Yes, the abuse allegations are relevant due to her claim that she withdrew from negotiations due to his insistence on a gag order. If it's true that he was using the business transactions as a means to cover up his abuse, that's important. But he claims she withdrew because he won a key custody verdict and wanted to punish him, also that she wanted a mutual, broader NDA just a few months later. I'm inclined to think he's telling the truth here, but I also don't blame her for hating him for his abusive actions. |
Zzz
She's a broken record at this point. She probably thinks they if she repeats something enough times it'll make it true. No wonder Pitt divorced her. She's a psychopath. |
Maybe all of this is accurate - but think about what each of them say in public. She says terrible things about him and has alienated him from his children, deservedly or not. He has said nothing. His public response for the past decade has been mature and best for the children and everyone. Classy. Admirable. |
I guess it's going to depend on what exact part of the NDA she had a problem with.
They're both being vindictive but are obviously very hurt over each either. a spanish actress said he thought she was Angelina for a second (she doesn't but he has a facial blindness disorder) and told her friend she looked looked like angelina. they said his mood changed and he sounded down about it. This happened just last year at his Bablyon premiere. I don't really buy his act that he's moved on and very happy/very strong with his new gf or whatever his PR says every week. |
..she left him. |
His team has most certainly said things about her over the years. Hiding behind them doesn't make him exempt. This is not one sided at all. |
Seems like he can probably prove her covert sale of her part of the winery was pre textual and vindictive rather than related to an NDA:
The filing also alleged Jolie was the one to present “an even broader” NDA agreement while Pitt’s team presented a “standard” NDA, solely intended to “intended to protect the business. “The clause also made clear that there would be no limitation on Jolie’s ability to speak in connection with Pitt and Jolie’s divorce or custody proceedings,” the documents read. “It specifically provided: This commitment shall however not limit the ability, for any Party, to make any claims, filings or testimony in any legal proceedings.” |
As far as I can tell, he's been very restrained and only defended himself, keeping it short. I'm sure he has a ton of dirt on her, including mental health issues and emotional instability, but he hasn't said (or leaked) a word. Maybe because it would mean mutually assured destruction, if they both then release all the dirt on each other, or because it would further alienate the kids if he trashes their mother and releases sensitive information. I've also always thought he had a gentlemanly streak, which is part of it. |
Spot on. |
Hard to tell without seeing all the commitments involved. She bought up discussions about having an NDA in their divorce settlement a year after but they never set anything up. |
Well this seems key. Let's see if the documents back up his assertions. Although my guess is that the sale was her being punitive, I also don't blame her for pushing for individualized parenting plans. I mean, why not have a tailored therapeutic plan for each child? The older kids had been through a lot. There were a number of blinds about Pitt being falling-down-drunk while traveling alone with Maddox, well before the plane incident. That didn't come out of nowhere. The younger kids were more open to spending time with him. Seems reasonable to meet each kid where s/he was at that time. Although I sympathize with her efforts there, again I do think she was probably trying to punish him with the sale to an undesirable business partner. |
The stories coming from his team (hers as well) are anything but short or sweet. He has mentioned her lacking emotional regulatio and just a few weeks ago compared her. It's constant between both them. |
This is a weird thread. |
Even drunks still get to see their kids.
He quickly got clean and presented no danger, yet she fought to keep the kids away from him. It’s shocking any court allowed this. Re: individual plans - Nope. You don’t let young kids decide such things…especially when mom is aggressively turning the kids against him. |
He was a fool to make her an equal partner in Miraval. Seems like it will be easy to establish whether the NDA was a "standard business" one or something more. But isn't the key issue the fact that they didn't have anything stipulated in writing about one or the other selling their piece ? The oral contract argument seems bogus and that, even if it sucked for him and was punitive and unfair, she was within her rights to sell. |
