Angelina Jolie encouraged children to avoid spending time with Brad Pitt, says former security guard

In the ongoing legal battle between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, a new set of allegations have emerged against Jolie. According to court documents filed by Tony Webb, a security guard who works for the former couple, Jolie may have influenced her children to “avoid” spending time with their father during visits.

Webb, who worked for Jolie from 2000 to 2020, alleged that he was contacted by a Jolie aide named Michael Vieira, who attempted to prevent two bodyguards from testifying in Jolie's custody battle with Pitt.

According to Webb's statement, Vieira asked him to dissuade the bodyguards from testifying since they had allegedly signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with Jolie.

Despite the NDAs, one of the bodyguards, Ross Foster, expressed his intention to testify about statements he allegedly overheard from Jolie where she encouraged the children to avoid spending time with Pitt during custody visits, reported People magazine.

Paul Murphy, an attorney for Angelina Jolie, dismissed the allegations and claimed Pitt attempted to equate common NDAs with an attempt to cover up his actions.

Murphy emphasised that the case was about power and control, with Jolie seeking separation and health for the family.

In their defence, Pitt's lawyers submitted Webb's declaration to illustrate that Jolie herself had utilised NDAs in the past, undermining her objections to signing them in the context of their legal dispute over their French winery, Chateau Miraval.

The legal battle between Jolie and Pitt has been marked by accusations and counter-accusations, with each party attempting to sway the court in their favour with their claims.

The latest allegations of Jolie allegedly encouraging the children to avoid Pitt during visits add another layer of complexity to the already long and complicated legal battle between the Hollywood exes.
