Breaking: Brad’s history of physical abuse against me, by Angelina: In dramatic court papers, actress claims Pitt regularly clashed with her and turned on their children in fight on private jet, writes ALISON BOSHOFF…

The last words in their marriage — entered into just 25 months previously — were allegedly uttered by Brad Pitt on the steps of the private jet which had brought him, Angelina Jolie and their six children from their house in France to Los Angeles in September 2016.

‘F*** you,’ he said, apparently. ‘F*** you all.’ For good ­measure, according to Ms Jolie, he called her a ‘bitch’ and ‘shook her’ by the head and shoulders.

The alleged argument on the plane, which ended their marriage, has been rehearsed by Ms Jolie in a court filing.

What started out as an altercation apparently between him and one of the children turned — she says — into a physical fight during which he poured beer and wine over his family and injured his wife by throwing himself backwards into a row of seats while she was clinging to his back.

However, in a new legal move the actress has claimed that Pitt — twice named People ­magazine’s ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ — was physically and emotionally abusive to her before that point.

The court papers claim that Ms Jolie has evidence of ‘Pitt’s history of physical abuse of the family and control abuse of Jolie’ and claims the children continue to experience ‘significant and ongoing post-traumatic stress’.

Attorneys for Ms Jolie refer to a ‘history of abuse, control and cover-ups’ and claim Ms Jolie has ‘testimony, emails, photographs, and other evidence’ which, they say, will show how Pitt tried to conceal his behaviour if they come to trial.

The actor’s denials of physical abuse are described in the court documents as ‘gaslighting’.

Additionally, it claims he exerted ‘coercive’ financial control over her via their dispute over the Miraval wine-making business as their divorce has dragged on over the past seven years.

Pitt has denied all allegations of physical abuse and was not charged following an FBI probe into the incident on the flight.

Ms Jolie rejected the NDA and told Pitt she intended to sell her share.

Pitt’s version of events suggests that her sale was a ‘vindictive’ act and fuelled by anger over a 50-50 custody decision.

This was later overturned after it was found that the judge had not declared a business relationship with a lawyer on Pitt’s team.

Ms Jolie’s lawyer Paul Murphy said: ‘By refusing to buy her interest but then suing her, Pitt put directly at issue why that NDA was so important to him and what he hoped it would bury: his abuse of Jolie and their family.’
