The lawyer further added that Pitt owned everything he was responsible for, unlike the ‘other side.’ Moreover, the actor’s spokesperson also called the allegations untrue after Angelina Jolie’s new court documents detailed multiple abuse allegations against him.

Angelina Jolie’s allegations
Angelina Jolie reportedly filed court papers through which she accused Brad Pitt of attacking her and their children in an intoxicated state during a plane ride in 2016. The incident reportedly prompted her to file for a divorce against the actor. The countersuit from her side comes after Pitt sued the actress in February over selling her stake in one of their French wineries claiming their agreement stating that neither would sell the same without the other’s consent.
The alleged court document specifies an alleged incident that happened on a private plane on September 14, 2016, five days before the actress filed for a divorce while claiming that her ex-husband attacked her and her kids. The actress also alleges that the actor got into an argument with one of their children, who, at that time, were aged between 8 to 15 years. Jolie also accused Pitt of verbally abusing her and claimed that he grabbed her by the head and also shook her. He then allegedly grabbed her shoulders and pushed her into the private plane’s bathroom wall.
