Angelina Jolie has expressed hope that Brad Pitt will stop what she describes as “attacking” her now that their divorce proceedings have finally been settled. The settlement was approved on December 31, 2024, concluding a drawn-out legal battle that began in 2016 when Jolie filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Both parties have waived any future spousal support, marking a formal end to their turbulent eight-year separation.
The divorce settlement follows disputes over custody, Jolie’s sale of her stake in their French winery, and allegations linked to a 2016 private jet incident. Jolie’s attorney, James Simon, stated that she feels “relieved” but is “exhausted” from the prolonged legal battle. A source close to Jolie criticized Pitt for using his “power and privilege” to paint her as the cause of strained family relationships, adding that she hopes this resolution will help the family heal.
In response, sources close to Pitt countered by accusing Jolie of engaging in “one-sided attacks” that have caused “tremendous collateral damage” to their family. They pointed to her sale of her share of the winery to an outsider as an example of actions they allege were intended to punish Pitt, violating prior agreements to keep the business within the family.
The divorce’s resolution ends one of Hollywood’s most high-profile separations, but lingering tensions between the two suggest ongoing challenges in co-parenting and public perception. Both sides have yet to make official statements following the finalization of the case.
