Brad Pitt was spotted leaving a Los Angeles office building on Tuesday, the same day his ex-wife Angelina Jolie accused him of choking one of their children on an infamous 2016 flight.
Pitt, 58, can be seen strolling out of the high-rise wearing sunglasses and a denim shirt and pants. The “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” star was clutching his phone in his right hand.
The feuding exes’ court battle over a French winery they bought together in 2008 escalated Tuesday when Jolie, 47, hit him with a cross-complaint that alleged he had attacked her and their six children on the overnight flight from France to Los Angeles.
Once in the air, Pitt allegedly pulled Jolie into the bathroom and “shook her, and then grabbed her shoulders and shook her again before pushing her into the bathroom wall,” the papers allege.
