The former head of security for Angelina Jolie claims to have learned that the mom-of-six encouraged her children to 'avoid spending time' with Brad Pitt during custody visits.
The allegations have been made in new documents submitted to the LA Superior Court by lawyers for Pitt, who is currently fighting a legal battle with Jolie over their French winery, as well as a custody battle over their children.
The documents contain a statement from Tony Webb, a security company owner who worked for Jolie between 2000 and 2020, and who still works for Pitt.

In his statement, Webb claimed an aide for Jolie had tried to get him to help stop two contractors from Webb's company testifying in the custody battle.
“During the call, [the aide] told me that he had heard that two contractors who had provided personal security for Ms. Jolie through SRS Global might be testifying in the family court case. [He] then asked me to stop these two individuals from testifying," Webb alleged.
The security chief claimed the aide had reminded him that the contractors had 'entered into non-disclosure agreements with Ms. Jolie' and that the actor would 'sue' if they testified in the case.
However, one of the contractors 'specified that he intended to testify regardless of the NDA, if he received a court subpoena', Webb alleged.
Recalling the contractor's comments, Webb continued: “He also told me that if asked, he would testify about statements he overheard that Ms. Jolie made to the children, encouraging them to avoid spending time with Mr. Pitt during custody visits.”
Pitt and Jolie share six children together, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. Half of their children are now over 18.
Pitt's lawyers submitted the documents to prove Jolie had used NDAs herself, despite objecting to sign one when Pitt wanted to buy her out of the wine business.
In response to the court documents, an attorney for Jolie told UNILAD: “Mr. Pitt’s continued attempt to equate common NDAs for security personnel and housekeepers covering confidential information employees learn at work, with him demanding an expanded NDA to ensure the continued coverup of his deplorable actions remains shameful.
"This case is not about NDAs in general, but about power and control. All Angelina has ever wanted was separation and health, with positive relationships between all members of their family, including Mr. Pitt. She looks forward to the day when he is finally able to let her go.”
UNILAD has contacted representatives for Pitt and Jolie for comment.
