Angelina Jolie Alleges Brad Pitt “Choked” and “Struck” Kids on Plane

-In court filings for her countersuit over the winery, Angelina Jolie provided more details about the plane fight with Brad Pitt in 2016 that led to their abrupt split — and it’s even worse than I thought. In the new filing, first reported by the New York Times, Jolie alleges that Pitt got angry at her for being too “deferential” with the children and grabbed her “by the head and shook her, and then grabbed her shoulders and shook her again before pushing her into the bathroom wall.” The court filing adds, “The children rushed in and all bravely tried to protect each other. Before it was over, Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face. Some of the children pleaded with Pitt to stop. They were all frightened. Many were crying.” At one point, she claims “he poured beer on Jolie; at another, he poured beer and red wine on the children.”

-The craziest thing is these revelations only seemed to have finally come to light because he wouldn’t allegedly let her sell her winery shares to him without an NDA and has since been pestering her with lawsuits. Despite all the whispers about what might have went down on that plane, she didn’t talk about it for six years!

-I wonder if any of this is going to blow back on She Said, the upcoming movie he produced about the NYT investigation into Harvey Weinstein‘s serial abuse.

-Meanwhile, People is reporting that Pitt is “having fun” getting to know Emily Ratajkowski. Swell.

–Meghan Markle dropped a new podcast today and talked about the harmful “Dragon Lady” stereotype. “Movies like Austin Powers and Kill Bill presented these characters of Asian women as oftentimes over sexualized or aggressive…But this toxic stereotyping of women of Asian descent, it doesn’t just end once the credits roll.”

-Did Kanye West finally go too far for the fashion world? After wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt to Paris Fashion Week, Supreme creative director Tremaine Emory wrote on Instagram, “[You’re] just an insecure narcissist that’s dying for validation from the fashion world.” Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson called it an “incredibly irresponsible and dangerous act,” Gigi Hadid wrote “If there’s actually a point to any of your shit, [Karefa-Johnson] might be the only person that could save u… You’re a bully and a joke,” while British Vogue editor Edward Enninful said the shirt was “insensitive, given the state of the world.”

–Jaden Smith walked out of the show when he saw the shirt and later tweeted, “I Had To Dip Lol. True Leaders Lead. I Don’t Care Who’s It Is If I Don’t Feel The Message I’m Out. Black Lives Matter. We Demand A More Progressive Future”

-Academy members are divided about whether they’d vote for Will Smith’s Emancipation following his controversy.

-Buffy’s Emma Caulfield has gone public with her MS diagnosis. “I’m so tired of not being honest. And beyond that, my daughter has changed my perspective.”

–Dolly Parton, Hayley Williams, Reba McEntire, Sheryl Crow and many other stars have shared tributes to country music pioneer Loretta Lynn, who died Tuesday at age 90.

-Big Bang Theory stars Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki think series creator Chuck Lorre added more Penny-Leonard kissing and sex scenes even after Cuoco and Galecki’s real-life split, just to mess with the actors.

-People is reporting that Gisele Bündchen has hired a divorce lawyer and Tom Brady is “trying to figure out what to do.”

-Here’s the trailer for The Wonder, which got huge buzz out of TIFF for Florence Pugh’s performance.

-I’m here for a Jennifer Lopez romcom with a Jennifer Coolidge supporting role, but man, there is A LOT going on in the trailer for Shotgun Wedding. Still, it’s giving Lost City vibes and I bet it would have done ok in theatres instead of being streaming only.
