Angelina Jolie Reflects on “Painful Events” Behind Brad Pitt Divorce
In a striking revelation, Angelina Jolie has opened up about the emotional turmoil that led to her divorce from Brad Pitt, shedding light on the painful memories tied to their once-shared French winery, Chateau Miraval. In a recent court declaration, Jolie disclosed that neither she nor their six children have set foot on the estate since she filed for divorce in 2016, marking a poignant chapter in their tumultuous relationship.
Jolie’s declaration, submitted to a California court on October 9, highlights the difficult circumstances surrounding their separation. “The events leading to my need to separate from my ex-husband were emotionally difficult for me and our children,” she stated, emphasizing the lasting impact of their split. Following the divorce filing, Jolie relinquished control of their family homes in Los Angeles and Miraval, hoping to ease tensions during a “difficult and traumatic period.”
The actress refrained from detailing the specific incidents that prompted her decision, but her divorce came on the heels of a reported altercation on a flight in which she alleged that Pitt verbally and physically assaulted her and one of their children—claims that Pitt has categorically denied.
As the legal battle over Miraval unfolds, Jolie recounted the emotional weight of discussions regarding the sale of her shares in the winery, a significant investment for the couple and a cornerstone of their family life. “To have such a sudden break from my home and memories has been hard,” she lamented.
Jolie also revealed that Pitt’s offer to buy her shares was contingent upon her agreeing to an expanded non-disclosure agreement, which she found “extremely painful” as an advocate for victims of violence. Ultimately, she chose to sell her shares to a third party rather than comply with what she described as a coercive demand.
As Pitt pursues legal action against Jolie for selling her shares without his permission, the saga continues to unravel, leaving fans and followers on the edge of their seats. E! News has reached out to Pitt’s representatives for comment but has yet to receive a response. The drama surrounding this former Hollywood power couple is far from over, and the world is watching closely.
