A former security guard for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has accused the actress of trying to drive a wedge between the actor and their children.
In court documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight, an ex bodyguard for the former couple alleged his colleague overheard Angelina “encouraging the children to avoid spending time with Pitt during custody visits.”
The documents also alleged that the Maleficent star threatened the security guards into silence through NDAs.
The documents were filed as part of the former couple’s years-long legal battle over their Château Miraval vineyard and the subsequent use of NDAs.
According to the court documents, Tony “was the head of Jolie’s security detail for two decades, and he remained in that role for approximately four years after the couple divorced.”
He claimed Angelina “required him and his contractors to sign NDAs relating to various personal and professional details of her, and her family’s, life.”
The docs further claimed he “received multiple calls from Jolie’s representative, who told Mr. Webb to remind his staff that they had entered into NDAs with Jolie and that if they testified in a custody proceeding, Jolie would sue them,” following the famous couples divorce and subsequent custody legal battle.
Tony said that he told this to his contractors, and they both “confirmed that they had planned to testify if subpoenaed.”
The court documents further claimed “one of them told Webb that ‘he would testify about statements he overheard that Ms. Jolie made to the children, encouraging them to avoid spending time with Mr. Pitt during custody visits.'”
They also said “the two security contractors both testified” even after the alleged threat of being sued, but “shortly thereafter Jolie fired Mr. Webb’s company.”
Angelina’s attorney, Paul Murphy, released a statement to ET addressing these claims.
He said: “Mr. Pitt’s continued attempt to equate common NDAs for security personnel and housekeepers covering confidential information employees learn at work, with him demanding an expanded NDA to ensure the continued coverup of his deplorable actions remains shameful.”
“This case is not about NDAs in general, but about power and control.”
“All Angelina has ever wanted was separation and health, with positive relationships between all members of their family, including Mr. Pitt. She looks forward to the day when he is finally able to let her go,” he added.
This comes just weeks after Angelina accused Brad of being “physically aggressive” towards her long before the alleged 2016 plane incident.
The Maleficent actress filed a countersuit against her ex in October 2022, which included information about an alleged altercation between the pair which occurred on a plane back in 2016.
The 48-year-old has claimed this alleged incident is what led her to file for divorce from the 60-year-old.
