Brad Pitt will "respond in court" to Angelina Jolie's claims he was violent towards their kids. The 'Maleficent' actress claimed in legal documents earlier this week that her ex-husband had "choked" one of their children and "struck another in the face" during a flight from France to California in September 2016, and while the 'Bullet Train' star's attorney slammed the claims as a "personal attack" and insisted he hadn't been violent towards his brood, his team will seemingly use legal channels to clarify his version of events.

Brad's attorney, Anne Kiley, told E! News in a statement: "Brad has owned everything he's responsible for from day one—unlike the other side—but he's not going to own anything he didn't do.

He has been on the receiving end of every type of personal attack and misrepresentation. "Thankfully, the various public authorities the other side has tried to use against him over the past six years have made their own independent decisions. "Brad will continue to respond in court as he has consistently done. " Angelina made the abuse claim as part of her cross complaint in the former couple's legal battle over Château Miraval, the winery they once owned together.

Lawyers acting on behalf of the 'Tomb Raider' actress - who has Maddox, 21, Pax, 18, Zahara, 17, Shiloh, 16, and 14-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox with Brad - claimed negotiations to sell her share of the alcohol business to her ex-husband 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.
