Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has shared new details about the physical abuse that she suffered during her marriage with actor Brad Pitt. In the latest countersuit filed by Jolie’s lawyers in Los Angeles, she said that their marriage ended after a series of “physical and verbal outburst by Pitt in September 2016 as the couple and their six children flew from France to California”.

The New York Times had access to the court filings and the report said that “Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face” and “grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her”. It added that “he poured beer on Jolie; at another, he poured beer and red wine on the children”.

While no police action was taken against the actor, Jolie filed for divorce just days after the incident.

“After reviewing the document, representative of the United States attorney’s office discussed the merits of this investigation with the case agent,” the NYT report said. “It was agreed by all parties that criminal charges in this case would not be pursued due to several factors.”

The current legal battle is being fought over Chateau Miraval – a French winery owned by both the actors. Jolie’s lawyers said that she was willing to sell her part, but negotiations broke down over the clause that she had to sign “a nondisclosure agreement that would have contractually prohibited her from speaking outside of court about Pitt’s physical and emotional abuse of her and their children”.

The court filings include details account from Jolie about the instances of “physical abuse”.

“Pitt grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her, and then grabbed her shoulders and shook her again before pushing her into the bathroom wall,” the filing states according to the report. “Pitt then punched the ceiling of the plane numerous times, prompting Jolie to leave the bathroom.”

Globally, one in four or 27 per cent of women are victims of violence at the hands of an intimate partner before the age of 50, according to a study published in The Lancet.

The study, carried out by researchers from McGill University and the World Health Organization (WHO) on more than 2 million women in 161 countries, showed that one in seven women (or 13 per cent) experienced intimate partner violence.

In addition, the analysis points to high levels of violence against young women. Around 24 per cent of those between the ages of 15 and 19 reported that they had experienced domestic violence in their lifetime.

Researchers from McGill University and the WHO noted that, while the numbers are alarming, the true scale of violence is likely much higher, given that the study was based on self-reported experiences.

Women may be reluctant to report their experiences due to the stigmatised nature of the issue, they explained.

"Intimate partner violence against women - which includes physical and sexual violence by husbands, boyfriends, and other partners - is highly prevalent globally," noted Mathieu Maheu-Giroux, a professor at McGill University.

According to the researchers, there were regional differences between high- and low-income countries, with a lower prevalence of cases reported both in terms of violence over the past year and in a lifetime.

Africa, South Asia, and parts of South America had the highest lifetime prevalence of violence among women aged 15 to 49. Among the regions, with the lowest lifetime domestic violence estimates, Central Asia and Central Europe ranked highest.

Women in North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific experienced intimate partner violence at a rate of about 5 per cent in the past year. In some areas of Africa, this number is as high as 15 per cent to 30 per cent.

"Overall, our research shows that governments are not on track to meet global targets to eliminate violence against women and girls. An important takeaway is that even in some high-income countries the prevalence of intimate partner violence is relatively high, which calls for investment in prevention at local and global levels," said Maheu-Giroux.

Researchers explained that the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/coronavirus">COVID-19</a> pandemic may have further compounded the problem worldwide. They said it was urgent to strengthen the public health response to intimate partner violence and ensure that the issues are addressed in the rebuilding efforts following COVID-19.

1 in 4 women experienced physical or sexual abuse at the hands of their partner: Lancet

FKA twigs has opened up about the abuse she was subjected to while she was in a relationship with actor Shia LaBeouf. In a tell-all interview to Elle magazine, twigs revealed that it was a 'miracle' that she had come out alive.&nbsp; 
 
"It's hard to do this publicly...but I want people to know my story. If I can't help people through my experience, it makes my experience 10 times worse. There has to be a point to this – a reason why this happened to me." 
 
In December 2020, the 33-year-old performer went public with her lawsuit about the abuse she reportedly suffered from her ex-boyfriend LeBeouf.&nbsp; 
Giving shilling accounts of how she was mentally and physically tortured by the actor, twigs recalled how he had driven maniacally one when they were heading back home from the spa on Valentine's Day. The incident is also mentioned in her lawsuit.&nbsp; 
 
According to twigs, LaBeouf insisted she professed her love while he sped and swerved into traffic.&nbsp; 
 
"I was thinking to myself, 'I wonder what would happen to my body...if [we] smashed into a wall at 80 miles per hour?' I was looking for the airbag and I couldn't see the airbag sign, so I was thinking, 'If he doesn't have an airbag, will this car crush my sternum?'" she recalled. "I was thinking, 'Oh no, if I crouch like that, and the front of the car crashes into my head, will it snap my neck?'" 
 
She states she tried to remove her bags and escape when they finally pulled over but the LaBeouf allegedly slammed her up against the car and tried to choke her. He had also tried to choke her the night before in a hotel while she was asleep. She recalls that she woke up to find him on top of her, trying to strangle her.&nbsp; 
 
Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, recalled how LaBeouf allegedly often disrupted her sleep by waking her up with accusations, including that she was masturbating or plotting her escape.&nbsp; 
 
On several occasions, she was made to watch true-crime documentaries about women suffering violence before going to bed. LaBeouf also allegedly kept a gun in the bedroom. 
 
"I would say to him, 'I really don't want to watch stuff like this before I go to bed. I'm sensitive, it affects me,'" she said. "It was so dark, and I was just like, 'I can't be totally immersed in this all the time.' I was very intimidated living with him. He had a gun by the side of the bed and was erratic. (I never knew what would) make him angry with me." 
 
The abuse not only took a toll on twigs but also on her relationships with other people.&nbsp; 
 
"One time, he heard me laughing on FaceTime with my friend. He came in and had a massive argument with me because he said he doesn't make me laugh like that," she said. "So then I had to hide laughing with my friends. It's (about) isolation, so I don't talk to my friends. He hated that I had an experience to myself (with) something that didn't involve him, a memory that gave me joy...He made me feel like I wasn't allowed joy, basically. That's what it boils down to: I wasn't allowed joy unless it directly revolved around him." 
 
She also held herself back from interacting with other people. She also alleged that some who knew LaBeouf and were aware of his behaviour turned a blind eye. 
 
"There (were) people who have worked with Shia that I openly spoke to about the abuse that I was going through," she said, recalling their appearance at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2019 to promote 'Honey Boy.' 
 
Without naming anyone, she said, "The reaction that I got (from his team)was pretty much, 'Okay. Well, it's Sundance.'"

Wrestling stars from WWE and AEW have been accused of sexual and physical abuse after #SpeakingOut emerged. #SpeakingOut is a #MeToo movement but for&nbsp;the wrestling industry.&nbsp;

One of the wrestles to come forward was Millie McKenzie. She accused her former trainer and New Zealand-born wrestler Travis Banks of emotional abuse during their relationship. McKenzie was 17 when she entered into a relationship with her then 30-year-old Banks.

In an interview with BBC, she said: "I hated wrestling. I hated everyone. I didn't talk to anyone".&nbsp;

&nbsp;"I just didn't want to be there because I'd had to have been around him and all his friends."

Banks on the other hand was also released by the WWE's NXT UK promotion. He spoke to BBC and issued a statement. He said: "I apologise again for the pain that was caused. This was an entirely consensual relationship but I recognise that what happened should not have happened.

"I support the efforts being made by the Speaking Out movement to enable everyone in wrestling, and other sports also, to feel safe and never have to face a similar situation."

Many women wrestlers have come forward for the #SpeakingOut movement. But some wrestlers like Ring of Honor star Kelly Klein who said she was raped, have chosen not to comment on this movement.

Male performers like David Starr and Impact Wrestling's Joey Ryan issued pacifying statements in response to a wave of allegations of sexual misconduct and then disappeared from social media.

Impact wrestling has fired Joey Ryan. According to WWE, it had released 205 Live and NXT star Jack Gallagher after he was accused of a sexual assault dating back to 2014, though the company did not give details of the reason for that decision. Gallagher is yet to respond to these allegations.&nbsp;

The WWE released a statement on the allegations against the performers in the wrestling company. It said: "Individuals are responsible for their own personal actions. WWE has zero tolerance for matters involving domestic violence, child abuse and sexual assault.

"Upon arrest for such misconduct, a WWE talent will be immediately suspended. Upon conviction for such misconduct, a WWE talent will be immediately terminated."

#SpeakingOut: Female wrestling stars speak out on sexual and physical abuse

Farrukhabad police shot and killed a man who held more than 20 children&nbsp;hostage,&nbsp;after staging a fake birthday party for his one-year-old daughter. Subhash Batham, the deceased criminal was accused of murder but had been out on bail.

The community later beat his wife to death, despite intervention from the police officers on site. Standoff between Batham and the police went for 10 hours before the cops forced their way into the building and killed him in a shootout. All the children were brought to safety.

Locals attacked Batham's wife with bricks and stones as she tried to flee. She was taken to the nearby hospital with head injuries and blood loss and later died of her injuries. Her involvement in the hostage situation is still unclear.

Also Read:&nbsp;

According to reports, the police attempted to convince him to surrender to several hours. Special forces were called in after the failed attempt of local law enforcement. Local residents stated that it was Batham's belief that the community was responsible for his arrest in the murder case and that this was an attempt to exact revenge.

One girl was allowed out after seven hours had passed, and Batham handed her to a neighbour from a balcony. He began shooting from the house after the police arrived at the scene. Two officers and a bystander were also injured in the shootout that soon followed.

According to reports, Batham had complained to the local District Magistrate about the lack of toilet facilities in his house, stating that he had been denied government housing. He tried to make his case by saying that he was a labourer and had an ailing mother who was forced to defecate in the open due to his current situation.
