Years after their separation, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are still fighting in court over their shared wine company.
The ex-couple own Miraval, a French winery they bought in 2008, and are still fighting over its fate. They seemingly came to an agreement, but Angelina reportedly stepped away from the deal due to a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) Brad asked her to sign.
According to legal documents obtained by The Mirror that were filed Thursday, Angelina said the NDA was "designed to limit [her] freedom to speak" due to its "restrictive language." But Brad recently filed a complaint saying that when the two were divorcing, Angelina's team "proposed an even broader, mutual non-disparagement clause," according to the legal documents.

The actor says that he now wants the judge to force Angelina to hand over previous NDAs that they signed to prove that his wasn't half as bad as those.

This comes as Angelina filed her own motion this week that accused her ex-husband of being abusive before the alleged plane incident in 2016 that ended their marriage. In the filing, it claims: "While Pitt's history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well. Jolie then immediately left him."

Her lawyer Paul Murphy also accused Brad of "unrelenting efforts to control and financially drain" Angelina through legal battles.
A source close to Brad told The Mirror: "This is a pattern of behavior — whenever there is a decision that goes against the other side they consistently choose to introduce misleading, inaccurate and/or irrelevant information as a distraction. There was a lengthy custody trial that involved the entire history of their relationship and a judge who heard all the evidence still granted him 50/50 custody."
