A lawyer for Brad Pitt has responded to abuse that were detailed at length this week in a legal document filed by ex-wife Angelina Jolie, saying Pitt isn’t about to cop to any false accusations.<\/p>\n

“Brad has owned everything he’s responsible for from day one \u2014 unlike the other side \u2014 but he’s not going to own anything he didn’t do,” attorney Anne Kiley said Thursday in a statement to The Times.<\/p>\n

While Jolies’s made big headlines this week, they aren’t exactly new. The ones in this week’s filing nearly mirrored those found in an FBI document that went public in August, with one notable addition: In the Tuesday filing, Jolie alleged Pitt choked one of his children in 2016 during the divorce-precipitating incident on a private flight from France to the US It also alleges a drunken Pitt struck another child in the face.<\/p>\n

The FBI and Los Angeles County’s Department of Children and Family Services both investigated Jolie’s shortly after that flight, around the time the “Girl, Interrupted” actor for divorce. Pitt was never charged in connection with the incident, either by the US attorney’s office or on the advice of DCFS.<\/p>\n

A Los Angeles law enforcement source told The Times in 2016 that no punching or hitting had been alleged. Pitt told GQ in 2017 that he had stopped drinking after “boozing too much” while he was married to Jolie.<\/p>\n

Since then, Kiley said in Thursday’s statement, Pitt “has been on the receiving end of every type of personal attack and misrepresentation. … Brad will continue to respond in court as he has consistently done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Representatives for Jolie and Pitt declined to comment further Friday.<\/p>\n

Eve Sheedy, former executive director of the LA County Domestic Violence Council and former director of domestic violence policy at the LA City Attorney’s office, noted Friday that in situations similar to that of Pitt and Jolie, it wasn’t unusual for an abusive partner to “seek to exercise power and control” through means other than physical force, including controlling finances and decision-making.<\/p>\n
