What did Angelina's lawyers add
The new report says, “Pitt apparently intends to argue that, over the past two decades, Jolie had or at least considered other NDAs with other people and entities, about other matters not in any way connected with Pitt’s abuse. He says he wants to argue that since Jolie considered and/or entered other NDAs over her lengthy career, his proposed NDA covering his spousal and child abuse couldn’t possibly have been the reason the deal collapsed."
The statement further continued that such a request would violate the rights of the other parties involved and the request serve no notice to them prior to this. “Forcing Jolie to spend the time and expense of gathering and producing all of this documentation is expensive, wasteful, and unreasonable — and the latest manifestation of Pitt’s abusive conduct toward Jolie. The Court should not allow it,” the statement concluded.
More details
Earlier, Angelina's legal team claimed that Pitt prohibited her from selling her shares in the winery until she signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). On April 5, lawyers representing Brad filed a motion in court demanding that Angelina Jolie disclose the number of gag orders or confidentiality agreements she has required her staff to sign. This came after her court documents that Brad Pitt was reportedly abusive towards Angelina Jolie before the infamous 2016 plane incident which involved their children.
