A lawyer for Brad Pitt has responded to abuse allegations that were detailed at length this week in a legal document filed by ex-wife Angelina Jolie, saying Pitt isn’t about to cop to any false accusations.
“Brad has owned everything he’s responsible for from day one — unlike the other side — but he’s not going to own anything he didn’t do,” attorney Anne Kiley said Thursday in a statement to the Associated Press.
While Jolie’s allegations made big headlines this week, they aren’t exactly new. The ones in this week’s filing nearly mirror those found in an FBI document that went public in August, with one notable addition: In the Tuesday filing, Jolie alleged Pitt choked one of his children in 2016 during the divorce-precipitating incident on a private flight from France to the U.S. It also alleges Pitt struck another child in the face.
