Angelina Jolie has urged her ex-husband Brad Pitt to drop his legal case against her so that her family can start to “heal”.The Lara Croft: Tomb Raider star was in a 12-year relationship with the Fight Club actor, but they have been tangled in legal action for several years relating to their shared wine business, and now Jolie has made the plea for the current lawsuit to be dropped.The former couple’s dispute over their French winery Château Miraval stems back to 2022, when Pitt sued Jolie for allegedly attempting to sell her share of the business without his prior consent.Jolie claims that Pitt blocked her sale of the property and would only agree if he agreed to a “more onerous” and “expansive” non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
Jolie has previously suggested that Pitt wanted her to sign an NDA to stop her speaking out about his alleged abusive behaviour towards her and her children.Now, Jolie’s representative Paul Murphy has said: “While Angelina again asks Mr.
Pitt to end the fighting and finally put their family on a clear path toward healing, unless Mr. Pitt withdraws his lawsuit, Angelina has no choice but to obtain the evidence necessary to prove his allegations wrong.”Earlier this year, Jolie’s lawyers labelled Pitt’s attempts to obtain her past NDAs with third parties as “abusive”.
In May, a judge ruled that Jolie would have to submit eight years of NDAs.“Mr. Pitt has control of all the properties the couple shared as well as control of the business, but still he demands more, and is suing Angelina for $67 million plus punitive damages,” Murphy added.
