the allegations that his suit was 'frivolous, malicious, and part of a problematic pattern.'
