Angelina Jolie shared new details regarding the breakdown of her marriage to Brad Pitt in a cross-complaint filed in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday.

In the countersuit, the 47-year-old Maleficent actress alleged that Pitt “choked” one of his children with Jolie during the now-infamous 2016 violent dispute on a private jet and hit another in the face. He also “grabbed” his then-wife by the head, according to court documents.

“To get Jolie off his back, Pitt threw himself backwards into the airplane’s seats, injuring Jolie’s back and elbow,” the documents allege.

Tuesday’s lawsuit was filed as part of an ongoing legal battle between the former couple over the French winery the duo once co-owned.

According to Jolie’s lawyers, negotiations for the actress to sell her share of Chateau Miraval to the Fight Club star broke down over his demand that she 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.”

Angelina Jolie children:

Jolie and Pitt have six children together – Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.

In 2002, Jolie became a mom for the first time when she adopted Maddox Chivan, 21, in Cambodia. After spending the first seven months of his life in an orphanage, Maddox became part of Jolie and Pitt’s family. At the time of Maddox’s adoption, Jolie was still married to Billy Bob Thornton. But, she adopted the boy on her own.

In 2005, Jolie started dating Pitt and by the end of the year, Pitt started the proceedings to adopt Maddox.

Three years later, she adopted Zahara Marley, 17, who was born in Ethiopia. Zahara was seven-months-old at the time of adoption.

In 2006, the actress gave birth to daughter Shiloh Nouvel, 16. The then-couple adopted their son Pax Thien, 18, from Vietnam. Pax was adopted by Jolie in 2007 at age three when the actress traveled to the country with Maddox. At the time, Jolie adopted the little boy solo as it is difficult for unmarried couples to adopt children under Vietnamese law. Pitt formally adopted Pax in 2008. 

In 2008, they decided to grow their family as they welcomed their twins Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline, 14, in Nice, France.
