Jolie says the statement is not relevant to the case at hand, but Pitt disagrees.

Tony claimed that one of the contractors told him he would testify regardless of an NDA. He claimed the contractor said he would testify that he heard Jolie encourage her children not to spend time with Brad during custody visits.

The statement was filed by Brad as he battles Angelina over NDAs in their court war. The actor demanded she turn over all previous non-disclosure agreements she had had third parties sign after she accused him of trying to get her to sign a non-disclosure agreement that would prevent her from talking about his alleged “personal misconduct.”

Now, in a newly filed response, Angelina has asked the court to remove the statement from the file.

She said: “Pitt is clearly trying to gain an unfair advantage by offering this disputed evidence for the first time in response while Jolie has no opportunity to respond.”

Her attorney added: “The Webb statement has no relevance to this case or to the issue presented by Pitt’s motion. In fact, the Webb Statement, which does not mention the word “Miraval” once, serves to demonstrate exactly why other NDAs involved other parties and other The circumstances are irrelevant and will – as Jolie predicted in her opposition letter – trigger a mini-trial against any NDA that Pitt claims is relevant to this case.”

“Pitt now claims that conversations with two ‘contractors’ (guards) about testimony in another case are somehow relevant here. Jolie disputes its relevance, its credibility (Webb works for Pitt) and its accuracy,” the lawyer added. Angelina accused Brad of filing the statement to “create a press event and once again put external pressure on Jolie.”

A judge has yet to make a ruling.

The legal drama started when Pitt sued Jolie in 2022. He accused her of breaking a deal not to sell her stake in a $164 million estate. The couple purchased the property during their marriage with the plan to pass it on to their children.

Pitt said he has spent a lot of time and money building a successful winery. In 2021, Angelina emailed Brad saying she wanted to sell her stake. Pitt and his business partners proposed a deal worth more than $50 million to Angelina.

However, talks fell apart following a development in the custody battle between Angelina and Brad. The actress sold her stake to a third party called Stoli, run by a Russian oligarch named Yuri Shelfer.

Brad demanded that the court rule that Angelina needed approval to sell. He accused the oligarch and his team of attempting a “hostile takeover” of Chateau.

In response, the company that sold Jolie to Stoli, Nouvel, filed a $350 million countersuit against Brad, accusing him of misusing company resources. He denied the allegations.
