Angelina Jolie's Lawyers Claim Brad Pitt's Alleged 'Physical Abuse' Toward Her Began Before 2016 Jet Incident

A new motion filed by the actress' lawyers includes a new allegation against Brad Pitt amid their battle over a French vineyard.

Conversely, a close friend of Pitt -- who is familiar with the litigation over the years -- tells ET that the latest claims of abuse are part of "a pattern of behavior" for Jolie and her legal team. Getting to the heart of the motion, Jolie's lawyers argued that the court should compel Pitt to provide answers regarding the demand for a new and wider ranging NDA. By refusing to buy her interest but then suing her, Mr. Pitt put directly at issue why that NDA was so important to him and what he hoped it would bury: his abuse of Ms. Jolie and their family.
