The recent legal developments involving Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have brought new allegations of Pitt's alleged abusive behavior to light. Jolie's legal team filed a motion earlier this month in support of her ongoing legal battle with Pitt over their French winery, Chateau Miraval. In this motion, Jolie's attorneys claimed that Pitt had been abusive towards her even before the well-known 2016 plane incident that led to their divorce.
According to Jolie's lawyers, Pitt's history of physical abuse towards her began prior to the 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, and this flight marked the first time he allegedly turned his physical abuse towards their children as well. These allegations have surfaced as part of the legal dispute over Chateau Miraval, as Jolie seeks to challenge any agreements made with Pitt regarding the winery.
While family law proceedings are typically confidential, civil disputes like the one over Chateau Miraval are subject to public disclosure, allowing such allegations to become part of the public record. However, it's important to note that previous court rulings granting Pitt 50-50 custody of their children suggest that the courts have not found sufficient evidence to support claims of abuse.
The timing and motivations behind these allegations coming to light now raise questions about their significance. Jolie may be leveraging these allegations as evidence of duress in her dealings with Pitt over Chateau Miraval, seeking to invalidate or renegotiate previous agreements. However, it's unclear whether Jolie has the upper hand in this legal battle, as previous court rulings have not favored her claims of abuse.

As their legal saga continues, it's evident that the acrimony between Jolie and Pitt remains unresolved. With significant financial interests and personal reputations at stake, their legal battle may continue for some time. Ultimately, reaching a resolution may require both parties to compromise and find a mutually acceptable outcome, but given the complexities of their situation, finding common ground may prove challenging.
