Brad Pitt accuses 'hypocrite' Angelina Jolie of refusing to sign 'cruel' NDA ... trends now
Brad Pitt has branded ex-wife Angelina Jolie a hypocrite for claiming he wanted to use an NDA in the sale of their French vineyard to 'control' her – despite regularly gagging her own staff with similar contracts.
Pitt, 60, and Jolie, 48, have been locked in a bitter battle over their French vineyard and home after the Tomb Raider star sold her $64million stake to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler in 2021.
The Chateau Miraval estate, which produces an award-winning sparkling rosé, is at the center of a long-running court battle between the pair.
Legal documents seen by DailyMail.com show that the actress claimed she walked out of talks to sell her part of the vineyard to Pitt for $54million because of standard non-disparagement clause in his proposed contract for the sale.

Part of their motion asks for Jolie to disclose any other NDA's that she entered into with third parties - including her own personal staff.

They argue that it could 'undermine her defense' and is the latest twist in the so-called 'War of the Rosés' between the former Hollywood couple.
Pitt's lawyers argue that disclosure of her NDAs will ultimately discredit Jolie's arguments over why she abandoned the talks with her estranged husband.
Court documents state: 'If Jolie conditioned her continued employment of an individual on that individual's agreement to an NDA covering what they witnessed in her home—including her treatment of her children and Pitt—that would be highly probative of whether she truly believed the provision requested by Pitt was an 'unconscionable gag order.'
