Previously, in a new document submitted to the Los Angeles Superior Court on May 9 regarding the joint property lawsuit at Château Miraval (France), 

Brad Pitt’s legal team quoted Tony Webb, the owner of the security company SRS Global that provided security services to Angelina Jolie and her family from 2000 to 2020, 

claiming that a bodyguard had overheard the 7X actress asking her children to stay away from the Bullet Train actor during visits.

Webb added that Angelina’s assistant also contacted him to warn two independent bodyguards not to testify in the divorce lawsuit in 2016.

On behalf of the Without Blood director, lawyer Paul Murphy criticized Brad Pitt’s side for deliberately steering public opinion in a direction favorable to the actor.

“Mr. Pitt continues to conflate general NDAs for security guards and housekeepers, which cover confidential information that employees learn at work, 

with his request for an expanded NDA to ensure his own embarrassing actions are covered. This is not about NDAs in general, it is about power and control. 

All Angelina wants is separation and health, with positive relationships between the members of their family, including Mr. Pitt. She looks forward to the day when he can finally let her go,” Murphy stressed.

According to legal papers obtained by the Daily Mail, Angelina objected and moved to dismiss the former bodyguard Webb’s statement, which Brad Pitt filed on May 9.

Angelina’s legal team accused Brad of serious violations of due process. Specifically, the actor failed to follow the general principle of making a motion that he is not allowed to introduce new evidence with his response. The documents filed by Angelina noted that Brad tried to gain an unfair advantage by introducing new evidence in a situation where Angelina had no opportunity to respond.

Angelina’s lawyers argued that Webb’s testimony was unrelated to the Château Miraval winery dispute that the two sides were pursuing, and did not even mention the word “Miraval” once. They argued that through Webb’s statement, Brad Pitt not only failed to sway public opinion, but also helped Angelina prove that the NDAs she signed with other parties were not related to this case.

According to the lawyer, Angelina objected to Brad’s bringing the story of two bodyguards testifying in another family court case into the winery dispute. The Hollywood actress also doubted the reliability and accuracy of Webb’s testimony because the former soldier was working for Brad.

Angelina accused Brad of the real purpose of providing Webb’s testimony was to create a press event, thereby putting outside pressure on his ex-wife. In fact, what Webb provided does not explain why the winery share purchase agreement between Angelina and Brad fell through.

“This statement is irrelevant and violates Jolie’s due process rights. The court should suspend the statement,” Angelina’s filing to the court emphasized.

Earlier, in early April, Angelina accused her ex-husband of forcing her to sign an NDA to keep silent about Brad’s domestic violence, in exchange for the actor agreeing to buy back the winery shares. Angelina asserted that because she did not agree, the two sides could not reach an agreement. In the end, Angelina sold the shares to a third party and Brad filed a lawsuit.

Brad Pitt denied his ex-wife’s accusations, counter-claiming that his ex-wife was the one who wanted him to sign an NDA to keep family matters secret, adding that Angelina had signed many other NDAs and asked her to make them public.

The disagreement in the former couple’s testimony led to the current back-and-forth. It is unclear who is telling the truth and who is lying, but the Daily Mail’s own sources revealed that Tony Webb was present when Brad Pitt allegedly attacked Jolie and their children on a flight from France to the US in 2016, leading to the 7X beauty’s decision to file for divorce.

“Webb was hired by Pitt, worked on the same security team that the other members stood on the airport tarmac in LA and turned a blind eye to Pitt’s actions that day. Webb’s statement ignores the fact that the second security guard, although called by Pitt to testify, gave testimony in favor of Angelina, not against her,” said a person familiar with the case.
