BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA JOLIE FINALLY REACH DIVORCE SETTLEMENT
Former Hollywood power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have reached a divorce settlement after eight years.
The news was confirmed by Jolie’s attorney who said the actress is “focused on finding peace and healing for their family”.
Jolie filed for divorce in 2016. As part of the papers filed, she cited an incident that took place on a plane ride between the United States and France. According to Jolie, Pitt “choked” one of their children and hit another during the flight.
The former couple met on set while they were filming the action comedy, Mr and Mrs Smith. At the time, Pitt was still married to fellow actress Jennifer Aniston.
Custody of the children hasn’t been the only reason for the ongoing battle. The couple also owned a wine farm in France, Chateau Miraval.
News24 reports that in February 2022, Pitt accused his one-time co-star of breaching his rights when she offloaded her share in the winery to a subsidiary of Stoli Group, which is owned by a Russian-born billionaire.
The 61-year-old Pitt accused the 49-year-old Jolie of “inflicting harm” upon him with the sale. It’s no secret that the group’s owner, Yuri Shefler has ties with Russian president Vladimir Putin.
