Because of their protracted legal dispute, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been in the news. The actor's lawyer has now come out about the same and called it a "personal attack" after recent court filings revealed Angelina Jolie accusing her ex-husband of a choking and striking incident involving their children during their 2016 private plane journey.

After Jolie's recent charges of abuse, Brad Pitt's attorney, Anne Kiley, told Page Six that the actor wouldn't be accepting responsibility for anything he didn't do. Kiley went on to say that "unlike the other side," the actor has taken ownership of everything for which he is accountable. The abuse claims against Pitt were outlined in new court records from Angelin. Pitt's representative called the claims baseless in a statement.

Allegations against Angelina Jolie

Details regarding the former couple's 2016 flight to Los Angeles were made public by Angelina Jolie, who then filed for divorce from Brad Pitt three days later. According to court records obtained by CNN, the actress has testified that Brad choked one of their children and hit another while intoxicated. He allegedly once grabbed Jolie by the shoulders, shook her, and then pushed her against the lavatory wall, according to Jolie. Despite the fact that no criminal charges were brought against Pitt as a result of the incident, according to FBI papers made public in August, it appears that all individuals involved were in agreement.
